Trey Green Trey Green 5'10" | PG Link Academy | 2023 #69 Nation MO – No. 11 to No 3
Green picked up where he left off at Vance High School when he joined the Lake Norman Christian ranks. He’s a playmaking combo guard with a good feel for creating 3-point shots off the bounce and maintains a high defensive presence on the opposite end as well. He’s a name that grew a ton during the high school season.
Joseph Bachman Joseph Bachman 6'8" | PF Greensboro Day | 2023 State NC – No. 12 to No. 8
Bachman is a big man prospect that has a ton of presence on both ends as a rim runner and rim protector. He finished his sophomore season posting 10.7 ppg, 7.8 rpg and 1.5 bpg as he saw a boost in his production on varsity in Year 2. He continues to show off his length and ability in the frontcourt.
Bryce Cash Bryce Cash 6'5" | CG Carmel Christian | 2023 State NC – No. 15 to No. 9
Cash solidified himself as a lead guard at Charlotte Christian this season, while posting 15.5 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 3.6 apg and 2.4 spg in 2020-21. He’s a matchup nightmare waiting to happen given his strength and length at 6-foot-5. He shot 46 percent from the field on the season as well. Look for his name to grow more this summer.
Elijah Strong Elijah Strong 6'8" | PF Myers Park | 2023 State #230 Nation NC – No. 28 to No. 12
Strong finds himself just outside the Top 10 after a productive sophomore season at Myers Park, building off the summer. He put up 19.0 ppg, 8.3 rpg, 2.6 apg and 2.3 bpg in the limited season, showing off his ability to be more than just a scoring threat in the post. Buy stock now.
Joshua Bullock Joshua Bullock 6'0" | PG Northside Christian Academy | 2024 State NC – No. 36 to No. 13
Bullock was a late addition to the Lake Norman Christian fold but he proved to be a solid piece in their backcourt as their third guard. He takes some pressure off their other scorers on the floor with his ability to create off the bounce and make plays for others.
William Brimmer William Brimmer 6'2" | CG New Bern | 2023 State NC – No. 27 to No. 15
Brimmer is due for a strong spring/summer after showing his growth with New Bern in 2020-21. He posted 15.3 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 3.0 spg, 2.5 apg and 2.2 bpg on the wing while showing off his presence as a two-way threat. He’s an athletic prosect at 6-foot-5 that has a relentless motor when he’s on the floor.
