No. 55 Josh Helms Josh Helms 6'0" | CG Laney | 2024 State NC | Laney
Helms was productive in spurts for the Laney Buccaneers varsity squad in 2020-21 as he posted 5.0 ppg. As he learns to do the other things on the floor to make an impact and help his squad win, he’s an electric guard prospect to keep track of.
No. 57 Landon Foley Landon Foley 6'3" | CG Catawba Ridge | 2024 State SC | Catawba Ridge
Foley has shown a ton of promise as a rim runner and presence on the wing already at Catawba Ridge and with CC Elite 2024. He’s got a fearless ability to attack the basket and a ton of athleticism to go along with it which allows him to finish at the rim with ease.
No. 66 Daidien Sutton Daidien Sutton 6'4" | SF Hunt | 2024 State NC | Wilson Prep
Sutton played sparingly this past season for a Wilson Prep squad that won the 2A NCHSAA State title in 2020-21. Look for his role to grow in 2021-22 and he’s due to be a strong presence in the Team Trezz rotation this grassroots season. He’s got a ton of athleticism and an ability to get to the rim and finish.
No. 67 Brayden Crump Brayden Crump 6'8" | C Winston-Salem Christian | 2024 State NC | Winston-Salem Christian
Crump is a 6-foot-8 forward that had a ton of promise in 2020-21 before his season was derailed due to injury back in November. He’s due to climb back up the ranks with a return to full health. He’s got the ability to play on the perimeter and in the paint with his size and skillset.
No. 85 Landon Pearson Landon Pearson 6'3" | CG Clinton | 2024 State NC | Clinton
Pearson is a prospect with a winning mentality at Clinton High. He put up 6.5 ppg, 2.4 rpg and 1.5 apg in the varsity rotation in 2020-21. He’s an emerging guard to keep an eye on with a ton of potential in the backcourt.
No. 98 Jaylen Sturdivant Jaylen Sturdivant 6'4" | CG Hoke | 2024 State NC | Hoke County
Sturdivant made his presence felt as one of the lone freshmen in the Hoke County rotation in 2020-21. He’s a 6-foot-3 guard prospect that isn’t afraid to get to the paint and make plays around the rim. He’s also an active rebounder that’s just getting started on the hardwood.
