Prep Hoops was in the house to put its eyes on as many Palmetto State teams as possible this weekend. Lets take a look at some of the 2023 Top Performers we were able to see play on Saturday.
Jayden Boyd Jayden Boyd 6'7" | PF Northwestern | 2023 State SC – Northwestern HS (Rock Hill) – York County Legends
Boyd really came in the tourney opener and looked like a man on a mission in the first half vs M Maze – Penny. Boyd scored 17 first half points coming around the cup. Boyd was effective inside the paint and along the short corner scoring buckets. Boyd was determined to score the ball and played quite aggressive against the bigger B Maze Elite – Penny squad.
Grayson Kirk Grayson Kirk 6'2" | CG Lancaster | 2023 State SC – Lancaster HS – York County Legends (pictured on front)
Kirk plays the game with a great deal of confidence from the back court. Kirk was able to penetrate – kick and find the open man or slash to the rack. Kirk connected on a few three pointers today. Kirk will look to take over the leadership reins for the Bruins next season at the high school level.
Zion Wright Zion Wright 6'5" | SF Saluda | 2023 State SC – Saluda HS – Carolina Pressure 2023
Wright looks like he might of grown a bit this season for the Tigers. Wright does his best work around the paint being active and collecting tip ins. Wright a long and rangy forward was active in passing lane that led to a few steals on the day. Wright connected on few some mid-range jumpers today.
Arturo Overton Arturo Overton 5'11" | PG Lower Richland | 2023 State SC – Lower Richland HS (Hopkins) – Carolina Pressure 2023
Overton really looks to score the ball from the guard position. Overton a left-handed guard connected on some open looks while playing off the ball today. Overton and Wright will look to provide leadership for this Carolina Pressure 2023 moving forward.
Randy Gibson Randy Gibson 6'1" | PG Scott's Branch | 2023 State SC – Scott’s Branch HS (Summerton) – Big Shots SC Premier 2023 / Team Salley
Mr. Gibson brings his game every time he comes to play. Gibson plays the game extremely hard each and every play. Gibson never looks to showboat, throw his hands up in the air, yell at the other team HE just plays the game. Gibson a left-handed guard has improved on his perimeter shooting some but feels most comfortable going to the basket or finding a open teammate. Gibson has helped his high school team to back to back Class 1A State Championship appearances.
Justin Daniels Justin Daniels 6'2" | PG Manning | 2023 State SC – Manning HS – Big Shots SC Premier 2023 / Team Salley
Daniels was effective on the opening day with his play vs CC Elite 2024. Daniels at one time scored 7 straight points while attacking the basket. Daniels a offensive minded guard plays the game a bit wildly at times in a good sense and really likes to get out in transition. Daniels swarms the ball on the defensive end at times that leads to easy buckets.
Chrisean Oree Chrisean Oree 6'3" | CG Keenan | 2023 State SC – Keenan HS – PCH Nightrydas SC
Oree plays up a age group on the Grassroots Circuit. Oree really came out on fire today and connected on some long range shooting from behind the arc. Oree uses the ball-screen well to turn the corner and stop and pop for his shot. Oree isn’t afraid to sacrifice his body for a loose ball on the floor.
