Colin McKenzie Colin McKenzie 6'5" | SG First Baptist | 2022 State SC | 6’5 Guard | TMP Elite
McKenzie was quite the floor spacer for TMP Elite at the Big Shots Atlantic Coast Tip-Off. He finished third in the 17U Orange division while leading the scoring attack for TMP Elite 17 with 20.5 ppg. He’s a lengthy wing at 6-foot-5 that spaces the floor well with his ability to shoot on the perimeter and inside the arc.
Demetrius McKelvey Demetrius McKelvey 6'5" | SF Fort Dorchester | 2022 SC | 6’6 Forward | TMP Elite
McKelvey was a load in the paint on both ends given his solid frame and strength at 6-foot-6. He was quite the rim protector and rim runner for TMP Elite 17 as they made noise in the 17U Orange division. He was a presence on the rebounding and shot-blocking front on Day 2 of the Big Shots Atlantic Coast Tip-Off.
RJ McDonald RJ McDonald 6'1" | CG Cape Fear | 2022 State NC | 6’3 Guard/Wing | Fayetteville Flash
McDonald turned heads this past weekend in the 17U Orange division as he led the scoring attack with 23.0 ppg. He’s an athletic slasher that attacks the paint and finishes around the rim with efficiency. He put a lot of folks on notice with his ability to attack off the bounce and even put up 26 points against Garner Road Graves.
Montez Green Montez Green 6'2" | CG JH Rose | 2022 State NC | 6’1 Guard | Carolina Legend
Green was a top performer in the 17U Orange Division for the Carolina Legend picking up where he left off on the high school season. He posted 20.0 ppg including the game-winner against Big Shots Elite NC 2022 Lewis where he finished with a big 27-points, showing off his ability to knock down 3-pointers and operate off the bounce.
Joe Thompson Joe Thompson 6'1" | CG South Central | 2022 State NC | 6’3 Guard/Wing | Carolina Legend
Thompson has great instincts on the wing as a floor spacer and shooter on the perimeter. He doesn’t get tunnel vision though and won’t hesitate to put the ball on the floor and finish in the paint. He’s got good length and instincts at 6-foot-3 and put up 13.3 ppg for the Legend this past weekend.
Mikey Campbell Mikey Campbell 6'5" | SF Westover | 2022 State NC | 6’5 Forward/Wing | Garner Road
Campbell put the gym on notice all weekend with his ability to take off down the lane and finish with authority at the rim as he did on numerous occasions for Garner Road . As he gets adjusted to his new grassroots club, look for his stock to grow this spring/summer with Garner Road .
