2022 6-1 CG Aaron Oh – SBC – Mill Creek
Saturday was a coming out party for Aaron Oh. He impressed in a major way, recording 15 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. Oh evolved as the game went on. He was a knockdown shooter when he got his feet set behind the arc. Once he established his outside shot, Oh began to get into the lane. He’s a sneaky good slasher that can finish in traffic. His toughness extended to the defensive end of the floor where he rebounded inside and played solid defense on the perimeter. Keep an eye on Oh if you are a D-III program.

Following a breakout season in which he averaged 27.5 points and 9 rebounds per game, TJ Printup is now a household name in Northwest Georgia and he will try to make believers out of the entire state his senior season.

2023 5-7 PG Idan Azani – Inspire Atlanta – The Weber School
The smallest player on the floor was the most explosive player. Azani is a great athlete that plays with a burst of speed and a vertical explosion to the basket. He’s a major pest on defense that can take away air space. Azani can finish at the rim when he shakes his way inside. He will need to speed up his outside shot as it takes some time to load up, but the pace Azani plays with is the perfect energy to bring to a team.
