Melian Martinez Melian Martinez 6'11" | C North Florida Education Institute | 2022 State FL | 6’10 Forward/Center | Garner Road Graves
Martinez is a big man prospect that’s emerged on the Garner Road Graves rotation given his ability to be a presence in the paint on both ends. He’s shown he can block shots at a high rate and finish around the rim through contact this spring in the frontcourt. As he shows off his skillset this summer, look for his name to grow in the state and at the national level.
Omari Bolden Omari Bolden 6'3" | CG Quality Education | 2022 State NC | 6’2 Shooting Guard | Big Shots Select Winston-Salem
Bolden has been stellar this spring on the grassroots scene for Big Shots Select Winston-Salem. He’s got good instincts on the perimeter as a floor spacer and efficient shooter on the perimeter but won’t hesitate to put the ball on the floor as well and get to the rim. He’s also a strong defensive presence that uses his length to make an impact as well. He’s a shooter to keep an eye on as the summer season approaches.
Po’Boigh King Po’Boigh King 6'4" | CG Word of God | 2022 State NC | 6’5 Shooting Guard | Boo Williams Carolina
King is back to his usual self with Boo Williams Carolina. He’s a 6-foot-5 prospect that’s lights out from behind the perimeter and even more lethal off the bounce with his athleticism around the rim. He’s been a strong addition to the rotation given his ability to be instant offense for them. As the summer approaches, look for his name to emerge in the live period.
Broderick Ellis II Broderick Ellis II 6'7" | PF NC GBBA National | 2022 State NC | 6’7 Wing/Forward | Boo Williams Carolina
Ellis is coming along as a versatile threat on the wing and in the post. He’s got the ability to create on the perimeter and operate as a post threat depending on matchups. As he improves his strength in the post, he’s a prospect to keep an eye on as he’s turning heads.
Jahterius Horne Jahterius Horne 6'3" | PF Hunt | 2023 State NC | 6’3 Forward/Wing | Team DBGH
Horne has emerged as a new face already in the class with Team DBGH and continues to show off his ability around the rim and on the perimeter as a threat on both ends. He doesn’t hesitate to crash the glass on either end to make his presence felt and even without the ball in his hands, he knows how to make his presence felt.
