A silky-smooth southpaw from the GISA, Makaleb McBride Makaleb McBride 6'3" | CG Robert Toombs Christian | 2022 State GA always seems to produce.

He has a good nose for the ball on defense. There’s not much that McBride doesn’t excel at.
- 6-2 CG Julius King Jr. – FPD
(Up from No. 79)
One of the best isolation scorers in the class, Jay King is a nightmare when on an island. He has combo dribble moves that freeze defenders and allow him to either get to the rim or pull up with his jump shot. King routinely nails difficult threes off the dribble and can be unguardable when in a zone.

State
GA
– Habersham Central
(Up from No. 85)
It’s not easy to average 20 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in arguably one of the best regions in the entire state, but Mali Dooley did so. He’s a smart guard with a quick first step. He understands how to use his body to draw contact when getting to the hoop. Dooley is a scrappy defender and an overall reliable floor leader.

– Berkmar
(Up from No. 150)
Ahmed Soumahoro Ahmed Soumahoro 6'3" | SG Berkmar | 2022 State GA has served as a rotation player in his high school career, but he looks ready to see key minutes his senior season. He’s a freakish athlete that can do a little bit of everything. He chips in on the glass, he makes plays on defense and of course, he provides highlights at the rim. Soumahoro is more than just a slasher however. He’s a really good three-point shooter that helps space the floor.

(Up from No. 121)
You don’t have to worry about effort from high motor big man Yannis Woods Yannis Woods 6'7" | PF Jonesboro | 2022 State GA . He’s an active and athletic long forward that runs the floor and rebounds. He will need to add some wight for the next level, but Woods has upside as a four-man. Woods uses his length to block shots and ignite fast breaks. If he’s able to work on his ball handling and outside shot, he could be a combo-forward at the next level.
