DeMariel Smith DeMariel Smith 6'4" | PG Gaffney | 2023 SC — Legion Collegiate Academy/4K Hoops/Upward SE 2023– 6’4 left-handed point guard, excels in transition, ability to finish at the rim with either hand. Smith has great size and length at the point guard position to be able to deny passes and swallow the ball-handler. He should continue to expand his game, primarily with shooting, and this kid has a tremendously bright future.
Timothy Salter Timothy Salter 6'9" | C Union County | 2023 SC -Legion Collegiate Academy/4K Hoops/ Upward SE 2023– 6’9 big man who continues to get better every game he plays. He has great hands to catch passes in traffic and ability to finish well with his right. Footwork is through the roof for the amount of time he has played basketball.
Prince Johnson Prince Johnson 6'7" | PF Pebblebrook | 2023 State GA –Marlboro County HS– Upward Stars SE 3SSB Pee Dee– Runs the floor very well. Always looks engaged on the floor, and knows when to attack and when to pass. Prince still needs time to figure his game out, but at 6’6 he has the ability to take the ball coast to coast and finish, which is very intriguing.
Kaleb Caldwell Kaleb Caldwell 5'10" | PG North Central | 2023 State SC — North Central–Team USC 2023 Elite– Very high IQ. Has the ability to get into the lane, draw contact and make FTs. Likes to get to his spot on the floor and make shots. Exceptional in transition with great finishing touch around the rim.
Kanye Nelson Kanye Nelson 6'0" | PG Legion Collegiate | 2023 State SC — Legion Collegiate Academy/York County Legends– 6’0 PG with a very quick first step, ability to get into the lane and make the right play. In transition, he is aggressive in drawing contact and finishing.
Arden Conyers Arden Conyers 6'7" | SF Westwood | 2023 State SC — Gray Collegiate/ Upward Stars SE 3SSB Elite 2023– 6’6 Big. Arden is long, athletic, and has the ability to guard 1-5. He runs the floor extremely well on one end and protects the rim at a high level on the other end. His playmaking is under-appreciated as he is capable of grabbing a rebound, and carrying it down the floor and finish at the rim.j
