Julian Phillips Julian Phillips 6'8" | SF Link Academy | 2022 #19 Nation MO – Blythewood HS – Upward Stars SE 3SSB Southeast 2022 (pictured on front)
Phillips is ranked the #1 player in the 2022 Palmetto State and he played up to that billing this whole July NCAA Period. Phillips has several High Major schools courting him currently. Phillips a long and rangy forward showed great versatility on both ends of the floor this weekend. Julian brings a great demeanor to the floor and just brings constant consistency for his squad.
Lebron Thomas Lebron Thomas 6'2" | CG Trinity Collegiate | 2022 State SC – Trinity Collegiate (Darlington) – Florence International Basketball
Thomas recently picked up a offer from the University of Mount Olive (NC) (NCAA D2). Lebron a left-handed attacking guard really piled up the points for his FIBA team this weekend in Rock Hill. Thomas is at his best when going to the basket and getting to the foul line at a high clip. Thomas is geared to score the ball but is probably undervalued at times for his passing skills from the guard position.
Bobby Taylor Bobby Taylor 5'10" | PG Daniel | 2022 State SC – Daniel HS – (Central) – Upward Stars SE 3SSB Rudy
Taylor a left-handed point guard plays the game at such a good pace at all times. Taylor sees the floor very well and is always willing to make that extra pass to a open teammate. Bobby can knockdown open shots on the perimeter and was able to connect on some mid-range jumpers today.
Daniel Penosky Daniel Penosky 6'2" | SG Fort Mill | 2022 State SC – Legion Collegiate (Rock Hill) – Upward Stars SE 3SSB Rudy
Penosky is a SHOOTER that’s for sure. Daniel seems best when he has some time and space for his shot from downtown. Penoksy played last season at Fort Mill HS before transferring over to the Lancers for this coming season. Penosky a spot-up shooter was lights out in the opening round game Prep Hoops saw him play.
Xavier Moultrie Xavier Moultrie 5'11" | PG Ridge View | 2022 State SC – Ridge View HS – Upward Stars Columbia
Moultrie a left-handed water-bug point guard really made things go for his Columbia based program. Xavier really looked to push the transition game and tempo all day long. Moultrie a pesky on the ball defender was able to manufacture some points picking up some steals today. Moultrie and the Blazers will be a tough out again this season in Class 5A here in the Palmetto State.
