Caden Fitzgibbons Caden Fitzgibbons 6'2" | SG Winston-Salem Christian Academy | 2023 State NC | 6’3 Guard | Big Shots Select Winston-Salem
Fitzgibbons continues to show his growth as a playmaker and defender in the Big Shots Select Winston-Salem backcourt. He showed he can get to the rim and finish through contact and knock down shots off the catch while putting up 10.3 ppg on their way to the 17U crown.
Lewis Walker Lewis Walker 6'6" | PF Winston-Salem Christian | 2024 State #178 Nation NC | 6’5 Forward | Big Shots Select Winston-Salem (2024)
Walker made an appearance on the Big Shots stage this past weekend with Big Shots Select Winston-Salem and didn’t disappoint with his ability to get to the rim and be a presence in the paint. He’s put on some muscle and as a result, he’s a lot more deliberate about getting to the paint and finishing around the rim. He took home MVP honors in the 17U Division at Big Shots Carolina Rise Summer Showdown.
Tajahri Cave Tajahri Cave 6'0" | PG Winston-Salem Christian | 2023 State NC | 6’0 Point Guard | Winston 76ers (2023)
Cave is an emerging name to know in NC’s 2023 class that was impressive this past weekend with the Winston 76ers. He’s a strong, athletic guard with a knack for getting to the paint and finishing, making plays for others and is quite the defender as well. He’s due for a breakout season at Winston-Salem Christian given his ability to do multiple things.
Camden Richardson | 6’3 Guard | Hill City Crash (William Byrd)
Richardson is quite the athletic slasher with an ability to get to the paint and finish with authority. He uses his length and downhill driving ability well to get to the paint and turn heads with his ability to finish in traffic. He finished with 13.0 ppg while showing off his skills. As he shows he can shoot equally as well, look for his name to grow.
Jack Wimmer | 6’4 Forward/Wing | Hill City Crash (Jefferson Forest)
Wimmer is an emerging name to know in Hill City Crash’ frontcourt given his motor, shooting and ability to be a presence on the glass. He finds ways to make plays with the ball in his hands as he did on numerous occasions this past weekend. He finished with 13.3 ppg including 24 points in a close victory against Team Impact NC.
