Walker had a productive summer with Team CP3 while getting the attention of a few college coaches. With the season around the corner, he’s due to turn heads with his increased motor and ability to use his size to get to the rim. He’s a forward to keep eyes on in the Winston-Salem Christian rotation.
Kobe George Kobe George 6'3" | PG Winston-Salem Christian | 2023 #213 Nation NC | 6’3 Point Guard | The Burlington School
George is due to turn a corner in 2021-22 with The Burlington School at the point guard position. He’s one of the best passers in the class and will have that along with his slashing ability on display this season as they look to win another state title in the NCISAA.
Rakease Passmore Rakease Passmore 6'6" | SF Combine Academy | 2024 State #50 Nation NC | 6’4 Guard | AC Reynolds
Passmore is an emerging athletic guard prospect with a ton of upside getting to the rim and finishing with authority. Defensively, he uses his length to protect the rim and alter shots in the paint. He’s due for a strong sophomore season at AC Reynolds.
Maurio Hanson Maurio Hanson 6'7" | PF JL Chambers | 2024 State NC | 6’6 Forward | JL Chambers
Hanson is an emerging prospect at 6-foot-6 that has a ton of upside on the hardwood as a versatile big man. With Jaylen Curry Jaylen Curry 6'1" | PG Calvary Christian | 2023 State #109 Nation FL and Daniel Sanford Daniel Sanford 6'8" | PF JL Chambers | 2022 State NC as seasoned names in the rotation, he’ll be the third option they’ll be looking to bring along as another inside-outside threat. Look for him to play a big role in their success this year.
Drake Powell Drake Powell 6'6" | CG Northwood | 2024 State #8 Nation NC | 6’5 Guard/Wing | Northwood
Powell is due for a bigger role on the wing for Northwood after a deep run in the state tournament in 2020-21. He’s a prospect with a knack for defending at a high level and can knock shots on the perimeter with a ton of efficiency. He’s due for a strong sophomore year after averaging 11.4 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 3.9 apg, 2.3 spg and 1.1 bpg.
