2023 6-2 G Carter Connelly – NME – North Paulding
Carter pitched in in a variety of ways to help NME beat Florida Suns Blue 59-56. He’s a quality shooter that takes what the defense gives him. Connelly is a willing rebounder and keeps the ball moving on offense. He hit a pair of threes, three free throws and scored on a putback to finish with 11 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals.
2024 6-1 W Dylan Higgins – Spartans Elite – Cardinal Mooney (FL)
Playing on a team void of a true post, Higgins was a jack of all trades for the Spartans. He has enough strength to rebound and score inside, but is also skilled enough to stretch out the floor and create mismatches off the dribble. He buried two three-pointers en route to 19 points and 7 rebounds against AOI.
2021 6-5 PF Mohammed Mbye – MVA Outlawz – Atlantic Cape CC
I liked the energy Mohammed Mbye brought to the interior in a 74-59 loss. Mbye is an active forward that plays bigger than his listed height. He competes on the glass and can finish with either hand. When given the opportunity, Mbye is comfortable shooting the three and also attacking the rim. He posted 5 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks.
2022 6-6 W Wesley Roberson – Auburn Raptors – Thompson (AL)
Versatility is the name of the game for Wesley Roberson. He can play multiple positions, serving as a point-forward that is capable of playing inside and out. Roberson is effective out of the high post with his jump shot and vision. He can create offense from the perimeter with a three-point shot and has the length to finish overtop of defenders when getting to the hoop. Roberson tallied 9 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals in a win over the MVA Outlawz.
2024 6-3 F Kenye Williams – Georgia Ignites 2024 – Groves
Williams caught my eye with his length and motor. He played bigger than his size, rebounding in traffic and scoring on putbacks. Kenye runs the floor well and can be effective without any set plays. His nose for the ball led to 11 points, 14 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. He has tools to develop into a nice player over time.
2023 6-5 F Josh Green – Carolina Bad Boyz – Wilson (SC)
On a team with clear-cut scoring options, Josh Green found his niche as an impactful defender. Green guards multiple spots with switchability against screens. He has a knack for picking up deflections and timing shots to block. He finished with 6 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks in an opening win over Team Strive Elite.
