No. 28 Camden Edmonds Camden Edmonds 6'5" | CG West Stokes | 2024 State NC | 6’4 Forward/Wing | West Stokes High
Edmonds came on strong to close out the grassroots season with Winston 76ers and made his mark at the Triad BlueChip Academy First 48 County Clash. He’s an active prospect with versatility given his ability to alter shots at the rim and create off the bounce on the perimeter. He’s an emerging name to know at West Stokes High.
No. 33 Zion Gardner Zion Gardner 6'8" | C Word of God | 2024 NC | 6’8 Forward/Center | Word of God Academy
Gardner is a mover into NC’s 2024 class out of the state of South Carolina, following his brother, Brandon, into the Word of God ranks. He’s set to bolster their frontcourt and breakout after putting up 6.4 ppg and 3.8 rpg in 2020-21. Look for his name to grow in the 2024 class.
No. 35 Landon Kai Johnson Landon Kai Johnson 6'8" | PF Forsyth Country Day | 2024 NC | 6’8 Forward/Center | High Point Christian Academy
Johnson is an active presence on both ends of the floor given his length at 6-foot-8. He’s another name that came on strong at the Triad BlueChip Academy First 48 County Clash. He’s got good activity around the rim as a clean-up guy on the boards and a nice shooting stroke as well. He’ll be worth tracking in 2021-22 at High Point Christian Academy.
No. 47 Iverson King Iverson King 6'6" | CG Forsyth Country Day | 2024 State NC | 6’6 Guard/Wing | Forsyth Country Day
King is another mover into the 2024 class, moving over to Forsyth Country Day School for the 2021-22 season. He’s a versatile prospect at 6-foot-6 with good instincts creating off the bounce, creating for others and defending with presence. As he shows he can get by smaller defenders and finish in the paint, look for his recruitment to grow in the state.
No. 50 Derrick Eley Derrick Eley 6'0" | CG Hopewell | 2024 State NC | 6’0 Guard | Hopewell High
Eley is an emerging guard that fared well on the EYBL circuit with Team United this past summer as they made it down to the finals in Peach Jam. He finished with 10 points, five rebounds and two steals despite a 66-60 loss. After spending some time on JV with Hopewell High in 2020-21, he looks ready to make a jump in 2021-22 on varsity.
