Another player that doesn’t necessarily have the same height as your typical Forward, he simply does not allow himself to get outworked and does a nice job rebounding on both ends.
The Dawgs Sophomore Wing Ari Fulton Ari Fulton 6'7" | SF Westover | 2024 State NC : Has a chance to be a really special prospect and is the type of player that brings the same amount of effort on both ends of the floor. He makes plays above the rim on both ends, is becoming a multiple level scorer and doesn’t mind allowing himself to be coached. Be on the lookout for Ari to continue to improve and climb the NC C/O 2024 ranks.
Patriots Senior Guard Christian Freeman: This was our first time getting a close look at Christian and we left the gym very impressed. The full court defensive pressure that he applied all game to go along with the aggressiveness he displayed on the offensive end, made a nice impact for his team and was a part of the reason they were able to secure the win.
Northside Senior Guard Tristan Harkins: Plays the game the way it’s supposed to be played, picking his spots and make the right plays more times than not . On the defensive side of the ball he does a nice of containing players without fouling.
Bucks Sophomore Guard Jaylen Sturdivant Jaylen Sturdivant 6'4" | CG Hoke | 2024 State NC : This was his first time competing in the 9DIME Fall League but he did not disappoint, going for a team high of 18 Points. He showcased the ability to score the ball from multiple levels, does not back down from any matchup and plays the game with plenty of confidence.
Bucks Senior Guard TJ Murray: He’s small in height but plays the game with intensity and toughness. Facilitating and controlling the tempo of the game were some of the attributes that we saw from him. If they hope to make a deep run in the playoffs this season, he will be one of the players that will play a vital part in their success.
Bucks Senior Forward Jeremiah Melvin Jeremiah Melvin 6'5" | SF Cape Fear High | 2024 State NC : One of those players that you don’t have to run any plays for, he is going to work just as hard if not harder than any player he’s matched up with. He rebounded the ball, scored inside the paint and made a very nice impact on the defensive end of the court.
Rosehill Junior Wing Steve Lassiter: College coaches that don’t have him on their radar should keep a close eye on him over the high school season as he has made impressive strides over the past year. On Saturday we saw his ability to make plays off the dribble, knock down shots, as well as making a nice impact on the defensive side of the ball.
