LJ Holifield | 5-9 G | Faith Academy
Holifield is a terrific guard that can be the leader his team needs. He displays a great scoring ability and can fly to the rim. On defense, Holifield can create turnovers and rebound when near the rim.
Jeffery Sullivan | 5-11 G | Satsuma
Sullivan could be Satsuma’s best player this season. He can score from anywhere on the court and can ice the game late with clutch free throws. Sullivan is a dynamic playmaker at both ends of the court and has good size to match with defenders.
T.J. McPherson | 5-10 SF | St Paul’s Episcopal
McPherson is solid small forward that can both outside and in the paint. He can drive inside and get to the rim or hit an open shot from deep. McPherson excels at hitting contested shots over defenders and he can play outstanding defense.
Barton Elliott | 6-2 F | UMS-Wright
One of two UMS-Wright stars on this list, Elliott is a solid forward that can take on bigger defenders near the rim and get to the basket. He can also play well in transition and can score from anywhere on the floor.
Christopher Jones | 5-8 PG | UMS-Wright
Jones, the second UMS-Wright star on the list, will be a player to watch for the next few seasons. He can score from anywhere on the floor and is a solid point guard. With the ball in his hands, Jones can pivot past defenders in hesitation and hit any open jumper to excite the crowd and electrify the stat sheet.
