Jonah Drye Jonah Drye 6'0" | PG Jesse Carson | 2025 NC | 5’11 Point Guard | Crown Academy
Drye was an impressive lead guard for Crown Academy with his ability to run the show. He does well to keep his dribble alive and navigate the lanes for easy opportunities to finish in the paint. He led the 14U division with 16.3 ppg on the weekend. He’s solid off the catch and off the bounce as a shooter. As he shows his impact defensively, look for his stock to grow in NC’s 2025 class.
Joshua Goodman Joshua Goodman 6'4" | SF Hampton County | 2025 State SC | 6’3 Guard/Wing | Big Shots Top 150
Goodman was a featured name on the Big Shots Top 15 that led the scoring attack for his squad. He finished with 15.5 ppg, showing off his motor getting downhill and finishing around the rim and showed his ability to shoot the ball on the perimeter as well. He’s a name to keep an eye on in the 2025 class in the state of South Carolina at Bamberg-Ehrhardt High.
Vance Johnson Vance Johnson 5'9" | CG NC | 5’9 Guard | Team Hope Polley
Johnson was a consistent face in the Team Hope Polley rotation, as he put up 12.7 ppg while leading their offensive attack. He showed poise dialing up shots on the perimeter and showed even more with his confidence getting to the paint and finishing around the rim. He’ll be an emerging guard to watch in NC’s 2025 class.
Jake Benham Jake Benham 6'2" | SG Concord Academy | 2025 State NC | 6’1 Guard/Forward | Crown Academy
Benham was another impressive name in the Crown Academy rotation with his ability to play inside and out, clean up the glass and get to the rim off the bounce. He showed off an ability to make his presence felt in a variety of ways while knocking down shots and showing his range as well. He’ll be a name to track given his impact on the floor.
Jayden Ross Jayden Ross 6'1" | CG Rocky River | 2025 NC | 5’11 Point Guard | Elite 1 Doyle
Ross is a shifty guard that had a productive summer in the Elite 1 Doyle rotation as a scorer and playmaker. He’s got nice length and quickness he uses well to create space for himself off the bounce and make things happen as the lead guard. He put up 10.3 ppg this past weekend and put himself on the 2025 radar in NC, especially with his defensive effort.
Anderson Lee Anderson Lee 6'1" | CG Northwest Cabarrus | 2025 State NC | 6’2 Guard/Wing | Elite 1 Doyle
Lee was another prospect in the Elite 1 Doyle lineup that showed off his stuff on the wing and in the backcourt. He’s got a ton of athleticism that he uses well to make plays at the rim on both ends of the floor. He’s an active presence on the wing that knows his role as a finisher and showed he can shoot and create off the bounce as well.
Marco Papis Marco Papis 6'3" | CG TBA | 2025 NC | 6’1 Guard | Elite 1 Doyle
Papis is the third name from Elite 1 Doyle that made an impact at Big Shots Southeast Showdown. He didn’t hesitate to be the first to the floor defensively and make plays with his “nose for the ball” mentality. He’s got solid instincts, especially as a high-level defender already and is worth keeping track of in NC’s 2025 class.
