But, the next set of players on the preseason second-team list are talented individuals as well, and should help their teams right away.
Alex Vandenbergh, Collierville: The 6-foot-4 forward plays physical and is tough around the edges. Vandenbergh can provide spacing for the Dragons thanks to his ability to make shots from the perimeter. He can crash the boards, set solid screens in pick-and-roll situations, and moves well without the basketball. Vandenbergh is going to help Collierville in many ways in 2021.
Phil Dotson III, Collierville: Dotson is going to provide scoring for the Dragons, something they will need after losing Texas Southern commit Davon Barnes last season to graduation. He can make shots from the perimeter, with the 3-point shot being his favorite to make. The senior guard will be able to provide minutes to both guard positions, so Dotson will be valuable to a Collierville team that’s looking to make a second straight state tournament run.
Reggie Labattes, Cordova: Labattes is an important senior to the Wolves’ success this season. He has shown flashes of scoring and bringing high energy on both ends of the floor. Labattes will need to average in double figures each night to give Cordova the second scoring punch behind sophomore point guard Emerson Tenner. With the Wolves being very young in 2021, Labattes will have to show he has leadership skills when things get tough for the team.
Anthony Medlock, Germantown: Medlock will be one of the most athletic wings in the district this season. The 6-4 shooting guard is at his best when he’s in transition. Medlock knows how to finish at the rim. When he’s in a rhythm, Medlock can make shots from the perimeter. Unlike his role at Arlington for the past two seasons, Medlock will be one of the top two scoring options for the Red Devils in 2021. He will just need to produce.
Charvez Ambrose, Bartlett: The 6-5 wing is heading into the 2021 season as the Panther’s 3-and-D guy. Ambrose is a catch-and-shoot wing, and thanks to his long arms, Ambrose can be disruptive on the defensive end. His job at Bartlett this season will be to make big, timely shots and play solid on-ball perimeter defense.
