Ashton Troutman Ashton Troutman 6'7" | SF Uwharrie Charter | 2023 State NC , 6’6 Forward/Wing, Uwharrie Charter Academy, 2023
Troutman returns looking to do more damage with Uwharrie Charter after a strong sophomore season. He put up 16.5 ppg and 8.6 rpg while shooting 68 percent from the field on the year. He’s a 6-foot-6 prospect with some inside-out ability when he’s on the floor for his squad. Look for him to grown in the 2023 class this year.
Keyshawn Adams Keyshawn Adams 6'6" | PF Bessemer City | 2023 State NC , 6’6 Forward, Bessemer City, 2023
Adams is a 2023 prospect that’s flown under the radar at Bessemer City High. He’s a wiry 6-foot-6 prospect that can score and rebound in bunches on the interior. He’s a big man prospect worth getting eyes on with some mobility and length that can get after it.
Adam Harvey Adam Harvey 6'3" | SF Chatham Charter | 2023 State NC , 6’4 Forward/Wing, Chatham Charter, 2023
Harvey is a versatile prospect that emerged this past grassroots season with Rising Pro Training. He’s set to make an impact in the Chatham Charter rotation with his ability to operate inside and out with his size and ability.
Daidien Sutton Daidien Sutton 6'4" | SF Hunt | 2024 State NC , 6’4 Wing/Forward, Wilson Prep, 2024
One of the more athletic prospects in the 2024 class, Sutton’s role is due to grow in the Wilson Prep rotation as they sport a young frontcourt of prospects. He’s a 6-foot-4 slasher that likes to get downhill and finish at the rim. As he shows off his ability to knock down shots, look for his role to grow as should his recruitment.
David Ellis II David Ellis II 6'8" | C Wilson Prep | 2024 State NC , 6’6 Forward, Wilson Prep, 2024
Ellis is the forward that’s next up in the Wilson Prep rotation with the departures of Devyn Bullock and Eric Wynn. He burst onto the scene this past grassroots season with Carolina Swarm. He posted a double-double (18 pts, 12 rebs) in his 2021-22 debut in the Wilson Prep rotation. He’s a physical prospect to keep an eye on with the Tigers with plenty of two-way ability.
