He rebounds, finishes inside, provides leadership and blocks shots at a high rate. Combine all these things with his size at 6’5, 200+ and you have a player that is on the radar of college coaches.
Apex Junior Sam Martin: It doesn’t take much time watching him to see why he’s such an intriguing prospect. What is there not to like about a 6’9 prospect with skillset that can stretch the defense with his ability to shoot the ball? Down the stretch of the game he didn’t score much but he had plenty of blocked shots and rebounds.
East Chapel Hill Junior Marquez Cotton Marquez Cotton 6'4" | PF East Chapel Hill | 2023 State NC : We were impressed with the motor that he played with throughout the event. It seemed as if every time a shot went up he was crashing the boards, looking to provide extra possessions for his team.
Union Pines Junior Demari Patterson: He doesn’t have the typical stature of a post player but he doesn’t allow that to hold him back from getting the job done. Finding a body to box out when a shot goes up and using his strength to outwork taller opponents, he rebounded the ball at a nice rate to help his team get the win.
Green Level Freshman Isaac Erickson: The 6’6 prospect with plenty of upside is one that we will be keeping a very close eye on. He didn’t have a high amount of success shooting the ball but you can tell by his shooting form that he’s a shooter that just had somewhat of an off shooting day. On the defensive side of the ball he has the tools to be successful and had several blocks throughout the day.
