He has really good size at 6’9 and is mobile with good footwork. He has a soft touch inside the paint and can get in his bag with post moves to keep defenders guessing. He is an intimidator on the defensive end, blocking shots and grabbing lots of rebounds.
Isaiah Pettigrew (Mamba Elite) – Pettigrew impressed this weekend showing his size and dominance down low. He had a solid post up game with a variety of different moves. He is a pick n roll and a lob threat that you always have to keep your eyes on. Super aggressive and his strength alone helps him take over games. Getting to the line a lot he can also knock down his free throws.
Jeremiah Flournoy Jeremiah Flournoy 6'5" | PF Salem | 2022 State GA (Smyrna Stars) – Flournoy is a unique player that can play multiple positions. He has the body size to play bigger than what he is to help him guard bigger defenders. He crashes hard on the offensive glass resulting in lots of easy second chance points. Plays through contact and plays hard even when he doesn’t get a call. A leader on the defensive end and will gladly take on the best player on the other team. Gets blocks and deflections causing havoc in the defensive end.
Karris Bilal Karris Bilal 6'2" | PG Riverwood | 2024 State #243 Nation GA (Ga Stars EYBL) – Bilal has such a special ability to score the ball. He is a threat from anywhere on the floor. I watched him knock down multiple deep threes during the game. He gets to his spot really well and can create his own shot with ease. He is comfortable playing the 1 position with his elite handle and able to get his teammates involved making smart passes.
Keishawn Hampton Keishawn Hampton 6'1" | PG Collins Hill | 2023 State GA (Norcross Heat) – Hampton is a legit floor general. He takes command of this team and he is the engine that drives them. He is a terrific leader on the floor holding his teammates accountable and putting them in the right positions to score. He also can score the ball very well and has a variety of moves to get to the rim or pull up for a jumper. Has a tremendous motor and competes every possession.
Kymel Williams Kymel Williams 6'1" | PG Athens Academy | 2024 State GA (Team Dickerson) – He has an innate ability to get downhill with a nice combination of speed and strength with either hand and can assist or score with the best of them. At 6’1″ with very good athleticism, he’s a terrific rebounding guard with a high motor on both ends of the floor. His basketball IQ is extremely high and he is an elite passer. He plays with great pace and controls the tempo throughout the game. He doesn’t panic & plays with tremendous poise.
Victor Newsom Victor Newsom 6'0" | CG Sandy Creek | 2023 State GA (Ga Canes) – Newsom scores at all 3 levels with ease. He has such a smooth jump shot and plays with so much confidence. He handles the ball really well, can change pace and direction quickly to get to his spots and get the shot that he wants. He has a high basketball IQ and uses that to get easy looks for open teammates. Not afraid of the moment, he wants the ball in his hand during clutch time ready to knock down the big shot.
