Jordan Presley 6’5 SF/SG 2023 Hokes Bluff
Presley is a sharpshooting wing that spaces the floor at a high level. His ability to knock down shots off the catch makes him one of the better shooters in the state. With elite shooting and size, Presley can hit contested shots at a consistent rate. This allows him to take help-side defenders out of the play and open up lanes for his teammates. Though he primarily operates as a stationary shooter, Presley can also get to his shot off the dribble when needed and is effective when he can get a rhythm. Presley also uses his size well and is a solid rebounder for his position.
Jordyn Turner-Durley Jordyn Turner-Durley 6'3" | CG Florence | 2023 State AL 6’3 PG/SG 2023 Florence
Durley is a smooth guard with nuance to his game. Shows an ability to break down defenders off the dribble with a deceptively quick first step, crafty handle, and change of speed dribble. He also shows versatility around the basket when finishing off bumps, hop gathers, floaters, and euros. Though he can knock down shots from deep, he has elite touch in the midrange with one of the better two-dribble pull-ups in the state. Durley is a certified shot creator who can be a catalyst of an offense.

Jose Gonzalez 6’4 SG/SF 2023 Thompson
Gonzalez is a prospect that has a broad skillset and shows promise in many aspects of his game. At 6’4, he can play 1-3 due to his guard skills. Demonstrates an ability to lead the break, make the right decision, drive and kick to open shooters, and create for others as a secondary ball-handler. Though he’s comfortable on the perimeter, he shows an ability to create out of the post and can expose smaller defenders. As Gonzalez heads into his final season, seeing how his game comes together will be interesting.
Julius Clark Julius Clark 6'5" | PF Mountain Brook | 2023 State AL 6’6 PF/SF 2023 Mountain Brook
Clark is arguably the best post scorer the state has to offer, which says a lot considering he played out of position due to a lack of size on his team. Good things tend to happen when operating with his back to the basket. He uses his sturdy frame to gain favorable position and power through contact at the rim when working in the post. He also displays solid footwork when using up and under, facing up slower defenders, and utilizing drop steps/spins. Though he’s a dominant scorer, Clark can also beat you out of the post as a playmaker. He has great accuracy and timing when finding cutters, passing out of double teams, and kicking the ball out when the defense helps on his drives. As a high IQ player, Clark always tends to create quality shots, making him a valuable offensive weapon. This, in addition to his ability to offensive rebound, makes him a top-tier prospect in the state.

Kamari Hollis Kamari Hollis 5'11" | PG Pelham | 2023 State AL 6’1 PG/ SG 2023 Pelham
Hollis is an athletics 2-way guard that plays with pace, toughness, and tenacity. His quick first step and excellent straight-line speed enable him to get to the basket frequently. In addition, he operates well as a slasher with his ability to finish at the rim or make plays for others when breaking down the defense. Shows a decent shot in catch and shoots situations as well. Defensively, Hollis is an active point-of-attack defender that can harass ball handlers into bad decisions. Hollis is also an elite help defender who can rack up steals and blocks when rotating and playing a roamer role on defense.
