No. 1 – It was a monster breakout season for 2024 Peyton Marshall Peyton Marshall 7’0″ | C Overtime Elite | 2024 State GA . With his size and overpowering strength, Marshall dominated the paint both offensively and defensively. His drop step dislodges anyone who tries to stand in his way. Marshall has improved his agility and is able to finish nearly everything around the rim with a dunk. Peyton is a game-changer on defense that clogs the lane and protects the rim. Marshall feels like the high school version of Shaq.
No. 2 – Arrinten is another post that exploded this season. He’s every bit of 6-foot-9 and has great coordination and mobility. Page thrives as a rim runner, sprinting to catch alley oops. Page has springy legs and times his jumps well to swat away shots and to get on the glass. Arrinten has nice footwork on the low block, equipped with a pretty jump hook that is hard to defend. Page has expanding value with how well he shoots the open three. Arrinten has major tools to work with. He has gobbled up multiple High Major offers.
No. 3 – Caleb Wilson Caleb Wilson 6’10” | PF Holy Innocents | 2025 State #3 Nation GA is the number one ranked high schooler in Georgia’s 2025 class outside of Bryson Tiller Bryson Tiller 6’9″ | PF Overtime Elite | 2025 State #19 Nation GA who recently signed with the OTE League. The spindly do-everything forward averaged 16.2 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.4 blocks as a freshman. Wilson is comfortable on the perimeter as both a playmaker and scorer. He can get his shot off the dribble and has upside as a three-point shooter. By the time he is a senior, Wilson could become one of the nation’s top prospects.
No. 4 – Belmont is getting one of the most offensively polished big men in the state of Georgia. Rogers is a skilled scorer that attacks in a variety of ways. He has different moves with his back to the basket and can finish through contact. Rogers stretches out the defense with his jump shot and is a good passer from the high post. Brigham has gotten stronger each and every season. With his mobility and body control, he could see minutes early in his collegiate career.
Highlights
No. 5 – Though Calhoun is likely a stretch to be considered Metro Atlanta, Dylan Faulkner Dylan Faulkner 6’8″ | PF Calhoun | 2023 State GA must be recognized. The high jumping specialist will bring his springs to Lipscomb in a year. Faulkner has been one of the more intriguing prospects over the course of his career. He’s grown roughly four inches from his freshman year and still has some guard-like skills under his belt. Faulkner has upside as a stretch-forward with his three-point shot. He’s been an above average shot blocker each and every season. This past year he averaged 21.4 points, 12.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 3.7 blocks.
