Diggy will get plenty of playing time as a freshman. He’s been regarded as one of the best 2026 guards in Georgia. Redding plays with pace and has good IQ for his age. He does a nice job knowing when to score and when to distribute.
Ritger has intriguing size and mobility on the perimeter at 6-foot-6. He’s an effective rebounder that can guard multiple spots. Ritger is able to start fastbreaks and make plays off the dribble. He has the athleticism to finish above the rim. Ben has a ton of tools to work with and could be an X-Factor this upcoming season after averaging just 3.3 points per game in 9 contests last year.
Brendan can play either forward position. He’s got a high skill level on offense, able to shoot the three, attack off the dribble and score with his back to the basket. He has patient footwork in the pivot. His length makes him a good shot blocker.
Gaines will assume full-time point guard duties. He plays with confidence and has provided a spark offensively off the bench in the past. Gaines has a soft floater in the lane and can help space the floor with his outside shot while providing playmaking with his vision.
Demory can be used in a variety of ways. He’s a smooth explosive athlete that can guard any position. Offensively he’s good in the high post, but has shown the ability to hit the open three and beat his man off the dribble. His rebounding will pay dividends this year.
