Grayson makes your team better with his play all over the floor. He can deliver a big bucket on one end of the floor or come up with a steal or a charge on the other end. Kirk plays the game in a competitive mode at all times. He’s geared to WIN games at all times. Grayson likes the ball in his hands down the stretch and at times to a fault I think he plays a bit to unselfish.
Locklear has a new head coach and a new style of play this coming season. Tre had a spring and summer and came off the board earlier this fall. Locklear will stay local and play at Limestone (SC) (NCAA D2) next fall for Head Coach Kyle Perry. Locklear a left-handed guard thrives in an up-tempo style of play. He’s not afraid at all to sacrifice his body at times on both ends of the floor.
Tooper has been a pleasant surprise since this past spring. Gabriel is a deceptive athlete who can do a little bit of everything – sort of like a Swiss Army Knife. He can handle the rock up the floor in transition, slash to the cup, stop and pop from the perimeter. Gabriel will for sure keep defenders honest with his play. Look for this Yellow Jackets player to have a big season.
Nolan has really gotten off to a fast start for the Crusaders after winning the Impact Sports Invitational to start the season. Paladugu is like having a coach on the floor. Nolan plays the game with good court awareness and savvy. He makes crafty plays for his teammates and himself. He really strives high in the classroom with his academics. Can the Crusaders make a run this season in the SCISA ranks?
Highlights
Kellett isn’t a flashy player at all but he sure is highly effective when he’s on the floor. West brings good versatility when it comes to knocking down shots, rebounding on both ends of the floor and especially outside of his area. Kellet can play multiple positions while defending just as many on the defensive end. West never looks to force his shot and seems to stuff the stat sheet at times on any given game night.
Camara still has his best basketball in front of him down the road. Jeremiah can go to work posting up on the block or working from the high post at times. He has good footwork to get by bigger defenders and understands positions and angles down in the paint. Jeremiah has good explosiveness off the floor to be a quick leaper. Watch out for him down the road and especially this season for the Rams in the Upstate.
