Highlights from The Opening
2021 Sutton Smith (Pro One)
This left handed point guard did more than hold his own against some of GA’s best guards throughout his high school career/this summer and he never backs down. Do not let his size fool you, he is one of the toughest guards around and he makes his teammates better with his head always on the swivel looking for the open teammate. He has shot the ball from 3 with a great deal of confidence over the last year. He is a proven winner and that mentality is going to serve him well wherever he ends up playing at the collegiate level.

2022 Mason Lockhart (Derrick Favor Celtics)
Coming off a Sophomore season in which he averaged 19ppg, 12rbs, 2blks in route to being named 1st Team All Region he has been turning a lot of heads this summer. Lockhart is an old school interior player standing at 6’6 who is not afraid to play on the block where he can score with a variety of spin moves or square ups. Lockhart does an outstanding job on the glass and has shown to be productive in catch and shoot situations 10-15ft.
2022 @MasonLockhart8 is an intriguing prospect who did not back down from anyone last weekend. Had the whole gym talking

2021 RJ Noord (Aim High)
A Player that is well known throughout the state of Georgia has continued his rise as the summer has progressed with numerous outstanding outings including a game winning 3 to defeat Team Forest at Lakepoint Hoops Showcase this weekend, Noord is a player that has proved he can play both on or off the ball and make winning plays. With recent offers from North Carolina A&T and Hofstra expect for coaches to keep knocking on Noord’s door (Click Here for More Info on him)
2021 Miles Kelly (ATL Hoops)
After first watching Kell at our #SHReportShowcase last summer we knew he had a chance to be something special, especially on the offensive end of the floor helping him garner All Region Honors last season as a Junior He makes scoring look effortless when he has the ball with a smooth release and great length that helps him shoot over smaller defenders. His most recent offer comes from Mississippi State after a great showing at the Lakepoint Hoops Live Player Showcase to go along with his previous offers from Winthrop and Charleston Southern.
#SHReportShowcase Highlights (June 2019)
2021 Travis “Deuce” Harper II (Team Georgia Magic)
Here is my take from March on Harper:
If there is a player in Georgia that has a chance to blow up this spring it is Deuce Harper out of Columbus. Standing at 6’6 with a great wing span Harper showed huge strides in his game this season being named 1st Team All Region after averaging 17ppg/6.2rpg. Harper has always had the potential and as of late he has really been putting it all together with the aggressiveness we have always wanted him to have each time down the floor. Harper has a smooth release on his jumper and has explosiveness athleticism when he attacks off the dribble. Playing for Head Coach Corry Black we know that Harper will continue to see growth in his game over the next few months and with continued work in the weight room to keep getting his body ready for the bumps he will take at the collegiate level do not be surprised with Division I schools come knocking on his door this summer.
July 2020 Update:
After some outstanding showings at the On The Radar Hoops The Opening and the Lake Point Live Showcase where he averaged 20 ppg & 5.8 rpg this past weekend I expect more schools to come calling for Harper where he will look to his offers he already has in North Carolina A&T, Tennessee State, and Columbus State with recent interest from Mississippi State, Louisiana Monroe, UIC and Ball State.
2022 Joyful Hawkins (Game Elite)
Hawkins was a joy to watch (no pun intended) at The Opening, scoring both inside and out. He did a great job on the glass and played with a great motor and can really do some special things when he is in attack mode from the high post or short corner putting the ball on the floor and uses his length to finish through and around opposing defenders.

2022 Seth Hubbard (Atlanta Celtics)
I broke down Hubbard’s game early in March of this year (Click Here to read) and picked him to be one of this Spring/Summer’s breakout performers and he has not disappointed. Hubbard has been playing with a chip on his shoulder all summer and coaches have taken notice with his most recent offers coming from UAB & Wichita State. An outstanding spot up shooter from 3 who has been shooting the ball extremely well off the dribble from 3 when defenders go under ball screens and in transition to go along with his added driving and mid range element to his game that keeps making him improve each outing.
