2024 Caden Goins-Central Gwinnett

Left-handed wing/forward who excels on the defensive end especially as a help side defender blocking numerous shots on the day.  Jumper looks smooth and consistent in skill stations.  Really excels at finishing in transition.  Has shown in numerous occasions his ability to play out of the mid post with his square up and turnaround jumper.

2024 Jaden Baskin-Winder Barrow

Really good frame. Blocked and altered shots all day on the defensive end.  High motor that keeps him active on the offensive glass for put backs. Was one of the most productive players continually beating his defenders up the floor for easy buckets. Showed ability to put it on the floor from the high post and attack the basket effectively.

2024 Julian Finch-Mill Creek

Gets downhill especially in transition. Has great instincts on the defensive end especially in transition where he blocked multiple shots. You can see how hard he has worked to improve since attendig our last camp he attended in the summer. Shot it very well in skills stations and in games. Should be a breakout senior year for him at Mill Creek.

2025 Marcus Smith-Walnut Grove

Great North to South speed in transition. Effortlessly blows by his defenders in the half court, doesn’t waste dribbles use his first step to get his hip by his defender and into the paint. Explosive off 2 feet or 1 foot once he gets in the lane and can finish through contact.  Unselfish when the ball is in his hands who creates for his teammates, does a really good job finding cutting teammates.  Has really shown improvement in his outside jumper over the last year and makes defenders pay if the attempt to go under ball screens which makes him even more potent on the offensive end of the floor.
