Grassroots Hidden Gems: 2021
Austin Anderson
<p>Part two of the Grassroots Hidden Gems is focused on the 2021 class. This is a big year for the class. This spring and summer, you will see players start to separate themselves from the rest of the pack. Again, we are focusing on hidden gems of the class that are ready to breakout.</p>
<p><strong>Zeke Spann (Bessemer City)-</strong> This kid is a long armed, bouncy, and athletic 6'8 forward. Offensively, he needs to improve his ball skill and decision making, but he does things out on the court others simply can not do. </p>
<p><strong>Brandon Howard (Alabama Celtics)- </strong>Howard has ideal size at the wing and is a lights out shooter. He is a guy that you cannot give space. Once he catches fire, it is hard to put out. Biggest thing moving forward is becoming a consistent 3 level scorer.</p>
<p><strong>Lane McCay (Nike Elite Stars)- </strong>This kid can shoot and does it at a very high rate. He is a very smart player. He understands reads and McCay is strong with the ball. The more he plays, the better he is going to be. </p>
<p><strong>Bryan Bennett (Alabama Celtics)- </strong>This kid is long and athletic. By now, everyone has seen his wing drive and dunk. This kid gets after it on both ends. Bennett is a very good shot blocker. At 6'4 with his athleticism, he can become a very special two way player. </p>
<p><strong>Brad Lewis (Team Carroll)- </strong>Two words for you: athletic freak. This kid is a high flyer. Very active defender and rebounder. Good size at 6'4. Lewis is the type of kid you want on your team. He locks up and is looking to attack in transition. </p>
