Continue ReadingOne of the most dangerous types of players in the game of basketball are talented wings. These players can do a multitude of things, including playing multiple positions. In this article, several unsigned wings from the 757 area who can help teams next season will be discussed.
Eric Henderson- 6’7/Atlantic Shores. Eric Henderson has the ideal size for the wing position at any level of basketball. What is even more scary is that based on his frame, Henderson is likely still growing. Even if he doesn’t, Henderson possesses the height matched with insane wingspan that allows him to be a threat on either end of the court. Henderson has shown that he is comfortable guarding any position on the court, and he crashes the boards hard, routinely coming up with double doubles throughout the season. In the postseason, Henderson will have the chance to show off some play making skills and shooting to give colleges a better idea of his overall game and his potential to grow.
Chaunce Jenkins– 6’4/Menchville. Chaunce Jenkins has been a dynamite player this entire season, playing his way to the player of the year honors for his district. What makes Jenkins such a fascinating prospect is his wild athleticism. Using his quickness and bounce, Jenkins is a constant threat to rise up on anyone who is crazy enough to challenge him at the rim. On top of his highlight reel style, Jenkins also has a decent jumper and handles. Colleges should look at the potential of this bouncy wing, as he very well could change a program around for the better.
Karl Chavis Jr- 6’6/Oscar Smith. Karl Chavis Jr has cemented himself as one of the hardest players to guard in the 757. He can post you up, back you down and use his deadly combination of length and bounce to finish. He can catch the ball at the free throw line, take one or two dribbles and finish with either ferocity or finesse. He can get out on the perimeter and either pull up for the jumper or glide his way to the basket. On top of this offensive potential, Chavis is everywhere on defense. He uses his athletic gifts to switch out on guards and pick their pockets, swat their shots into the stands or disrupt bigs with his length. Chavis remains unsigned and will be an ideal pickup for any school that needs an athletic wing that came come in and make a difference on day one.

Misha Zurabashvili- 6’6/Catholic High. The scariest part of this young mans game is while he is a high school senior, he both plays and carries himself like a college senior. Composed and confident, Misha combines fundamentals with steadiness to take over games. Possessing an amazing outside shooting touch, Misha takes advantage of this and uses the threat of his three ball to get by defenders who are up in the air trying to block a potential shot. Misha also has a solid frame that will only build on even more muscle once he gets in college. With the grades to go anywhere as well as his knock down jumper, Misha will remain a hot pickup at the wing for any school in need of a big shooter next season.
