Zaharee Maddox Zaharee Maddox 6'0" | PG Davie County | 2022 State NC – Point Guard
Maddox is a guard that truly understands his role in the rotation as a floor general, no matter the situation. He put up 14.0 ppg, 5.3 apg and 4.9 rpg for Davie County in 2019-20 as a sophomore and was due to have a strong grassroots campaign with Team Felton. He’s got a winner’s mentality and it shows as he holds offers from High Point, Penn State and DePaul already.
Nathan Brafford Nathan Brafford 6'8" | PF Rabun Gap | 2022 State NC – Forward
Brafford led the state of North Carolina in scoring during the 2019-20 season with 33.9 ppg while also putting up 7.6 rpg, 2.0 bpg and 2.0 apg for Tuscola. He was set to appear on Team Curry’s squad after putting up impressive numbers and a few 50-point games at the high school level. He holds an offer from North Florida and was set to make a whole lot more noise on the recruiting trail with his skill set.
James Wilkins III James Wilkins III 6'1" | PG Asheville School | 2022 State NC – Guard
Wilkins is a shifty guard with a high IQ for making plays for himself and others. He showed off that ability at Calvary Day School this season, surpassing the 1,000-point mark and earning All-Conference honors. He’s a high-level distributor and scorer that was set to do work for Team Felton this Spring.
Donovan Atwell Donovan Atwell 6'5" | SG Providence Day | 2022 State NC – Guard
Atwell was set to join Team CP3 this Spring after quite a productive tear with Lake Norman Charter in 2019-20. He posted 30 points on six made 3’s in a victory over Lincolnton in their conference tournament and showed off his three-level scoring ability all-season long at 6-foot-5. He averaged 18.0 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 2.3 apg and 1.5 spg this past season. He’s a prospect that was due to turn heads on the EYBL circuit.
Patrick Wessler Patrick Wessler 7'0" | C Combine Academy | 2022 State #217 Nation NC – Forward
Wessler is a big man prospect at 6-foot-11 with a nice all-around feel for the game already. He’s got solid instincts in the paint on both ends and has a nice stroke on his shot from the perimeter. In the pick-and-roll, he’s patient as the roller, looking to create space to operate for both himself and the ballhandler in the process. He was due to make waves with Carolina Courts Elite.
