<p>The Greensboro area is budding with some young talent, especially in the 2023 class. Here's a look at the Top 10 overall 2023 prospects as the City Rankings series continues.</p> <h5><strong>#1 [player_tooltip player_id="577888" first="Jaydon" last="Young"] | 6’3 G/F | Greensboro Day School</strong></h5> <p>Young is due for a strong  He’ll be due for a break out 2020-21 campaign after playing behind [player_tooltip player_id="833057" first="Cam" last="Hayes"] and [player_tooltip player_id="533509" first="Carson" last="McCorkle"] in the backcourt and learning how to make an impact. He’s got tremendous upside as a scoring and defensive threat. He’ll be a strong 1-2 combination alongside [player_tooltip player_id="574410" first="Brock" last="Williams"].</p> <h5><strong>#2 [player_tooltip player_id="951363" first="Jahreece" last="Lynch"] | 6’1 G | North Surry</strong></h5> <p>Lynch was a surprise performer this season in the rotation for North Surry as they squeaked into this year’s 2A State Playoffs, losing in the first round. He was a force to be reckoned producing 15.9 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 3.1 spg and 2.0 apg for the Greyhounds in 2019-20 and will be one to watch for the next few seasons in the Greensboro area.</p> <h5><strong>#3 [player_tooltip player_id="854916" first="Dice" last="Royster"] | 6’4 G/F | Wesleyan Christian</strong></h5> <p>Royster is an emerging wing prospect at 6-foot-4 that’s coming into his own. He was a solid reserve for Wesleyan Christian, extending the floor with his 3-point shooting and playmaking ability on the perimeter. He’s a rising prospect to watch in the Greensboro area that can play the guard and forward spot.  </p> <h5><strong>#4 [player_tooltip player_id="949393" first="Will" last="Gray"] | 6’2 G | Forsyth Country Day</strong></h5> <p>Gray is a guard that knows a thing or two about setting a tone with his energy. He’s an athletic and quick guard that can run the point and play without the ball. He produced 14.6 ppg, 4.3 apg, 4.0 spg and 3.2 rpg in 2019-20 for Forsyth Country Day School. He looks to create easy layup opportunities off of steals on defense and makes the game easy on the offensive end. </p> <h5><strong>#5 [player_tooltip player_id="854890" first="Kobe" last="George"] | 6’3 G | Ben L. Smith</strong></h5> <p>George was a solid reserve in the Ben L. Smith lineup in 2019-20 and with the departure of most of their starting five, he’ll be looked upon to step up during his sophomore season. He’s a known name already on the grassroots circuit with Team Felton and has a ton of athleticism in his wheelhouse to display. Look for him to be a leader for the Golden Eagles in 2020-21.</p> <h5><strong>#6 [player_tooltip player_id="982144" first="J3" last="Swindell"] | 6’3 G/F  | Westchester Country Day</strong></h5> <p>Swindell is an emerging forward prospect that can play multiple positions on the floor. He was an NCISAA All-State selection after the Wildcats made it to the third round of the 2A State Playoffs. He can rebound it down low then look to run the fastbreak and make a play on the opposite end. He'll be a young prospect to track early on in the Greensboro area.</p> <h5><strong>#7 [player_tooltip player_id="982145" first="Lewis" last="Walker"] | 6’4 F | North Forsyth</strong></h5> <p>Walker is another versatile prospect to know in the Greensboro area. He averaged 12.3 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 1.3 apg and 1.3 spg in his first varsity season for North Fosyth. He really came into his own down the stretch of the season with a number of 20+ performances during a key winning streak for the Vikings. He'll be one to track for the next few seasons with his ability to score with efficiency around the rim and rebound.</p> <h5><strong>#8 [player_tooltip player_id="982146" first="Aries" last="Hull"] | 6’8 F | Winston-Salem Christian</strong></h5> <p>Hull is an import to the area from Chicago so with good reason, he’s ranked a bit low, for now. He’ll be a new face at Winston-Salem Christian in 2020-21 in the frontcourt. He can play the forward spot in the low post or the center position and has a knack for rebounding the ball in bunches and protecting the rim. He holds an early offer from Detroit-Mercy as well. </p> <h5><strong>#9 [player_tooltip player_id="854910" first="Draven" last="Pilson"] | 6’8 F | Forsyth Country Day</strong></h5> <p>Pilson is a forward that's coming along at Forsyth Country Day. He's a prospect that looks to get involved early in the offense with his ability to run the pick-and-roll and extend the floor with his shooting. He's got nice length already at 6-foot-8 that he utilizes well to finish above the rim. As he gets stronger, his development should grow as well.</p> <h5><strong>#10 [player_tooltip player_id="982147" first="JJ" last="Moore"] | 5’7 PG | Huss</strong></h5> <p>Moore isn't the biggest floor general, listed at just 5-foot-7, but he makes up for it with his play. He averaged 9.1 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 2.8 spg and 2.5 apg on an experienced squad in 2019-20. He played a pivotal role in their run in the state playoffs. In their win over Ben L. Smith in the state playoffs, he put up 14 points, four assists, three rebounds and three steals as they advanced to the West Region 3A Finals. He's a breakout candidate to watch in the area in this class.</p>
