He’s an athletic slasher with a high IQ for making plays for himself and others. He’s got nice length and strength already for his size at 6-foot-4. As he learns to make an impact on both ends, he’s a prospect due to break out at Enloe.</p> <h5><strong>#4 [player_tooltip player_id="848065" first="Khalil" last="Marshall"] | 6-1 PG | Word of God</strong></h5> <p>Marshall is an emerging point guard prospect that really gets after it on the defensive end. His biggest asset is his ability to defend the basketball with pressure and force turnovers. On offense, he’s a playmaker first that gets his weapons free on the floor. He had a strong season coming off the bench in 2019-20 and is due to play a big role in 2020-21.</p> <h5><strong>#5 [player_tooltip player_id="577847" first="Nik" last="Graves"] | 6-0 PG | Durham Academy</strong></h5> <p>Graves is another floor general that’s shown flashes of his brilliance on the hardwood.

His presence in the GRACE lineup should change things drastically in their frontcourt. He battled through tendinitis for much of 2019-20 but still averaged 5.1 ppg and 3.1 rpg in the rotation for the Mustangs. As he develops on the interior on both ends, he’s a big man to keep an eye on. </p> <h5><strong>#7 <span class="name-pointer">[player_tooltip player_id="577885" first="Asa" last="White"]</span> | 6-8 F | Garner Magnet</strong></h5> <p>White is an emerging forward prospect that’s shown flashes of what he can do at Garner Magnet.

As he learns to make his presence felt at all times on the floor, he’s a prospect in this class due for a lot of growth.</p> <h5><strong>#8 [player_tooltip player_id="848082" first="Noah" last="Ross"] | 6-4 G | Trinity Christian</strong></h5> <p>Ross is one of the best all-around shooters in the class of 2022. He’s mastered shooting off the catch and off the dribble on all three levels and is a prospect that can fill it up when given room and rhythm. He’s got nice size too at 6-foot-4 which allows him to rise up over smaller defenders for shots. He’ll be one to watch in this class as a break out player.</p> <h5><strong>#9 [player_tooltip player_id="815617" first="Julien" last="King"] | 6-2 G | Broughton</strong></h5> <p>King is a 6-foot-2 combo guard that had a productive season in 2019-20 with Broughton.
