Norman a good size guard is very productive off the bench as a 6th man for the Warriors. Norman averaged 13.2 ppg this season for the Warriors. Norman plays Quarterback and Free Safety in the fall for the football team. Norman is a deceptive athlete and plays very active in the passing lanes. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/06/B5FA650D-379E-4DDC-B6B9-43E64F4DCFCA.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1005342" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/06/B5FA650D-379E-4DDC-B6B9-43E64F4DCFCA-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="976908" first="Kendall" last="Chakeris"] - Palmetto Christian (Mount Pleasant) </strong></p> <p>Chakeris brings a lunch pale to work and a blue collar attitude. Chakeris is not flashy at all down low in the post but he’s effective at times. Chakeris is a bull in a china shop while on the floor. Chakeris averaged 15.8 ppg this season for the Eagles. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="927568" first="Travis" last="Merritts Jr"]- King’s Academy (Florence)  (pictured on the front) </strong></p> <p>Merritts Jr makes the offense go the Lions. Merritts Jr a left-handed guard has a knack to score the ball. Merritts Jr averaged 19.8 ppg last season for the Lions. Merritts Jr must get stronger at times to battle through contact. Merritts Jr likes the ball in his hands and has the ability to set up his teammates on the floor. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/06/67819238-C0A8-4189-B29A-7A8DBE9A143B.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1005340" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/06/67819238-C0A8-4189-B29A-7A8DBE9A143B-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="927551" first="Caleb" last="Smith"] - Oakbrook Prep (Spartanburg) </strong></p> <p>Smith really likes to work for position in the paint. Smith has a slender frame to him but isn’t afraid to draw contact down low in the post. Smith 6’7 must add weight down the road. Smith averaged 15.6 ppg, 8 rebounds and 2.6 blocks this past season for the Knights (14-14). </p> <p><strong>JP Duke - Spartanburg Christian </strong></p> <p>Duke came on strong down the stretch for the Warriors this season. Duke 6’4 averaged 7.3 ppg before Christmas and after 10.1 ppg this season. Duke was the piece to the puzzle that helped the Warriors win a SCISA State Class 2A State Championship this past season. </p>
