#1 Po’Boigh King Po’Boigh King 6'4" | CG Word of God | 2022 State NC | 6’4 G/W | Word of God
King is an impressive backcourt piece at Word of God Christian Academy that can fill it up from deep. He had a number of games where he knocked down over 5+ 3-pointers, including in The Grind Session where he went 8-of-10 from deep to the tune of 35 points. He’s not shy about putting the ball on the floor on getting to the rim, either. He’s got a strong frame that allows him to snag rebounds and make plays as well. He holds offers from Ole Miss and Arizona State.
#2 Khalil Marshall Khalil Marshall 6'1" | PG Lake Norman Christian | 2022 State NC | 6’1 PG | Word of God
Marshall is another prospect at Word of God Christian Academy due to make a name for himself in the backcourt as their floor general. He’s a quick ballhandler that can to the paint and make things happen by controlling the pace and knocking down shots. His biggest asset is his defensive presence where he can guard the full 94-feet. As his offensive game picks up in 2020-21, he’ll be due for more attention from college coaches.
#3 Noah Ross Noah Ross 6'6" | SG Trinity Academy (Raleigh) | 2022 State NC | 6’4 SG | Trinity Academy
Ross is a sharpshooting guard with nice size on the wing at 6-foot-4. He’s got the ability to knock it down off the catch and off the dribble from the perimeter with efficiency. He put up 16.5 ppg and 4.6 rpg while shooting 36 percent from the arc in 2019-20. As he gets stronger over his career, he’ll be due to show the area how he operates. He holds an offer from Eastern Kentucky.
#4 Julien King Julien King 6'3" | CG GRACE Christian | 2023 State NC | 6’3 G | Broughton
King was a key piece in the rotation for the Pirates, though they had a young squad in 2019-20. He took home the team’s Offensive Player of the Year award after showing off his ability to operate on all three levels as a sophomore. He’s got a nice blend of playmaking and scoring that makes him a lethal up-and-coming threat in the Raleigh-Durham area.
#5 Silas Demary Jr Silas Demary Jr 6'4" | CG Combine Academy | 2023 State #114 Nation NC 6’3 G| Millbrook
Demary is a 6-foot-3 combo guard that can get to the rim and make plays for others in the backcourt. He played sparingly in the Millbrook rotation in 2019-20 but with some senior departures in their backcourt he’s due for a bigger role entering his junior year. He’ll be a two-way threat to keep an eye on in the area.
