Emerging Prospects: Juniors Pt. 2

<p><strong>Emerging Prospects: Juniors</strong></p> <p>These juniors have led their teams to hot starts.</p> <p><strong>6-2 G [player_tooltip player_id="870163" first="Domonik" last="Henderson"] – Monroe</strong></p> <p>One of South Georgia’s brightest gems, [player_tooltip player_id="870163" first="Domonik" last="Henderson"] is a two-way standout with his cat-quick reflexes and his high motor. Henderson can be an elite on-ball defender with his length and ability to cut off driving lines. His active hands earn steals and deflections. On offense Henderson uses his athleticism to slash to the basket. He’s got a steady outside shot that is still developing.  He’s averaging 18.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.1 steals.</p> <p><strong>6-7 W [player_tooltip player_id="677695" first="Josh" last="Reed"] – Pace Academy</strong></p> <p>After a big offseason, [player_tooltip player_id="677695" first="Josh" last="Reed"] has carried his momentum into this high school season and has made Pace Academy that much tougher. Reed is second in scoring, pouring in 17.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2 steals and 1.1 blocks per game. He’s a long wing that scores in a variety of ways. He is a good floor spacer (12-29; 41%) when stepping out to the three-point line and also has the toughness to score around the rim. His mobility and wingspan help him defend every position on the floor.</p> <p><strong>5-10 PG [player_tooltip player_id="1020682" first="AJ" last="Williams"] – Southeast Bulloch</strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1020682" first="AJ" last="Williams"] is a confident guard that has the ball on a string. He can manipulate defenses with his probing attack and can turn the corner in the blink of an eye. He’s an equal threat to score it himself or facilitate to open shooters. When he gets inside, Williams often draws fouls.  Improving his accuracy from beyond the arc will open up even more driving lanes. Williams is the engine that makes the Yellowjackets go. He’s tallying 17 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game.</p> <p><strong>6-1 PG [player_tooltip player_id="1050042" first="Kyle" last="Keener"] – Sequoyah</strong></p> <p>Playing alongside [player_tooltip player_id="870202" first="Dylan" last="Wolle"] in the backcourt, the dynamic duo may be the best shooting tandem in the state. Keener is a pass-first guard that often looks to set up the offense and get his teammates involved, but when he has a clean look from three, he will fire away. He is 29-69 from deep, good for a blistering 42%. Keener is averaging 13.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.1 steals. His addition to the roster has helped the Chiefs remain dangerously efficient on offense.</p> <p><strong>6-7 F Yannis Woods – Jonesboro</strong></p> <p>Off to a 9-0 start, the 6-foot-7 Woods has been a major factor in the paint. Long and athletic, Woods can attack on straight line drives. He gets the vast majority of his points in the paint and is shooting 54%. Woods is posting 12.4 points and 12.1 rebounds per game. Schools looking for a projectable forward may want to start tracking his progress.</p> <p><strong>6-2 G [player_tooltip player_id="870161" first="Anthony" last="Arrington"] – Galloway</strong></p> <p>A household name by now, [player_tooltip player_id="870161" first="Anthony" last="Arrington"] has been warming up with D-I schools. The star guard is averaging 26.8 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.8 steals. He’s got a mature game equipped with a lethal jumper. Arrington gets to his spots exceptionally well and can pull-up on a dime from the mid-range. As a three-point shooter, he can stretch the floor hitting 16-33 (48%) to open the season.  Arrington is more than just a marksman. He’s got the toughness to both finish hard drives and battle on the glass, playing larger than his size. Arrington might not be as big or as freakish athletic as some others in his class, but there aren’t many guards as polished as he is.</p>
