{11} Carrington Allen Carrington Allen 6'3" | SG Oakland | 2022 State TN , Oakland (2022)
Solid athlete. Most nights Carrington leads the Patriots in scoring. Allen showcases nice raw speed and an ability to score in traffic. His outside shooting needs to improve. Allen is a fantastic late-game scorer. He brightens up during the bright-light moments.

{12} Isaiah Divens, Rockvale (2023)
Divens is merely a sophomore, but Rockvale greatly benefits from his guard play. Wonderful late-game player.
{13} TJ Lee, Smyrna (2023)
At this stage of his career, Lee ranks among the best free throw shooters in the state. Lee hits nearly 90% of his lane lofts. Strengths of Lee’s game are body control, patience, shooting touch. For Smyrna to improve as a program it will key for Lee to sharpen his handle to an elite level. Already Lee dribbles with an uncommon swagger. This can happen for his skill foundation is strong. Lee uses his body very well, especially his shoulder even though he does not have the prototypical lead guard upper body just yet. When he adds “good weight” there will be even more oomph behind his shrug-offs. Averages 10.0 ppg. Lee isn’t there yet, but has more potential than the three guys above him.
{14} Darius Lee, Stewarts Creek (2022)
Thin. Lee’s grace enables him to escape traps and probe into the lane, as the junior plays with dancer’s feet. Euro-steps, stutter-steps. Lee uses several sneaky steps. Tricky player. Elegant dribbler and finisher.
{15} Seed Coleman, Riverdale (2022)
A starter, Seed is a great glue-guy. There is a little bit of everything in his game, as Coleman can shoot, run the floor, handle. Damon Fann Damon Fann 6'2" | SG Riverdale | 2022 State TN is the alpha dog, but Coleman finds his spots and makes an impact. Ideal complimentary scorer. Low maintenance. No ego. Efficient.
