<p><strong>No. 31 || 6-3 SG [player_tooltip player_id="952590" first="AJ" last="Flagg"] – ELCA<br /> <em>Up from No. 61</em></strong></p> <p>Ajai Flagg has the prototype body for a guard. He’s big, strong and athletic. He has a quick burst to the rim and can finish with power. Flagg has a solid all-around floor game and helps on the glass and can make plays defensively, getting deflections and blocking shots. His playmaking and outside shot have improved.</p> <p><strong>No. 32 || 6-6 F [player_tooltip player_id="1011352" first="Aidan" last="Hadaway"] – LaFayette<br /> <em>Up from No. 44</em></strong></p> <p>Likely the best motor in Georgia, [player_tooltip player_id="1011352" first="Aidan" last="Hadaway"] has risen up the rankings thanks to his effort and consistency. He’s a double-double machine and attacks rebounds with his springy lift. The lefty is an inside-out threat and is quick enough to beat his man off the dribble. His three-point shot is getting better.</p> <p><strong>No. 35 || 6-3 SG [player_tooltip player_id="1049115" first="Asher" last="Woods"] – Parkview<br /> <em>Up from No. 51</em></strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1049115" first="Asher" last="Woods"] is a smooth scorer that can put in points from all three levels. He can play either on or off the ball. He knows how to work angles when getting to the hoop and can finish through contact. Woods can be a streaky outside shooter, but when his shot is dropping, it opens up more driving lanes where he can choose to score or distribute.</p> <p><strong>No. 38 || 6-0 CG [player_tooltip player_id="1049117" first="JaQuez" last="Thornton"] – Drew Charter<br /> <em>Up from No. 106</em></strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1049117" first="JaQuez" last="Thornton"] skyrockets 68 spots and he’s not done yet. He’s turning into an elite guard that will be a point guard full-time at the next level. He has great court vision and is a blur when getting to the basket. He routinely beats his man off the dribble and finishes with either hand at the rim. The southpaw is a knockdown outside shooter and a fierce competitor. Thornton can lock up on defense and has active hands that frustrate opposing ball handlers. He looks like a D-I prospect that will only continue to get better.</p> <p><strong>No. 41 || 6-6 W [player_tooltip player_id="870159" first="Oscar" last="Lynch"] – Pinecrest Academy<br /> <em>Up from No. 59</em></strong></p> <p>Posting 20.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 3.1 steals and 1.4 blocks, [player_tooltip player_id="870159" first="Oscar" last="Lynch"] dominated Class A-Private scoring in a variety of ways. He knocked down 23 threes and went 93-140 from the line. Lynch uses his size to score both inside and out. As a playmaker, he can see over top the defense and deliver assists to open teammates. His wingspan makes him a tough defender that can guard 1-5 at the high school level.</p>
