<p><strong>2021 6-0 PG [player_tooltip player_id="1130513" first="Tyquan" last="Davis"] – Georgia Suns – Dublin</strong></p> <p>Coming off an All-State season at Dublin after moving in from West Laurens, [player_tooltip player_id="1130513" first="Tyquan" last="Davis"] provided energy and toughness in the Georgia Suns’ 66-63 win over GA Fire Elite. Davis is a sharp guard that gets downhill. He can shovel assists into tight spaces. Davis stuffed the stat sheet with 12 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.</p> <p><strong>2024 5-11 PG Antonio Scott – Georgia Suns – Telfair County</strong></p> <p>The freshman got hot, dumping in 14 of his team-high 19 points to lead the Suns. Scott has a knack for scoring. He fills it up at multiple levels. Scott nailed 3 threes and was able to get into the paint and finish with floaters.</p> <p><strong>2022 6-2 G Jordan Fordyce – GA Fire Elite – Eagle’s Landing</strong></p> <p>After a 15-point second half helped propel Eagle’s Landing to their first state title since 2013, Jordan Fordyce kept the momentum going with a big weekend at Suwanee. Fordyce is a strong athlete. He can get to the rim and elevate for highlight finishes. What stood out the most this weekend was Fordyce’s outside shot. He sank 3 threes on Friday and piled in 23 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. If he continues to develop, the threesome of [player_tooltip player_id="598781" first="David" last="Thomas"], [player_tooltip player_id="1043319" first="AJ" last="Barnes"] and Jordan Fordyce could have the Eagles in line for a repeat.</p> <p><strong>2022 6-7 F [player_tooltip player_id="1130592" first="Yannis" last="Woods"] – GA Fire Elite – Jonesboro</strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1130592" first="Yannis" last="Woods"] is starting to gain traction among college coaches. His length and mobility are intriguing. He is wire thin and must get stronger, but Woods competes at a high level on the backboard. He uses his length and bounce to crash the offensive glass. He recorded 11 points, 17 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks vs. the Suns, scoring three baskets on putbacks and even knocking down a three. Woods could be a sneaky good sleeper heading into his senior season.</p> <p><strong>2022 6-1 W Lamar Haynes – Smyrna Stars – Clarke Central</strong></p> <p>Listed at 6-foot-1, Lamar Haynes plays bigger than his size. He’s an aggressive and athletic rebounder that doesn’t really have a true position. He can play 2-4 depending on the lineup and can make an impact with his hustle. He produced 13 points and 10 rebounds in a win over the Georgia Bisons.</p> <p><strong>2023 6-3 G Kyle Jones Jr. – B.A.N.G. UP – Langston Hughes</strong></p> <p>It was tough sledding against Game Elite but Kyle Jones was able to break free a few times and keep the score respectable. Jones had to pull out his full arsenal to score against the powerhouse program. Jones created off the dribble and was able to free himself for perimeter jumpers. When he did get inside, he was able to draw fouls and get to the free throw line. Jones finished with 15 points and 4 rebounds.</p> <p><strong>2023 6-4 G [player_tooltip player_id="1049219" first="London" last="Johnson"] – Game Elite 3ssb – Norcross</strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1049219" first="London" last="Johnson"] made a positive impression with his two-way versatility. Johnson took the assignment of defending Kyle Jones and harassed him the entire game. Johnson moves well laterally and can stay in front of his man. On offense, Johnson was aggressive getting to the basket. Once he got his feet in the paint he often made the right reads. His playmaking was on display as Johnson ended the night with 14 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 1 block.</p>
