NTBA State Tourney: 2023-2024 Top Performers

<p>The NTBA State Tourney is in the books from this weekend at the Myrtle Beach Sports Center. Prep Hoops took in a few days of action from here on the Grand Strand. Lets take a look at some of the 2023-2024 Top Performers right here on your source for basketball coverage in the Palmetto State. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="865343" first="Keshaun" last="Wright"] (2023) - Andrews HS - Saints (pictured on front)</strong></p> <p>Wright brought great activity to the floor today with his play. Wright continued to slash to the rack with good body control all day long. Wright works really hard away from the ball and was able to finish at the rim quite regularly. Keshaun connected on some perimeter jumpers to keep defenders honest with his play. Wright scored 17 points in the opening game Prep Hoops watched him play. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/91D68A56-9E7B-4E74-8457-3A8EF94DCD67.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1184808" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/91D68A56-9E7B-4E74-8457-3A8EF94DCD67-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="922024" first="Emekah" last="Johnson"] (2023) - Florence Christian - Upward Stars Pee Dee </strong></p> <p>Johnson works from side to side in the paint at a high rate. Johnson keeps the ball up high when he rebounds and runs the floor very well. Johnson has no problems defending bigger post players in the paint. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/6EB870AA-E90B-4B42-A240-7C1314E0847E.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1184810" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/6EB870AA-E90B-4B42-A240-7C1314E0847E-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1016450" first="Jasaan" last="Faulkner"] (2024) - St James HS (Murrells Inlet) - Horry Select </strong></p> <p>Faulkner saw good minutes this past year as a freshman for the Sharks on the varsity level. Faulkner never left the floor in the few games Prep Hoops were able to see him play. Faulkner really likes to use the bounce pass when trying to find a teammate on the floor. Faulkner can play multiple speeds but seems most seems most comfortable walking the ball up the floor. Faulkner needs to improve on his perimeter shooting moving forward. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/239796CF-DF30-41FF-870B-3E2617A8CC72.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1184809" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/239796CF-DF30-41FF-870B-3E2617A8CC72-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1184789" first="Moe" last="Davis"] (2024) - Carolina Forest HS - Horry Select </strong></p> <p>Davis brings all-out hustle to the floor when attacking the basket. Davis can get to the cup with 2-3 dribbles and finish with his left-hand quite easily. Davis has really good length and hits the glass on both ends of the floor. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
