He’s strong and athletic and uses it on both ends very well, he thrives in transition and when he can get downhill and he has a good skill set including the ability to shoot it and rebound on both ends. #24 [player_tooltip player_id="815602" first="Piercen" last="Young"] | 6’3” | VES (#59 Overall) <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/Young-Piercen-.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1018988" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/Young-Piercen--300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a> Young has dealt with some injuries as of late, but when I’ve watched him in the past he’s a guy who can do a little bit of everything and just has a great understanding of the game. At 6’3” he’s a good athlete and he really competes on both ends, he can play on or off the basketball and makes the right reads and plays and he can fill it up in multiple ways. #23 [player_tooltip player_id="815596" first="Deshawn" last="Goodwyn"] | 6’4” | George Wythe (#55 Overall) Goodwyn is one of the most lethal shooters in the state, as the George Wythe wing hit more three-pointers than anyone in his first two years of high school basketball. He’s long and knows how to his length defensively, he has in the gym range when he’s set and he’s very confident in his ability to shoot it from deep. #22 [player_tooltip player_id="1107838" first="Chris" last="Brown"] | 6’3” | Peninsula Catholic (#52 Overall) <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/11/Brown-Chris.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1091299" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/11/Brown-Chris-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a> Brown is one of the most talented wings in the 757, as he has a mix of athleticism, skill set and a fearless attitude that makes him able to impact the game in a number of ways. He can play on and off the basketball and score it from multiple levels, he is a versatile defender on the ball and can come help side and challenge at the rim and he is steadily improving every time I watch him. #21 [player_tooltip player_id="1107833" first="Georges" last="Archer"] | 6’5” | Princess Anne (#51 Overall) Archer has steadily improved and become one of the best players in the 757, as the 6’5” wing is an athletic freak that has grown to 6’5” and improved his offensive skill set. He’s become a go-to guy that can stick it from deep when he’s left open, attack downhill and in transition and finish well above the rim and he can guard multiple positions as well. #20 [player_tooltip player_id="798701" first="Jaeden" last="Freeman"] | 6’3” | Nansemond-Suffolk (#50 Overall) Freeman has dealt with some injury issues over his career, but the two sport athlete is still one of the most consistent two way impact guys in the 757. He can lock up the other team’s best player, he has great instincts and feel on both ends of the floor and he’s an excellent catch-and-shoot guy that is very consistent from behind the arc. #19 [player_tooltip player_id="962796" first="Nate" last="Pabis"] | 6’5” | Flint Hill (#42 Overall) <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/02/Pabis-Nate-Head-Shot.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1125456" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/02/Pabis-Nate-Head-Shot-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a> Pabis is one of NOVA’s most underrated players, as the 6’5” wing has improved his body and become a well rounded offensive weapon that’s had a great spring. With his good size and improved athleticism he’s ready to run off of screens and get open, he’s an excellent shooter with a quick release and he is an underrated defender as well. #18 [player_tooltip player_id="962787" first="Kendon" last="Peebles"] | 6’5” | Catholic (#38 Overall) Peebles is an intriguing prospect with his mix of strength and athleticism, and the fact that he plays so hard makes him very impactful in a number of ways. He competes on both ends and brings it every time he’s on the floor, he hustles and makes the dirty plays that help his team win and he’s got a good skill set that includes the ability to handle in transition and finish through traffic at the rim. #17 [player_tooltip player_id="815597" first="Brycen" last="Blaine"] | 6’3” | LC Bird (#37 Overall) <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/11/Blaine-Brycen-CBG.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1082840" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/11/Blaine-Brycen-CBG-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a> Blaine recently picked up his first offer from NC A&T and has been playing extremely well the past month including a good showing in the NC Live Period with LC Bird. The 6’3” wing has turned himself into more of a combo guard with his ability to handle and create for himself and others, he has improved as a shot maker from multiple levels and he can #16 [player_tooltip player_id="1107829" first="Tazir" last="Smith"] | 6’3” | VA Academy (#35 Overall) Smith is another underrated prospect in the NOVA area, as the 6’3” wing has a great skill set to go along with good athleticism and size on the perimeter. He can play and guard multiple positions, he can make plays for others and himself and he plays with a good motor and toughness as well.
