Way Too Early Preview: Piedmont Classical Bobcats

<p style="text-align: left;">June has given a glimpse of a few teams in the state of North Carolina. Here’s a way too early look at the Piedmont Classical Bobcats for the 2021-22 season.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="848061" first="Brent" last="Randleman"] - Randleman continues to show his development as he enters his second year in the Piedmont Classical rotation. He’s put good size on his frame and shown a more added burst getting out and making plays on the perimeter and in the paint. He’s an athletic guard prospect that’s flown under the radar due to Covid-19 but as more colleges get eyes on him, he’ll be one that teams won’t think twice about offering.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1225466" first="JD" last="Stanley"] - Stanley is an emerging lead guard at 6-foot-2 set to make waves in the Piedmont Classical backcourt alongside [player_tooltip player_id="838038" first="Brent" last="Randleman"]. He’s got a solid feel for when to create in isolation and when to look to make plays for others with his ability to control the pace and knock down the midrange shot. His shot-making was on display all weekend long as was his athleticism on both ends of the floor. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1110452" first="Khalif" last="Barnes"] - Barnes is physical prospect in the post that’s due to turn heads with his impact on the interior. He’s got nice mobility at 6-foot-9 that he uses well to rebound the basketball and act as a presence around the rim on defense. On offense, he uses his size and frame to play a role in the paint as a back to the basket threat. Look for him to breakout in the rotation given what he can do on the floor. </p> <p><span style="font-size: 1rem; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">[player_tooltip player_id="1110456" first="Julius" last="Harrison"] - Harrison is a versatile prospect at 6-foot-6 that can do multiple things on the floor. He’s got the ability to defend on the perimeter and in the paint using his strong frame and can operate as a stretch-forward and downhill threat on the perimeter on the offensive end of the floor. His energy and motor allow him to play a very physical but active brand of basketball on both ends. </span></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1225467" first="Adam" last="Vincent"] - Vincent is an underrated wing/guard at 6-foot-4 that plays a number of roles in the Bobcats’ rotation. He can get out and finish with authority on the fastbreak, he can knock down shots on the perimeter in the halfcourt and play a role defending the 1-3 positions on the floor. He’s a name that’s flown under the radar, until now.</p>
