<p><strong>RYZE Live Showcase III: Backcourt Standouts Pt. 1</strong></p>
<p><strong>2023 6-1 G Kyan Bullock – ENG United – North Paulding<br />
</strong>Bullock will make an immediate impact at North Paulding, transferring in from North Cobb. He’s a good-looking athlete with quality size from the guard position. He pushes the ball well in transition, able to finish at the rim or with a floater. Bullock has three-point range and will be a very important on-ball defender.</p>
<p><strong>2023 6-3 G [player_tooltip player_id="1300689" first="Austin" last="Wilkerson"] – ENG United – Unity Christian<br />
</strong>Hidden in GAPPS, Wilkerson is bright talent that more should know about. Austin averaged 21.6 points per game at Unity Christian. He’s got a quick release on his jump shot and scores off the dribble. He can finish with either hand and has three-point range on his pull-up. He could be a good fit in the NCCAA.</p>
<p><strong>2022 6-4 G [player_tooltip player_id="1139776" first="Caleb" last="Smith"] – AC Georgia Select – Douglass<br />
</strong>Heading to Combine Academy, [player_tooltip player_id="1139776" first="Caleb" last="Smith"] definitely passes the eye test. He’s a big strong guard with a college-ready body. When he drives to the hoop, he uses his wide shoulders to carve out space and finish through contact. Smith is a solid rebounder and has the size to become an impactful defender.</p>
<p><strong>2025 5-7 PG [player_tooltip player_id="1438508" first="Elijah" last="Mincey"] – Savannah Elite – Bryan County<br />
</strong>I got my first look at the electric scorer in an 86-16 demolition. Mincey has quality quickness and likes to get to the rim. He’s an aggressive on-ball defender that will convert live ball turnovers into transition points.</p>
<p><strong>2025 5-10 G Jaelen Cheaves – Savannah Elite – Campbell<br />
</strong>Cheaves is a very good floor spacer. He’s a dangerous three-point shooter that can pour in points in bunches. He sank 5 threes and netted 19 points against BBA. Jaelen can help a varsity program with his shot making.</p>
<p><strong>2025 5-5 PG Kadin Davis – Savannah Elite – Johnson-Savannah<br />
</strong>The little lefty continues the trend of tough Johnson-Savannah playmakers. Davis is crafty at slipping his way into the paint. He has a hesitation dribble between his legs which freezes defenders and allows him to dart in different directions. Kadin sees the floor well and can play at multiple speeds.</p>
