Look at the names of eastern Tennessee players who were added in this update:
-
Lucas Garman

TN
| PF | Maryville
NBA Stylistic Comparison: 2021 Nuggets DeMarcus Cousins.
Garman stands all of 6-foot-6 and impressed with his shooting touch out to approximately 15′. His base was solid on each jump shot. He did not get much lift, but with his height, that might play fine for years.
Ideally,
Lucas Garman

will improve rebounding outside of his area. With strong arms and hands, Garman does fine rebounding balls above his head, but a good rebounder hunts down loose balls not quite assured. He could pad his stats with this addition to his game.
He will surely find himself free after he screens high or simply steps away to 8-10′. Making these consistently, which Garman showed Sunday that he can absolutely do, will make his value to any evaluating college program strong.

Braden Buchanan
Braden
Buchanan
6'2" | SG
Bearden | 2024
State
TN
| SG | Bearden
Braden, at a minimum, will defend any of three positions effectively at the high school level. He projects as an NAIA player, capable of scoring in a variety of ways or contributing those vital effort plays without prodding.
-
Caleb Asbaty
Caleb
Asbaty
6'3" | PG
Knoxville Catholic | 2024
State
TN
| SG | Knoxville Catholic
Asbaty made quick trip to Tennessee Wesleyan as September opened. His length at the wing spot is ideal. Improving his strength methodically. The handle and shooting touch was always there. Nice upside player in a program loaded with talent and size.

Parker Robison

Robison
5'11" | PG
McCallie | 2024
State
TN
| PG | McCallie
Parker performed pretty well against the best in the state at BCAT 100 in Lebanon late June. Robison's key attribute is shooting with handling trailing not too far behind. The worry will always be, 'Is he big enough to defend the powerful lead guard?' Robison looked to be gutsy and unafraid of a physical challenge at that event.

Charlie McHugh

| SG | Dobyns-Bennett
State Champion.
- Aryone Thomas Aryone Thomas 6'5" | SF Cleveland | 2024 TN | SF | Cleveland
A bit raw, Aryone begins his career with Cleveland High this fall. He transferred from Hamilton Heights Christian Academy (HHCA). He might become a 2023 at some point, but the Blue Raiders are ready to win now and Thomas will be important to that push.
- Colten McClain Colten McClain 6'1" | PG Cherokee | 2024 State TN | PG | Cherokee
Chiefs sophomore point guard Colton McLain was recognized for his play when he was named this was Named second team All Twin Lakes Conference (District 2-3A).
