Fletcher also knows how to control the game at his own pace and can shoot the ball at a high percentage. He also knows how to handle defenses when they put pressure on him. Excellent passer and facilitator, as well as playing with an unselfish attitude.

Key Newcomer: Shiva Atwal 6-5 CG (2026)
Atwal, a 6-5 combo guard is one of the most pure left-handed shooters you will find in the upcoming freshman class. Atwal also adds great ball-handling skills which he has maintained since his middle school days. He will be exciting to watch as he develops as a high school prospect for a young and retooled Windermere Prep squad this upcoming season.
Key Newcomer: Chandler Watts Chandler Watts 6’4″ | CG Combine Academy | 2024 State NC 6-4 CG (2024)
The 6-4 combo guard has great size, length and athleticism who draws a lot of fouls and can get to the free throw line at a consistent rate. Not only can Watts finish at the rim, but he has consistently worked on expanding his range. Watts currently holds offers from Dartmouth, FIU and Stetson University. Watts transferred to Windermere Prep from Montverde Academy during the offseason.
