This group could get the Crusaders down to Sumter in February. Paladugu brings great leadership skills and court awareness to the floor. Wilkins a point guard plays the game at a great pace while Agbomi just hustles for everything in sight. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1490206,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/D5AF88B2-DB5B-4D6A-8B05-20570DB960BF.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/D5AF88B2-DB5B-4D6A-8B05-20570DB960BF-300x225.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-1490206"/></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='865343' first='Keshaun' last='Wright']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1032754' first='Brayden' last='Hendrix']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1183946' first='Jack' last='Green']</strong> will be the guys to watch out for with the Christian Academy of Myrtle Beach Saints this season.
