With the ability to stretch the floor and rebound, it seems as if Adams has shown that his productivity defensively is where he alters the game. He is averaging four blocks a game and is almost grabbing two steals a game as well. He totaled 71 blocks, after only ten in his sophomore year. He has 37 so far this year and is hoping to break his own personal record. A player that is starting to gain some attention and should help the Yellow Jackets as the season progresses.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2280601' first='Tosh' last='Alberga'](Independence) 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A high-motor wing with exceptional defensive instincts. He knows to use his size and impressive wingspan to alter shots if he cannot block them all. He is very mobile and can play above the rim. He is averaging 2.5 blocks a game and a steal and a half. He is a high-level rebounder for his position.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1154633' first='Chase' last='Daniel'](Central Cabarrus) 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One half of the twin duo, Daniel plays with a high motor and quick hands. Averaging four a year Daniel has been effective on both ends of the court. A stat sheet stuffer that has garnered attention for his hustle and his ability to exert himself into the passing lanes with precision.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1059721' first='Ollie' last='Alford'](West Charlotte) 2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alford has built on the State championship win last season with his most impressive campaign yet so far in his high school career for the Lions. A player that can score when his team needs him and he is someone that takes pride in guarding the best player on the court on the opposing team. Averaging three steals and a block so far this season. Scoring at a higher clip than any other year in the past.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
