. These five young men have been playing it seems every weekend since the Grassroots season started in March. Plenty of recruitable players here on the Raptors.
Fountain Inn Kings Duo:

and
Nykel Franklin
Nykel
Franklin
6'3" | SF
Wade Hampton | 2023
State
SC
both were leading their respective team this past weekend in Rock Hill. Chavis is a long and rangy forward who seems to block anything around the cup. He runs the floor fine and can step-out at times to keep defenders honest with a short jump shot. Lee-Carter will look to entertain junior college options for next fall.
Franklin is a left-handed wing player who plays his best basketball going to the cup in attack mode. Nykel is a streaky shooter and seems to be most effective from 15 feet in. He looks to play aggressive all game long while staying active on both ends of the floor.
Some Other Notables Still Looking:
Vincent Alexander
Vincent
Alexander
6'1" | SF
Clover | 2023
State
SC
attends Clover HS in the Upstate. Alexander had his Team Hustle in the win column a couple times on Friday night. Alexander has a good build to him and really likes to compete on both ends of the floor with his competitive attitude.
TJ Hardy
TJ
Hardy
6'0" | CG
Bull City Prep | 2023
State
NC
played at Bull City Prep (NC) this past year after attending North Meck in the past. Hardy was suited up for the Mint Hill Lakers here at the Phenom Grassroots TOC this weekend. TJ is a thick guard who likes to get downhill with the ball in his hands. Hardy who has a football body really likes to use the crossover move to race by defenders.
Zion McDuffie
Zion
McDuffie
6'4" | SF
Butler | 2023
State
NC
is suiting up for Team Charlotte UAA 17U as an unsigned senior. McDuffie just finished his career at Butler HS. Zion is athletic young man with a very good motor to get things done. He really looks to excel in the open court at the wing position. McDuffie plays very good in the passing lanes while picking up several deflections along the way.
