T is a left-handed forward who plays his best basketball around the bucket. Riley averaged a double-double this past season for the Indians on the hardwood. He excels on the gridiron as a Wide Receiver and on the baseball diamond. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Riley who played for Team United on the Grassroots Circuit a few summers back didn't play any ball this spring. T is a gifted athlete and down the road will make a decision wish way to go for college. The good thing is that decision doesn't need to be made anytime soon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1982206,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/9F2B7A24-B40C-43E9-B625-2B6686995C09.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/9F2B7A24-B40C-43E9-B625-2B6686995C09.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1982206" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1766180' first='Kevin' last='Dukes']</strong> - Riverpointe Christian Academy (North Charleston)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dukes has an old-man guy you would find in the professor's game at the local college on Friday's at noon. Kevin a Stall HS transfer averaged 18.8 ppg and 6.9 rebounds last season for the Warriors as a freshman. Dukes reminds me of Wayman Tisdale (former Oklahoma player many moons ago.) He really likes to use his body and absorb contact down in the paint. Kevin looks to beat up defenders at times on his way to the rack. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dukes is very crafty to when it comes to scoring the ball. He can pile up points in a hurry with his effectiveness around the cup. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1982204,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/379CD455-B3C2-48C1-A656-8C1256226855.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/379CD455-B3C2-48C1-A656-8C1256226855.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1982204" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1669895' first='Jonathan' last='Slawson'] </strong>- Pinewood Prep (Summerville)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Slawson is a good table setter for the Panthers while playing out top from the lead guard. Jonathan does a good job of making his teammates happy with his crafty passing skills at times and setting them up nicely. He really looks to bring ball pressure at times while on the defensive end of the floor. Jonathan plays the game with a competitive edge. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1983534,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/F4A2B16E-D42D-4D7B-BF60-A2AC08D42AC4.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/F4A2B16E-D42D-4D7B-BF60-A2AC08D42AC4.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1983534" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1806905' first='Cordell' last='Sims']</strong> - Ragin Prep Christian Academy (Sumter) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sims will look to get the ball downhill to the cup for the Rams. Cordell a left-handed guard rebounds the ball very nicely from his position. Sims plays very active in the passing lanes and will pick up several deflections along the way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
