He can shoot off the pick and roll, on the catch, and off the dribble. Shot 37% of 27 3pm and averaged 6.9 PPG last season for a 26-2 team. Look for him to make a big leap as he takes on a more significant role with seven seniors leaving.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">47. [player_tooltip player_id='2091765' first='Caleb' last='Greene'] / 6'2” Wing / South Caldwell</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2085301,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_8680.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_8680.jpeg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-2085301" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He has a defensive approach to the game with his ability to guard all positions on the floor. His tendency to create steals and read passing lanes is remarkable. He also has a strong frame and attacks the lane with ease.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">48. [player_tooltip player_id='2091763' first='Dillon' last='Galloway'] / 6'4” Forward / Brevard</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He brings a nice presence to a team with his interior defense and ability to protect the paint. He averaged 6.7 PPG, 6.0 RPG, &amp; 0.5 BPG last season. He is also very versatile on the defensive end to step out and guard smaller guards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">49. Jack Burk / 6'3” Wing / Owen</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2085302,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_8760.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_8760.jpeg?w=1023" alt="" class="wp-image-2085302" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Is a long, athletic wing that can shoot the ball in various ways. He impressed me in team camp with his shot-creating abilities. They didn't have the best season as a sophomore, but is looking to have a breakout year as the lead man next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">50.

Take an approach to the game with hustle and determination to win. Has great footwork and acrobatic finishes at the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
