Julen is a Hybrid Forward that has a good handle and can score from all 3 levels of the floor. He has a strong frame with both good feet and hands and will dominate mismatches in High School Ball. Julen had a good summer playing with Team Curry on the UAA Circuit, and recently announced his Top 5: Lehigh, Bradley, American, Vermont, and Boston.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1172558"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Another Upstate Star is featured at the Top of the 2024 Class, [player_tooltip player_id='1172558' first='Justin' last='Ray']. Justin is one of the premier scorers in 4A, and on his night there are few in the Class that can guard him. Ray has good athleticism, a terrific handle, and is very creative at creating space for his jump shot. Justin's talent has a lot of people excited about what Eastside can do this season in 4A. He currently holds offers from USC-Upstate, Western Carolina, Wofford, Queens, East Tennessee State, and the US Naval Academy.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1112902"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Ladontae u0022Boogieu0022 Felton makes the list as the 3rd Top 10 Player in Class 4A. Felton will be in a new uniform this season, making the move to South Aiken this summer. Boogie is a great athlete and has a strong physical frame, but is also a smart player with the ball in his hands. He gets to the rack at ease and can finish with through contact or with either hand. Felton is also an active defender and loves to get out in transition after forcing a turnover.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1156890"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Jamarie had a very productive summer during the Scholastic Period with South Florence and the Grassroots Periods with a few of different teams. He eventually found a home with [program_tooltip program_id='2078752' first='Upward' last='Stars'] Pee Dee, and the fit was great. Brown has one of the longer wingspans of any guard in the state, which is a huge plus on the defensive end. Jamarie is also a more than capable scorer on the offensive end, and a highlight waiting to happen at the rim.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1038227"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"RJ is one of the quickest guards in the entire state. He showcases this in the open court, in the half-court offense, and in on-ball defense. Simmons's speed puts pressure on defense every possession, but when you pair it with his Basketball IQ it makes for a nightmare for the opposition.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1149079"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Lugoff-Elgin's [player_tooltip player_id='1149079' first='Jeremaih' last='McCain'] excels at turning defense into offense.

Lugoff-Elgin could be a dark horse team in Class 4A, so look out for McCain and the Demons in the upcoming season.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1158132"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1158132' first='Jayden' last='Pretty'] rounds out our list of the Class 4A Super 7.

Jayden is very fluid in his movement on the court, and also has sound feet and soft hands. He is also polished on the offensive end facing up or with his back-to-the-basket, and is a great offensive rebounder.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64f09539400ca"} /-->
