<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Harlem<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2120812' first='Lemar' last='Edmond'], [player_tooltip player_id='1300714' first='BJ' last='Reese']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harlem should improve on a 12-10 record behind their dynamic senior backcourt. Both [player_tooltip player_id='2120812' first='Lemar' last='Edmond'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1300714' first='BJ' last='Reese'] have impressive size and athleticism on the perimeter.

Reese averaged 13.3 points, 9 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.8 steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Putnam County<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1861275' first='Landon' last='Bonner'], Jaylin Harper</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eren Banks' graduation and [player_tooltip player_id='1861301' first='Cameron' last='Stephen']'s transfer leaves shots to be had. [player_tooltip player_id='1861275' first='Landon' last='Bonner'] filled it up a season ago averaging 19.4 points 5.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 2.1 steals per game. Harper could see a major uptick in production after posting 4.3 points per game as a sophomore.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Thomson<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1235068' first='Jahkiaus' last='Jones'], [player_tooltip player_id='2046333' first='DaQuan' last='Young'], Tyrickus Jones</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The loss of [player_tooltip player_id='1146472' first='Lavonta' last='Ivery'] to Augusta Christian is a huge blow, but Thomson still has speed and football toughness on the roster. [player_tooltip player_id='1235068' first='Jahkiaus' last='Jones'] is a bowling ball of a guard with a great burst downhill. He's an aggressive defender that scores in transition consistently. Young has breakout potential. The long and athletic wing scores from multiple levels. Tyrickus is another speedy guard that fills up the box score.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Evans<br>Taj Ford, Emmanuel Mullings, Boston Boinski-Dowd</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Although none of the three earned All-Region accolades a season ago, the Evans backcourt is sneaky good. Ford, a 6-foot-3 guard, had a strong offseason on the travel circuit. Mullings stood out at GBCA, an active wing that guards multiple spots. Boston is a steady ball handler with a pass-first mentality.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
