The 6'3 combo guard and Jacksonville Basketball commit is an athletic prospect with a good pull-up game combined with high-quality body control when pushing the floor to finish fast break layups consistently. Brown was a playmaker for the Bolles School last season, averaging <strong>19.9 points per game, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.8 steals. </strong><em>*He's since made a move to Beachside High. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Film: </em></strong><a href="https://x.com/pro16league/status/1642557908604059650?s=46&amp;t=E0s2L9z46AqxWmKm25SmTQ"><strong><em>https://x.com/pro16league/status/1642557908604059650?s=46&amp;t=E0s2L9z46AqxWmKm25SmTQ</em></strong></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"17px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:17px"><strong><em>Tayshuan Gilchrist | G | Class of 2024 | Escambia | TayshaunG1</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gilchrist is also one of the top guard prospects in the North Florida region. He led Escambia in scoring with<strong> 17.8 points per game last season with 3.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists </strong>to add. The 6'1 rising senior has good vision to get teammates involved but no doubt he's a pure scorer that can shoot the rock or get his at the rim with either hand. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Film: <a href="https://x.com/panhandlep1/status/1681724708792745991?s=46&amp;t=E0s2L9z46AqxWmKm25SmTQ">https://x.com/panhandlep1/status/1681724708792745991?s=46&amp;t=E0s2L9z46AqxWmKm25SmTQ</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"17px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:17px"><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1859307' first='Albert' last='McKinnie'] | PF | Class of 2024 | Bay | @Albert_Mckinnie</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2022 stats:</strong> <em>8.5 ppg, 6.0 rebounds, 1.1 blocks</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McKinnie is an underrated forward prospect with a good motor to run the floor and stay active on the boards. He's a potential double-double machine for the upcoming season while providing solid rim protection on the defensive side.
