#460 Carter Brown Carter Brown 6'1" | SF Andrew Jackson Academy | 2025 State SC (Andrew Jackson) – Carter Brown Carter Brown 6'1" | SF Andrew Jackson Academy | 2025 State SC is an undersized big man, but I was impressed by him at the Prep Hoops SC Top 250 Expo. He plays bigger than his size due to his strength. Carter is difficult to back down in the paint and very sound at boxing out.
#508 Harrison Skinner Harrison Skinner 5'10" | CG Hilton Head Christian | 2026 State SC (Hilton Head Christian) – Skinner is another player from Team 14 who stood out. He was one of the better shooters in the event and was terrific in his off-ball movement. Harrison also has some potential as a playmaker and will be a fun prospect to watch mature.
#736 Marcus Simmons Marcus Simmons 6'1" | SF North Charleston | 2025 State SC (North Charleston HS) – Marcus had some nice flashes on the defensive end in his hometown of North Charleston. Simmons has a good frame and strong hands. He frequently “picked the pocket” when in help defense and turned it into transition buckets.
#770 Landon Wilson Landon Wilson 5'10" | SG Trinity Collegiate | 2025 State SC (Trinity Collegiate) – Landon is a very quick and creative guard. He often beat defenders off the dribble and showed an ability to kick to an open teammate or finish around bigger bodies at the basket.
#790 Houston Long Houston Long 6'2" | SF Hillcrest | 2025 State SC (Hillcrest HS) – Houston was the “hustle play” guy for Team 14. He is a good rebounder and a terrific cutter which earned him some easy buckets. He is also a solid perimeter shooter.
#799 Gavin Ward Gavin Ward 6'4" | SG James Island | 2025 State SC (James Island HS) – Gavin Ward Gavin Ward 6'4" | SG James Island | 2025 State SC had some very strong performances at the Prep Hoops SC Top 250 Expo. He is a strong scorer with a killer crossover that is also capable of making plays for teammates. Although he is better from the perimeter off the catch, he was still extremely effficent on Sunday.
#808 Tahj Lathon Tahj Lathon 6'5" | SF Marion | 2025 State SC (Marion HS) – At 6’5″ Tahj has good raw size and athleticisim. He has the height to see over defenders and made some really good passes from the top of the key and on the block.
#842 Michael Mallory Michael Mallory 5'9" | PG High Point Academy | 2024 State SC (High Point Academy) – Mallory is a quick and shifty guard from Team 14. He made some nice plays in the open floor where he could burst past defenders.
