Every year there are seniors that make that jump with their level of play in a variety of ways that help their team succeed. We will take a look at couple guys who are going to have to play a big role in their teams success.
Jullian, a familiar name in the Charlotte area, has consistently demonstrated his potential over the past few years. This summer, he showcased his versatility on both ends of the court. As a combo guard, he excels in creating plays off the dribble and maneuvering through screens. His penchant for driving to the rim, along with his athletic finesse in traffic, sets him apart. Not only does he excel defensively, but he’s also evolved into a reliable three-point threat. Keep an eye on Jullian as he prepares to take the next step at Hopewell this season, with increased opportunities on the horizon.
Caden is a relentless worker, leaving a strong impression every time he takes the court. His leadership, experience, and versatile skill set make him a valuable asset. With a college-ready physique and athleticism, he excels at positioning himself and facilitating plays for his teammates. Caden also exhibits flashes of defensive prowess and the ability to stretch the floor. His unwavering work ethic promises to benefit whatever program at the next level get him, much like it has in high school. This season, expect to hear and see Caden Bell Caden Bell 6’2″ | CG NC GBBA | 2024 State NC making a significant impact.
Angerrelle Gomes Angerrelle Gomes 6’6″ | SF Southside | 2024 State SC is a defensive stalwart known for igniting energy from the moment he steps onto the court. His vocal presence, agility on defense, and impeccable timing in rim protection make him a standout. While he continues to refine his offensive skills, he already displays the potential to be a catch-and-shoot threat from beyond the arc and a dependable finisher from the dunker spot. As his footwork and basketball IQ continue to evolve, expect his opportunities and impact to grow. Gomes is poised to lead the way on the defensive end.
In my opinion, Kyrell stands out as one of the premier sharpshooters in the state. He excels not only as a catch-and-shoot specialist but also demonstrates the ability to create his own scoring opportunities off the dribble. His proficiency in scoring coming off screens is noteworthy, and he’s steadily evolving as a defender, with the versatility to guard multiple positions on the perimeter. With continued physical development and defensive improvements, this young senior is poised to become a dominant force on both ends of the court and play a pivotal role in Northside Christian’s quest to repeat as State Champions.
After a successful year at Hickory Ridge, Miles is ready for a new challenge at Moravian Prep this upcoming high school season. His size and scoring prowess are likely to attract the attention of more coaches. Miles is a force at both ends of the court and embraces physical play. When he finds his rhythm, he’s nearly unstoppable, adept at reaching his sweet spots and sinking challenging shots. It will be intriguing to see his role at Moravian, but his defensive tenacity and scoring instincts are sure to keep coaches interested in his development.
