In the June live periods, Thacker let us know that he's not slowing down. When he gets hot, there's not telling how many will go through and we've seen him pour in 30 and 40+ on multiple occasions. Be on the lookout for Thacker and Providence Christian come February as 2A seems to be wide open this year.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1062217"],"_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":"While North Cobb Christian graduated most of the key guys from last year's 21-win team, [player_tooltip player_id='1062217' first='Gabe' last='Bolden'] returns and takes the reigns. Bolden excels on both ends of the floor. He's rangy three-point shooter that can heat up quickly, also a nice burst off the dribble that allows him to get to the cup. Playing against some of the country's best competition this spring and summer was beneficial for Bolden as he enters his senior year with more confidence and a killer mindset.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1383020"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1383020' first='Chane' last='Bynum'] could likely be one of the most impactful transfers in the state this year, moving from Washington to KIPP Atlanta. At 6'9, Bynum is a natural wing that can handle the rock and shoot the three-ball at a high clip. We've seen all the tools necessary for him to become a star and he'll only progress upwards as he adds muscle to the wiry frame. Bynum will have the opportunity to flousrish as the centerpiece at KIPP and carry the scoring load as a junior. A handful of D1s have already offered Bynum including Xavier, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest and others.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1696253"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1696253' first='Moustapha' last='Diop'] was a difference maker as soon as he stepped onto the court for Walker as a freshman  and now looks ready to dominate after adding to and polishing the offensive skillset. At 6'10, Diop is a powerful finisher at the rim and he's recently been showing us the ability to attack from the perimeter. He's a shot-blocking machine on the defensive end and controls the boards when he's in the game. Diop can be a high-major, top 50 prospect when it's all said and done, his sophomore year is an important stepping stone.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1378137"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1378137' first='Jeremias' last='Heard'] has been a popular name on the PrepHoops site for years and he earns preseason all-state honors after leading Model to the Final 4 as a junior. Heard is a dominant paint presence, 6'9 and loaded with brute strength. He's got great hands and feet, also a soft touch over the shoulder and he's far more skilled than most guys his size. Heard will be headed to play SEC football for Tennessee next year but he could have certainly chosen a path in basketball if desired.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6539cc9a62129"} /-->
