1K Club – Celebrating the Newest 1,000 Point Scorers Pt. 5

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's only normal to see many eclipse the one thousand point threshold over their high school careers, and we've had plenty of guys achieving that this season. With it being such an achievement to accomplish, we decided to take a look at some of the newest members of the club this year. Check out some more guys who have etched their names into the history books in the recent weeks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Missing a name? More articles will be coming in order to celebrate everyone, but DM me at v_taylor3 on Twitter to nominate an athlete to recognize!</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1892438' first='Jackson' last='Fannon'] </h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fannon is a sharpshooter who eclipsed the millennium mark this February for East Lincoln HS. Averaging 21.6 PPG on the season as a whole, he's made over 100 threes at a 44% clip, showcasing why with his size as well, he could be a D1 prospect. His performance with the Atlanta Timberwolves this summer will be key.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1385670' first='Chris' last='Crudup']</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Unsigned senior [player_tooltip player_id='1385670' first='Chris' last='Crudup'] continues to be a scoring threat for Southern Wake Academy after being an impact contributor at Garner, and in his fourth year cross the 1K mark. He's a combo guard that would be a great addition to programs across the region with his scoring and playmaking ability.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1086990' first='Alex' last='Rechetnikov'] </h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rechetnikov and Crudup both hit the mark, as the sharpshooting combo guard also reached the mark in his senior year. He gets most of his points from beyond the arc, where he can shoot it with volume and precision. He's a priority pickup for college coaches needing shooting.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1365466' first='Andrew' last='Grimes'] </h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Grimes, the Liberty commit, has hit the 1K plateau in his junior year with Clayton as they continue to look to make a run in the 4A state playoffs. His interior presence is hard for teams to deal with, with the combination of great touch offensively as well as some serious size and physicality.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1076353' first='Dylan' last='Deluca']</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Deluca provides plenty of valuable contributions to the stat sheet, but has crossed the 1,000 point mark in seasons with Metrolina Christian and United Faith Christian. He's got great positional size on the wing, with an ability to score it pretty well at all three levels of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1716474' first='Dionte' last='Neal']</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Neal is absurd in the fact that he's a 1,000 point scorer in only two seasons. He's been averaging over 20 PPG in each season he's played, and his ability to knife to the cup, shoot perimeter jumpers, and then keep defenses honest by flinging passes is unbelievable. A top football and basketball prospect in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1204485' first='Drew' last='Pittman']</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pittman has been a successful four year player at Hunt HS in Wilson, scoring between 12 and 15 points a game every year in his high school career. The sturdy forward is able to make plays at the rim and at the low block, using his size to overpower people. Going to be a key factor in their potential state playoff run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2279853' first='Robert' last='Magner']</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Magner is a forward deserving of much more attention across the state, and he hit the one thousand mark with Pine Lake Prep earlier this month. His size on the wing makes him a legitimate college scholarship prospect, as well as his ability to hit difficult shots at all levels of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
