The 336’s Top Area Sophomores This Season

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With many sophomores, it's interesting to see whether they can make the sophomore jump, or fall into a sophomore slump. In the Greensboro/Triad area, we've seen plenty of guys accomplish the former, and make big leaps to where they should be legitimate college prospects to monitor. Read below for five guys who have made waves as 2026s in the Triad metro area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2055662"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Jones has really come into an elite scoring role this season for the Dudley Panthers, knocking down shots all over the floor and cementing himself as an elite shooter in his class. He's made 42/103 shots from deep so far on the season, and averages 20.1 PPG for his group. The Panthers are off to a hot 8-1 start in conference play, and Jones being a big shotmaker and taker for them all season has helped them get there.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1716474"],"_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":"Neal is an electrifying playmaker and scorer who continues to tear up opponents with his insane athleticism and vision. His numbers are down to ONLY 20 PPG and 10 APG this season with the addition of Johnnyius Sharpe who takes up more room in the offense, but its easy to see Neal growing as a basketball player. He continues to make good reads and also approaching the game with more and more composure, running the show and hitting singles instead of home runs when it's appropriate.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2843411' first='Fisher' last='Leftwich']","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"North Surry","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Leftwich is becoming an important piece to North Surry under new management after many of their seniors graduated last year. He is averaging 14.6 PPG, 5.5 RPG and 3.6 APG as a well-rounded backcourt player. He is the definition of consistency, always scoring within a few points of his average every night. You're not expecting a takeover performance from the kid, but know he'll always be in the mix with some timely buckets, hustle plays, and good offensive actions.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1694957"],"_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":"Cassada is part of the 1,000 point club as only a sophomore, and the 6'3 point guard is on track to be a star player when all is said and done. He's upped his stats to 16 PPG and 5.1 APG this season, and continues to shoot the lights out from downtown. He's a capable scorer at multiple levels due to his 6'3 frame that has plenty of size to go with it, as well as high IQ shot selection to go with it. He also continues to run the Calvary Day offense efficiently, and know when he needs to either score or find others.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1990408"],"_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":"Calvert has becoming the leading scorer for his Calvary Day group, and while his teammate Cassada can knock down shots, Calvert is the go-to guy when it comes to late game execution or when they need an individual bucket. He's a refined scorer who can knock down the mid-range, attack the hole or hit a three, as his 49 made ones on the year show. He's a huge improver from last year as he averages 17 PPG so far, over double what he put up last year.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65bbef0215511"} /-->
