He's a name to get to know out of Charlotte Catholic after averaging 6.3 PPG, 3.9 RPG and 2.1 APG on 40 percent shooting from the floor. He's already shown that his perimeter shooting is improving going forward.

He's a prospect out of Durham School for the Arts who put up 14.7 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 3.0 APG and 2.3 SPG as a sophomore in 2023-24. He's shown he's ready to lead [program_tooltip program_id='2225832' first='Team' last='Curry'] East Jackson backcourt on the independent grassroots scene.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2415032"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":2415039,"_player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Ford is an intriguing shooting guard prospect in the 2025 class out of Reagan who turned heads this past weekend. He took home MVP honors in the 17U Platinum Division while leading NC Rise Pittman to a championship. He's a prospect who's fearless shooting the ball on the perimeter and scoring off the bounce as he did in averaging 23.0 PPG in leading his backcourt. He's a prospect for DII programs in the region to get eyes on.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2415027"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":2415041,"_player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"McDonald is another 2026 prospect who's put himself on the PH radar over the past few months with [program_tooltip program_id='2225832' first='Team' last='Curry'] East. He's an athletic slashing presence who's learning how to impact the game in a variety of ways. When he's locked in, he's shown he can attack the basket and finish around the rim with ease.
