He's a point guard prospect who's shown he can score at a high level in a variety of ways off the bounce and off the catch.

He's quite the underrated and underrecruited name in the state of North Carolina worth a look by DI and DII programs in the region.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2206385' first='Evan' last='Dean'] | Wing/Forward</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dean has really asserted himself on the [program_tooltip program_id='2399240' first='Big' last='Shots Elite NC'] roster as a floor-stretcher with his ability to shoot the ball on the perimeter and attack the basket with his length. He's not the most athletic prospect but he makes up for it with his tenacity and physicality on the hardwood. He's a prospect for DII programs in the region to get eyes on over the next few months. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1361283' first='Declan' last='Brown'] | Guard/Wing</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brown is a versatile prospect with [program_tooltip program_id='2399240' first='Big' last='Shots Elite NC'] who can rebound in bunches and plays with a nose for the ball defensively. He does well cleaning plays up on the boards and plays with energy offsetting their guard attack with his shooting on the perimeter. He had a strong year at AC Reynolds High this past season in producing 16.1 PPG, 7.0 RPG, 2.2 APG and 2.2 SPG as a junior. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2093870' first='Kaelan' last='Gilliland'] | Guard</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gilliland is another guard out of AC Reynolds to keep an eye on with this BSENC group. He's got good size at 6-foot-3 which allows him to defend a few different spots on the floor. He's a consistent rebounding presence as well as another key role player in offsetting things with his ability to shoot the ball and defend. He's a name climbing up the radar in the 2025 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
