He knocked down 35 3-pointers in 2023-24 as well. He's due to produce a whole lot more with more young weapons around him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1974219"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66fdf34297371"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Motta moves into the 23rd spot and eighth-ranked combo guard in the latest rankings update for the 2027 class. He averaged 8.0 points per game and knocked down 21 3-pointers for the Overhills Jaguars in his varsity debut in 2023-24. He was a standout at this year's Expo: Carolinas as he showcased an ability to attack off the bounce as well as shoot the ball with consistency. He's set to have another strong showing on the varsity scene with Overhills High in 2024-25.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2415282"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66fdf342973e3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Conti is a sizeable name to get to know in the 2027 class as he moves into the 33rd spot in the latest rankings and the third-ranked center, though he can operate at the power forward/stretch-forward spot. The 6-foot-8 big man had a productive spring/summer with [program_tooltip program_id='2078500' first='Garner' last='Road'] in showcasing his inside-out skillset on the 3SSB stage. Now, he looks ready to be a featured name in the Millbrook frontcourt/perimeter attack heading into his sophomore year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2415811"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66fdf3429746d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Terry moves into the 35th spot overall and 16th ranked combo guard in a talent-filled 2027 North Carolina class. The 6-foot-4 swingman produced 8.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.4 steals and 2.3 assists per contest in his varsity debut with the South Granville Vikings. He racked up 66 steals as a stalwart on the defensive end this past season.

He's a developing forward prospect who's shown he can operate inside and out with his length at 6-foot-8. Old Dominion has offered him in the early going, look for that list to grow. His opportunities should be plentiful this season in the Wesleyan Christian Academy rotation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
