He averaged 7.7 ppg last season. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1931197' first='Josh' last='Gamble']</strong> a sophomore averaged 16.8 ppg last season over at West Florence HS.

Leonard who has been on the varsity for the Tigers since the 8th grade averaged 13.9 ppg, 9.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists last season. Josh has an unreal skill set and motor on the floor. He can defend and play multiple positions on both ends of the court. The scary thing is he hasn't even scratched the surface with his overall potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2055831,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/eZy-Watermark_04-07-2023_10-15-20-7180PM.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/eZy-Watermark_04-07-2023_10-15-20-7180PM.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2055831" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1425907' first='Elijah' last='Smith']</strong> is back in the post as an unsigned senior this fall.

Bruce seems to be settled in here for the Tigers and looking to run the show from out top this season. Khristian is looking to have a breakout season this year and has all the potential to do just that when focused. He averaged 6 ppg last season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2456065,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/eZy-Watermark_05-06-2024_07-54-26-3730PM.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/eZy-Watermark_05-06-2024_07-54-26-3730PM.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2456065" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Youngsters <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2373169' first='JaBron' last='McFadden']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2456043' first='Isaiah' last='Addison']</strong> will look to contribute to the roster this season. This duo played really well this past summer on the Grassroots Circuit with Palmetto Pride. McFadden will provide some muscle down low in the paint while Addison will play his game out on the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
