The 6-foot-5 guard can play every position on the court and do so at a high level. [player_tooltip player_id='2125526' first='Derrick' last='Shine'] was a Second Team All-Region pick, a rising junior who has a strong reputation in the CSRA. Two additions bolster Cross Creek in [player_tooltip player_id='2875384' first='Ian' last='Leverette'] (10.7 ppg, 6 rpg – Grovetown) and multi-time state champion [player_tooltip player_id='2372176' first='Dontrell' last='Jackson'] from Westside-Augusta, the lockdown defender coming off his best scoring season at 19.4 points per game to pair with 5.9 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 3.3 steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Harlem</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2436946' first='AJ' last='Williams'] has firmly established himself not only as one of the very best guards in Georgia, but a top point guard in the southeast. Williams returned from injury late in the season and managed to lift the Bulldogs to the postseason, averaging 19.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2 steals per game. Power 5 offers have started pouring in for the high IQ playmaker. &nbsp;[player_tooltip player_id='2412819' first='Ty' last='Shine'] moved in from Augusta Christian to serve as a primary running mate. Shine has drawn offers from D-I programs upon averaging 17.2 points per game outside of the GHSA. The tandem is in line to be one of the toughest twosomes in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cherokee Bluff</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cherokee Bluff might not have the star power that those listed above have, but they have exceptional high school basketball players which still project out to play at the next level. [player_tooltip player_id='1543523' first='Cooper' last='Glover'] holds D-III offers, a hard-playing big guard that is tough in the paint as a rebounder, slasher and can score from deep. [player_tooltip player_id='2306875' first='Luke' last='Nordholz'] moves in from Gainesville after an influx of transfers stampeded in. He is a valuable asset with experience. Speaking of move-ins, [player_tooltip player_id='2634996' first='Jordan' last='Hayes'] should now be eligible after having to sit out last season upon moving over from Flowery Branch. He is an athletic scorer from the gridiron.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Douglass</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2691503' first='Malachi' last='Edgell'] is a burgeoning prospect starting to draw major attention. At close to 6-foot-6, he is a unique playmaker that averaged 11.2 points, 10.9 rebounds and 3 blocks, able to play 1-4. Edgell is drawing D-I interest. Alongside him is [player_tooltip player_id='2211076' first='Brandon' last='Battle'], an experienced off-guard that averaged 10.3 points per game. JoJo Foster is a promising junior who could see an uptick in his production (5.2 ppg). Promise Palmer is picking up steam heading into his junior season as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://poll.fm/16064328","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"crowdsignal","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-crowdsignal wp-block-embed-crowdsignal"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://poll.fm/16064328 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
