Ian Thomson Ian Thomson 6'10" | PF Southside Christian | 2021 State SC – Southside Christian – Upward Stars Upstate Bailey
Thomson is continuing to improve on his game in the post. Thomson feels comfortable to face-up from 12-14 feet on the floor and shows to have a nice touch. Thomson runs the floor well and has a very nice stroke from the foul line. Thomson and Southside Christian will move down to Class 1A this coming season. Thomson has very strong academics in the classroom.
Jameel Brooks Jameel Brooks 6'8" | PF Moravian Prep | 2021 State NC – York Comprehensive HS – Carolina Pressure 2021
Brooks keeps on getting better every time out I have watched him this summer. Brooks has a great MOTOR and length. Brooks a late bloomer for sure is only going to get better with more playing time in the paint. Brooks rebounds the ball on both ends of the floor and finishes inside the paint. Brooks is quick off the floor to block shots.
Porter Stanley Porter Stanley 6'8" | PF Ben Lippen | 2021 State SC – Ben Lippen (Columbia) – Upward Stars Columbia (pictured on the front)
Stanley has made good strides in the past year. Stanley is very good away from the ball and isn’t afraid to be a mover-screener on the floor. Stanley can face-up on the floor and knockdown the 17-19 foot jumper. Stanley plays extremely hard when in the game. Stanley keeps the ball the up high after rebounding it.
Adam Comer Adam Comer 6'8" | PF Broome | 2021 State SC – Broome HS (Spartanburg) – Upward Stars Upstate Watson
Comer was up and down today with his play. Comer moves alright over but still must get better finishing on contact. Comer plays with his back to the basket and don’t mind drawing contact. Comer has good length and keeps the ball up high after he receives it.
Lance Saulisbury Lance Saulisbury 6'10" | C Pinewood Prep | 2021 State SC – Pinewood Prep (Summerville) – Big Shots SC Select
Saulisbury has made strides over the past season since coming over from nearby Northwood Academy. Saulisbury still must get stronger and add weight to his frame for the next level. Saulisbury is very coachable and will play with his back to the basket in the paint. Saulisbury has good footwork and moves around the floor well.
Justin Baxter Justin Baxter 6'7" | PF Bamberg-Ehrhardt | 2021 State SC – Bamberg-Ehrhardt HS – Big Shots SC Select
Baxter is a bit of a tweener on the floor at times. Baxter a left-handed forward likes to shoot the elbow jumper at times. Baxter is best around the basket on put backs and effort points. The Red Raiders will drop down to Class 1A this coming season. Baxter averaged 16 ppg and 16 rebounds last season for the Red Raiders.
