He’s a physically-imposing forward that uses his size and frame well to battle in the post and has some budding athleticism to go along with it. As he develops his perimeter game, he’s a prospect worth watching at Panther Creek.
Joseph Bachman Joseph Bachman 6'8" | PF Greensboro Day | 2023 State NC | 6’8 Forward/Center | Laney
Bachman was a relentless presence in the Garner Road 3SSB rotation this past grassroots season, building on his growth at Laney. He’s a prospect that battles in the paint and rebounds in bunches while making it look effortless. He has the physical tools of a traditional big while still maintaining max mobility. Look for him to be a bigger presence in 2020-21 after producing 3.4 ppg and 3.2 rpg as a freshman on varsity.

He’s a versatile prospect at 6-foot-5 whos game is still growing as an all-around scoring threat. He put up 15.9 ppg, 6.8 rpg and 1.1 spg this past season and will move in the 2023 class where he should grow as a college prospect with offers already from Hoftsra and Florida International.
Jaybron Harvey Jaybron Harvey 6'5" | PF Southern Durham | 2023 State NC | 6’5 Forward | Southern Durham
Harvey is another forward prospect in this class with bruising size and athleticism, a theme that makes this quite a talented and deep class in the state. He has a knack for running rim to rim and finishing around the rim on the offensive end. Defensively, he blocks shots and plays with good awareness. He’s one to watch at Southern Durham in 2020-21.
Tymaureon Outlaw Tymaureon Outlaw 6'8" | PF The Burlington School | 2023 State NC | 6’7 Forward/Center | Person
Outlaw is a strong, who’s just scratching the surface of what he can do. He showcased some of his abilities as a rebounder, shot-blocker and bruising finisher this past spring/summer on the grassroots stage with Garner Road 3SSB. He’s got budding potential as a versatile threat on the floor with a nice shooting stroke already. He’s due for a boost in his recruitment at Person High in 2020-21.
