Smooth downhill, elevates over defenders. Effective rebounder with upside to become a top-notch perimeter defender. No. 37 – 6-3 SG [player_tooltip player_id="873081" first="Brent" last="Bowman"] – Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe (Up from No. 50) Elite jump shooter with textbook footwork on the perimeter. Patiently uses ball fakes and pivots once he pulls up from the mid-range. Lethal three-point shooter. Doesn’t get rushed. Sharp handles and plays with a calm swagger. One of the best perimeter iso scorers in the state. No. 42 – 6-9 C [player_tooltip player_id="1223231" first="Amir" last="Boyce"] – WD Mohammed (Up from No. 82) Big body post presence that gobbles up double-doubles.

No. 51 – 6-5 W [player_tooltip player_id="1223261" first="Antoine" last="Lorick"] – Cross Creek (Up from No. 65) Very good defender that can guard 1-5. Springy legs. Competitive rebounder. Scores around the rim and has a mid-range game that is expanding. No. 54 – 5-11 PG [player_tooltip player_id="820269" first="Malachi" last="Brown"] – Buford (Up from No. 66) Floor general that doesn’t need to dump in points to impact the game. Has packed on muscle. Explosive to the rim and hits holes like a running back. Sees the floor and gets others involved. Protects the ball and defends well. No. 62 – 6-11 C [player_tooltip player_id="1129732" first="Aaron" last="Jones"] – Veterans (Up from No. 84) Starting to become more of an offensive threat. Long and lean post that alters shots. Has shown flashes of a high skill level. Staying aggressive and being assertive will help unlock his potential.
