<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we begin to wrap up coverage of the high school season, it's time to take a look at some of the best players from each part of the state. We're moving up North in the state, as we take a look at the best players in the Triad area. Read below for our picks for All Triad team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>First Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1716474' first='Dionte' last='Neal'] - 22.7 PPG, 11.2 APG, 47% 3PFG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Neal was outstanding all season long as a freshman lead guard, and he can do everything already. He and teammate [player_tooltip player_id='1628346' first='Kendre' last='Harrison'] are lethal in pick and rolls, and he creates his own shot using his quickness and shiftiness to pull up for jumpers and floaters.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1786681' first='Shamarius' last='Peterkin'] - </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Peterkin is a smooth guard that makes plays in a variety of situations, and really can score the ball. He's a great pull up jump shooter, both in the midrange and from 3. Defensively, he makes plays with physicality and an intensity that doesn't waver every time he's out there.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='951363' first='Jahreece' last='Lynch'] - 21.6 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 5.8 APG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lynch is headed to play college football, but his senior season was impressive this year. He's a dog who just seems to make every play his team needs to win, using his athleticism and toughness to either finish at the rim or guard the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='577888' first='Jaydon' last='Young'] - </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Young showed all season long why he's headed to Virginia Tech next year, as his scrappy mentality on defense and as a competitor shined. His offensive performances were terrific as well, showcasing his athletic ability while also showing coaches he could make plays off the bounce.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1628346' first='Kendre' last='Harrison'] - 21.5 PPG, 15.1 RPG, 4.4 BPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harrison is a mature, extremely physical big man that is also only a freshman, and he looks the part. He's explosive with a developing offensive game, scoring out of the pick and roll and other touches near the bucket, and is also an extremely talented shot blocker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Second Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1257255' first='James' last='McCreary'] - 21.1 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 3.4 APG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McCreary is a big time scorer and showed it this year as the running mate to [player_tooltip player_id='951363' first='Jahreece' last='Lynch']. He can knock down long distance shots but also attack a closeout and put the ball on the floor. Offensively he can really fill it up against all kinds of defenders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1696318' first='Isaiah' last='Ramazani'] - 13.1 PPG, 3.0 APG, 44% 3PFG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ramazani is a scoring guard who proves his toughness and ability every night out on the court. He's a knockdown three point shooter who also thrives when he can make plays for others, such as teammate Jayden Spillman out of the pick and roll.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Zacch Wiggins - 15.8 PPG, 7.1 RPG, 57% FG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wiggins is a big time sophomore who has gotten a lot better over the course of the season. He is still a powerful driver who attacks the rim with strength, but he is also knocking down jumpshots at a much higher clip now. His athleticism is very impressive, both in leaping ability and quickness.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='997745' first='Iverson' last='King'] - </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>King is a big wing who continues to impress as someone college coaches should get their eyes on. He provides a great offensive threat by being able to shoot and put the ball on the floor, and his size allows him to switch against guards and stay on the floor defensively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1027995' first='Jaydin' last='Spillman'] - 13.7 PPG, 7.2 RPG, 1.6 BPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Spillman is a long, thin big man who continues to ooze potential like he has for a long time. He can score down low but loves to do most of his work in transition and in space, where he can succeed against defenders who can't keep up with his quickness.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
