Winborne has reclassified to 2028 and started running with A Wigg Elite UAA 16u this spring/summer. The early returns appear to be strong as Winborne helped propel A Wigg off to a strong start after their appearance at the On The Radar North Carolina Opening this past weekend. Winborne shot the ball with a ton of confidence both off the catch and dribble while showing he can attack the basket as well. He can play either spot in the backcourt with the reclassification giving him more time to develop as a full time PG. Winborne did so many great things as he helped Greenfield to an NCISAA 2A State Championship this past season and should continue to show off his chops with A Wigg Elite on the Under Armor Circuit this spring/summer.

There are guys that you just trust to make the big shot and Greenfield has the luxury of two sharing a backcourt together. Securing the top seed in the 2A classification, Greenfield has had a ton of success this season and when Winborne provides production + timely shot making, it’s rare that they lose. As a Junior, Winborne is averaging 10.4 Points, 2.2 Rebounds, 1.3 Assists, and 1.0 Steals per game. He’s doing all of that on 47/43/50 splits. The free throw volume is so low that I think that average will come up because he shoots it so well from three at a really steady volume (4.9 Attempts Per Game). Winborne has the handle to be a secondary creator, attack closeouts, and finish in crafty fashion around the cup. He’s a naturally tough kid that is willing to take charges and compete for 50/50 balls. Winborne’s knack for timely shot making is the real reason he made this list today, Greenfield is going to need him to hit a big one at some point on this run, he’ll be ready to do it.

What makes this Greenfield team so special is that they have so many options alongside of Edwards who are capable of swinging a game with their production in their own way. In the semis, that guy was Johnny Winborne Johnny Winborne 6'0" | SG Greenfield | 2028 State NC .

Huge shots from Winborne kept Greenfield in the mix and gave Edwards the opportunity to hit the shot of his life and give Greenfield a berth in the championship game.
