He's coming off a year in which he tallied 14.1 points and 5.2 rebounds a night. A major uptick should be in store for sophomore Jaden McCullough who is now seeing D-I offers come his way. He was effective off the bench in Year 1, averaging 7.5 points per game. Senior Jordan Mays is an unsung veteran presence who brings more to the table than just his 5.1 points per night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>North Cobb Christian</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Built in a somewhat similar mold of [player_tooltip player_id='1861339' first='Huey' last='Blalock'] at Rabun County, [player_tooltip player_id='1543506' first='Grant' last='Robich'] is a highlight making distributor who plays with extreme toughness. He's a bit undersized but Robich puts defenders on skates as he is able to break them down and create for himself and others off the dribble. Grant averaged 13.9 points and 6.5 assists as a sophomore. [player_tooltip player_id='2125534' first='Isaiah' last='Chandler'] has a high ceiling as a two-way standout. The big guard has long arms and is quick to get off the floor. He recorded 11.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists. [player_tooltip player_id='2380974' first='Jordan' last='Wiseman'] is another jumping jack that is a breakaway slam away from swinging momentum. Freshman Peyton Easley moves in after spending the summer with Mt. Paran.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Mt.

Freshman [player_tooltip player_id='2850898' first='Jamaal' last='Oliver'] is a promising prospect who should fight for playing time in a talented and crowded backcourt.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Walker</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pick your poison. [player_tooltip player_id='2471110' first='KD' last='Hernandez'] is receiving Power 5 offers as a sophomore, a physical do-everything guard that averaged 16 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2 steals as a freshman. [player_tooltip player_id='2425857' first='Anderson' last='Carey'] may be the best three-point shooter in the state, 70-135 (52%) from distance to average 16.3 points per game. [player_tooltip player_id='2746193' first='Lorenzo' last='McCorvey'] is a monster stock riser who continually improves. He can play 1-5 at the high school level. The long, 6-foot-5 guard touches every aspect of the box score. Devon Fernande moves in from Cherokee, giving the Wolverines another strong playmaker who get can defend and score in multiple ways.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Darlington&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Tigers have a ton of veteran guards to choose from.
