<p>Iyer is part of a group of talented players who transferred from the Maryland side over to Bethel Academy with their new coaching staff, and he's fit in like a glove so far with ability to impact the game in so many ways. He's a steady floor general who doesn't turn it over and makes great decisions with the ball in his hands, he picks his spots to score it off the bounce, he can move off the ball and make shots at a high clip, and he gives great effort defensively too.</p>

<p><strong>#92 [player_tooltip player_id='2966558' first='Shamir' last='Williams'] | 6'1” SG | LC Bird</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Williams is looking like a candidate for breakout player in the Richmond area this year, as he has been phenomenal for the new look Skyhawks as he's putting up big time numbers for them as one of their best shotmakers. After a good fall he came out confident and you can see in his willingness to let it fly early in sets or in transition, he has great form and good range, he can attack closeouts and get to the rim, and he has shown the knack for making big time shots too.</p>

<p><strong>#97 [player_tooltip player_id='3275779' first='Jordan' last='Garland'] | 6'3” SG | Heritage-Leesburg</strong></p>

<p>Garland is part of a Heritage group that has gotten off to a great start and looks like they'll be a tough out for anyone, and he's coming into his own as a prospect coaches should get familiar with. The 6'3” guard has a college ready frame already and isn't afraid to take contact when he gets downhill, he's a good athlete who can play above the rim in transition, he makes open shots off the catch, and he still has a ton of untapped ability too.</p>

<p><strong>#101 [player_tooltip player_id='2347783' first='Carson' last='Cook'] | 6'3” SG | Evergreen Christian</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p>Cook transferred to Evergreen this summer after being a standout at Patriot High School the last few seasons, and he couldn't of picked a better spot for a knock down shooter like himself to go with all of their athletic playmakers. Cook's got a good frame that will put on muscle moving forward, he is a dead eye shooter from deep who knows his role and plays within it, he can make shots on the move coming off of screens, and he makes the right play consistently too.</p>

<p><strong>#106 [player_tooltip player_id='3275784' first='Donovan' last='Stinney'] | 6'6” PF | Henrico</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Stinney is a new name in the Richmond area that is getting a lot of attention for his major upside, and could easily be someone who moves up this list as he continues to develop. At 6'6” with a wiry frame and long arms he's able to play and guard multiple positions, he's a good athlete who thrives in transition and can get to the rim where he's a good finisher, he can knock down open shots, and there's a chance he's still growing too!</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#109 [player_tooltip player_id='3275785' first='Bishop' last='Miller'] | 6'3” SG | Gillion Academy</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Miller is a player that won't put up eye popping numbers on a Gillion team that starts four seniors committed to division one schools, but he's definitely someone they're grooming to be a dude for them next year. The 6'3” off guard gives great effort and brings toughness on both ends of the floor, he can knock it down from deep and get to spots in the midrange, he's a good athlete and is physical on both ends, and he's shown the willingness to do the little things to help his team win.</p>
