Van der Heijden leads an impressive group of wings from the Raleigh-Durham area. He’s a 6-foot-9 prospect that can play the 2-4 spot on the floor as he adds more bulk to his frame. He shot 45 percent from 3-point range while draining 54 3-pointers in 2019-20. He’s due for a strong senior year with the Millbrook.
#2 Jalen McDonald Jalen McDonald 6'5" | CG Leesville Road | 2021 State NC | 6-5 G/F | Leesville Road
McDonald is a 6-foot-5 wing that’s due to make waves in the Cap7 in 2020-21 alongside Carter Whitt Carter Whitt 6'2" | PG Leesville Road | 2021 State #64 Nation NC . He’s a high-flying wing that can finish above the rim and get the crowd on their feet. As his shot comes along, look for him to become a problem on the wing. He was recently offered by UNC-Wilmington to add to his list of offers which stands at six schools now.
#3 Saiquone Harris Saiquone Harris 6'6" | CG Garner | 2020 State NC | 6’7 Wing | Word of God

#4 Redford Dunton Redford Dunton 6'6" | SF Millbrook | 2021 State NC | 6’6 G/F | Millbrook
Dunton will make a move from Heritage High to Millbrook High, adding another top wing prospect in the Raleigh-Durham area to an already lethal squad. He put up 16.4 ppg, 6.4 rpg and 2.4 apg in the Heritage rotation in 2019-20 and his production should replicate itself as a weapon in their rotation that can play the wing and in the paint.
#5 Toby Harris Toby Harris 6'6" | SF Durham Academy | 2021 State NC | 6’6 G | Durham Academy
Harris really came along in the Durham Academy rotation in 2019-20. He shot 44 percent from 3-point land while averaging 12.2 ppg in the Cavaliers rotation as they went undefeated in conference play and deep in the NCISAA Playoffs. His rebounding has really come along as well, he grabbed 5.4 per game in 2019-20. He’s an emerging prospect to keep eyes on in the Raleigh-Durham area.
#6 Sam Perez Sam Perez 6'7" | PF Trinity Academy (Raleigh) | 2022 State NC | 6’7 G/F | Middle Creek
Perez is an emerging prospect with a versatile skill set in the Middle Creek rotation. He produced 16.6 ppg, 8.6 rpg and 3.5 apg in the lineup in 2019-20 alongside Tharius Suggs Tharius Suggs 6'3" | CG Middle Creek | 2021 State NC , another top prospect in the area.
