If they aren’t already, expect Division-I programs to begin tracking Amare Medhin closely in the near future. The long lead guard already plays with the confidence and scoring polish of an upperclassman. Fresh off earning Class 2A Freshman of the Year and Best Scorer honors, Medhin continues carrying that momentum into the travel season where he looks every bit like one of the brightest young offensive weapons in Georgia.

At 6-foot-4, Amare brings outstanding size to the point guard position along with effortless shot-making ability. What stands out immediately is how relaxed and under control he remains offensively. He almost lulls defenders to sleep with his slow-paced rhythm bringing the ball up the floor before suddenly pulling from well beyond the arc. Medhin thrives operating over high ball screens where defenders struggle containing his deep shooting range. His release is smooth and effortless, and the ball leaves his hands with supreme confidence. Even when he gets hot from three-point range, nothing about his game feels forced or rushed. He lets the offense naturally come to him.

While the perimeter scoring grabs most of the attention, Amare is far more than a jump shooter. He changes gears well off the bounce and uses shifty hesitation moves to get downhill where his explosiveness shines. Once he turns the corner, he finishes above the rim with authority and has the body control to navigate traffic in the lane. He also continues making quality reads as a distributor, proving capable of creating offense for teammates while defenses load up to stop him.

Defensively, Medhin’s length gives him major upside. He covers ground quickly, disrupts passing lanes and has the physical tools to become a strong two-way guard. High-level scorers with his size, feel and effortless confidence don’t stay under the radar long. Amare already looks like one of the premier young guards in the state and his ceiling continues climbing.
