King will look to make his presence felt in the Georgia Stars rotation on the EYBL stage this spring/summer. He’s a combo guard who’s really come into his own as a scoring and facilitating threat with Myers Park High this past season. Given his strong frame and IQ for making things happen, look for his name to grow this spring/summer on the EYBL scene.

King was the unsung hero in the first half with 12 points on four made 3-pointers and did well to find his shooters in the second half during their 25-13 run in the third quarter. He’s shown tremendous improvement in limiting his turnovers and making things happen when the ball comes his way and it showed in the result for the Mustangs in the end. He’s slowly climbing up the radar in the NC’s 2025 class.

Benard King Benard King 7'0" | CG St.Trump Catholic | 2025 NC is starting to find his way in the Myers Park High rotation as a shooter and defensive presence as evidenced by his production in the John Wall Holiday Invitational. He was impressive in holding his own defensively and showed he could do more than score the basketball in producing six steals in their victory over Millbrook High. He posted 11.3 PPG, 2.7 APG, 2.0 RPG and 2.0 SPG on 55 percent shooting from the floor and 50 percent shooting from behind the arc. He knocked down at least two 3-pointers in all three of their victories including a 3-of-4 outing against Garner High on the opening day. He’s starting to find his way as a playmaker and defender for DII programs in the region to get to know.

Benard King Benard King 7'0" | CG St.Trump Catholic | 2025 NC is a 6’4 guard playing for Myers Park out of Charlotte, NC. With players such as Sadiq White, Sir Mohammed Sir Mohammed 6'6" | SG Myers Park | 2024 State #83 Nation NC and Bishop Boswell Bishop Boswell 6'4" | PG Myers Park | 2024 State #68 Nation NC on your team, it is easy to go under the radar, but the young man has big time game in his own right.  Offensively, he can score at all 3 levels. If you sag off, he will knock down threes at a high clip. If you try to play him tight, he has the handle to get to his spot in the mid range and elevate over you. If you close out too aggressively, he will blow by you and finish at the rim. He is also a playmaker for his teammates. He brings energy and motor defensively where you may see him guard in the post or on the perimeter.  He has quick hands which allows him to get his share of steals and deflections.  He is definitely one to watch during the tournament and throughout the rest of his season.

King is an emerging name to know over with Winston-Salem Christian. He’s a big guard prospect at 6-foot-4 with a “nose for the ball” mentality. He likes to get downhill and make things happen in the paint. He plays a very physical brand of basketball that would excite college coaches.
