Coppedge is a physical forward prospect who is making huge strides in his second full season. He’s picked up MVP honors at the WJG Invitational, dropped 16.2 PPG and 8.7 RPG so far for Greene Central, and improved his slashing and playmaking skills so far this year. He really attacks the rim and the glass efficiently and with power, making him a hard to contain player when he gets a head of steam and is going downhill.

Coppedge had a great game in the Rams 74-56 win over North Lenoir, as he tallied 29 points to go along with 9 rebounds and 5 steals in the victory. He’s a strong bodied, physical scorer down low that just overpowers people and scores through them. His strength also gives him the capability to be a strong rebounder, and impact the ball on defense. Would love to see him start developing a perimeter game, but there’s plenty of potential and room to grow.
