Stokes continues to prove himself as a high level scorer in this 2029 class as a guy with deep range off the catch or bounce along with a crafty array of layups around the rim. Stokes helped Fireball 2029 to a 15u bracket championship at the 252 Showcase and was able to provide consistent production in the backcourt and give them a quality secondary playmaker. He is capable of playing either guard spot and does a nice job using his quick first step to get by the initial defender. In transition he uses his ability to finish in traffic with acrobatic layups in traffic with either hand. Stokes is still getting better and should be a name to monitor in this 2029 class here in North Carolina.

Stokes is a guy that I’ve been aware of around the Raleigh area and after a really quality season at Knightdale on JV, he’s coming in ready to be a real factor on the 15u scene here in North Carolina. Stokes plays the game with great flow, a ton of confidence, and an array of ways to score the basketball for his team. Stokes is capable of playing either spot in the backcourt with his ability to make plays off the bounce for himself + others along with being a really high quality shooter off the catch. Stokes blend of flare and poise make him someone that is a joy to watch, he’ll be a consistent bucket getter in the Raleigh area throughout his high school career and has all of the makings of a next level prospect. As Stokes gets more reps at the PG spot and continues to develop in his skillset and physically, I fully expect to be hearing a lot more from this kid this summer and beyond. He should line up to be a varsity contributor at Knightdale next season.
