6'2 '20 Jackson Dobson (Carolina Knights)

Dobson was one of the best two-way players on display from Saturday morning at Phenom David Rose. He did everything for his team: handling the ball, blocking shots, pursuing rebounds, creating for others and scoring on all three levels. Dobson's value cannot be overstated; he's a massive part of the Knights success and they are simply better when he is on the floor.

 

6'1 '20 Javen Chandler (Carolina Knights)

Whenever the Knights needed a nice change-of-pace guard, they would sub in Chandler, who was one of their most reliable scorers. He shot the ball fairly well from three-point range, but had the most success on midrange pull-ups and drives to the basket. Chandler was one of the better ball-handlers available and took pride in his play defensively.

 

6'3 '20 Malik Davis (Carolina All-Stars)

The most intriguing prospect on Carolina All-Stars was Davis, a combo forward with incredible lower-body strength. Few opponents are able to match his aggressiveness on the block, where he utilizes his muscular frame to clear out space and score inside. Davis was the most effective around the basket, but has potential to play on the perimeter in the future.

 

6'3 '22 Jemez Herd (Charlotte Royals)

Herd was an incredibly intriguing prospect on both sides of the ball, given his length and ability to utilize it. He's somewhat thin but remains productive, displaying a quality motor while in pursuit of rebounds and loose balls. Herd has a ton of upside defensively and could develop into a nice combo-forward with adequate time.

 

5'11 '22 Armand Pierce (Charlotte Royals)

The Royals looked to Pierce whenever they were in need of a basket and, more times than not, he delivered. He's a guard that is always in attack mode, looking to break down opponents off the dribble and finish at the rim. With added three-point consistency, Pierce can be one of the most interesting young guards from the Charlotte area.

 

6'2 '20 Lamar Lightbrown (Durham Hurricanes)
The Durham Hurricanes have seen great success whenever Lightbrown is on the floor. He is their glue-guy and simply knows how to affect all facets of the game. The lefty has strong basketball IQ and an innate feel for the game. Lightbrown is starting to score whenever he wants on penetration opportunities, but still has quality shooting ability from midrange and three-point territory.

 

6'8 '20 Sam Hood (Durham Hurricanes)

The 6-foot-8 big man has been the perfect addition to this Durham Hurricanes squad. He plays an extremely rugged, unselfish brand of basketball and fits seamlessly. Hood is a great rim-protector and rebounds quite well, despite his slight frame. He is a solid athlete with blossoming three-level scoring ability and should appear on the Division I radar sooner than later.

 

6'0 '20 Micah Jones (Durham Hurricanes)

Whenever the Hurricanes are in need of scoring, they can sub in Jones and expect immediate results. He's from the combo-guard mold and he has a natural scoring sense from all three levels, though he is the most efficient inside the arc. Jones will be one to watch going forward, as each contest is an excuse for a scoring explosion.

 

6'5 '20 Josh Robinson (CSB Elite)

The most intriguing prospect from the Mid-Morning session was Robinson. At 6-foot-5, he is long and full of upside, but would benefit from adding strength to his frame. Robinson has massive upside as a combo-forward, given his length and ability to block shots.

 

5'10 '21 Ethan Pegram (CSB Elite)

The CSB Elite squad went to battle during their midday contest, but it was certainly a tale of two halves. They struggled until Pegram started knocking down shots in the second half, where he would score all of his points in an attempt to mount a comeback. It wasn't enough, but he made a noticeable impact on offense, regardless if the ball was in his hands.
