6'11 '19 Malcolm Wilson (Ridge View)
There wasn't a single prospect more visually-striking than Malcolm Wilson, the 6-foot-11 big
man from the heart of Columbia. He entered this event with more Division I offers than anyone
else and for good reason, since he possesses an elite skill: shot-blocking. Wilson is great at
patrolling the paint and protecting the rim, but adding lower-body strength is going to be a
necessity at the next level. Offensively, he utilizes his length around the basket, but has
considerable upside if he can become more efficient as a midrange scorer. Wilson has so many
tools that could make him a special player, but he'll need to continue to expand his confidence
before making that leap.
6'1 '19 Walyn Napper (Ridge View)
The Ridge View squad was without one of their best players in Crosby James, but his absence
only led to an uptick in play from Walyn Napper. The combo-guard has been gradually making
the necessary steps towards becoming a point guard, and looked pretty strong in this setting.
He's somewhat of a natural scorer, but made a concerted effort to create for others throughout
the day. Napper scores pretty well from all three levels and plays with a nice change of pace,
specifically with the ball in his hands. He displayed strong vision and attacked the basket well in
transition; it'll be interesting to see how he progresses going forward.
6'6 '19 Daniel Finney-Smith (AC Flora)
The AC Flora team was without their star big man, Patrick Iriel, but that allowed Daniel Finney-
Smith to frequently attack the glass on both ends of the floor. It was somewhat easy for him to
make an impact, especially as the most athletic player on the floor. At 6-foot-6, and built with a
muscular frame, few opponents are able to stop Daniel-Finney inside the paint because of his
absolute relentlessness. He fights for every rebound and instills fear in opponents once he gets
downhill and heading toward the rim. There are a variety of college programs that should be
tracking Finney-Smith throughout the next six to eight months.
6'1 '21 Robert McClay (AC Flora)
There were so many intriguing prospects in the building, but few players with more promise than
Robert McClay of AC Flora. He came ready to play, displaying an extremely high motor and
strong IQ on both sides of the ball. As previously mentioned, they were without Iriel, so it led to
McClay breaking out as one of their leaders. He consistently forced turnovers and pushed the
break in transition, where he showed finishing and passing capabilities. McClay also scored
efficiently from all three levels in the half-court sets. This was one of our first viewings seeing
the 6-foot-1 guard in a major role on this AC Flora team, and he was very impressive. McClay is
certainly one to watch in a loaded 2021 class.
6'2 '19 Trae Hannibal (Hartsville)
The newly committed South Carolina Gamecock entered this event as one of the most exciting
prospects in the state. On one hand, Hannibal followed through and put on the high-flying, three-
level scoring arsenal that we've come to know. On the other, Hartsville struggled to compete
with opponents of equal level. Hannibal scored the ball so effortlessly and drew more fouls than
anyone else in attendance. He has as much talent as any guard in South Carolina, but Hannibal
will need to emerge as a leader on this team if they want to enjoy success next season. There are
some questions about his motor and ability to defend, but there should be optimism about his
progression and growth, especially under the tutelage of Frank Martin.
