#17 5'8' 2020 Jordan Jones of SW Guilford (Jamestown, NC)
Jones has a quick first step, getting into the lane going both ways. He is very difficult for defenders to stay in front of. He pushes the ball quickly in transition with his head up, able to get to the rim or kick ahead to the open player. Jones is a good shooter off the catch and has an array of moves that get him to the basket to finish.
#57 5'11' 2020 Jackson Bissette of Hough HS (Cornelius, NC)
Bissette moves well without the ball and plays with a good offensive awareness. He passes the ball well, finding open teammates. He gets to his spots and is able to knock down open shots. Bissette plays with a good understanding of team defensive concepts, he hustles, giving great effort, and gets back in transition every time.
#64 5'11' 2019 Ian Martino of Lake Norman Charter (Huntersville, NC)
Martino was engaged throughout the day. Both his offensive and defensive efforts were solid. He did a great job pushing the ball in transition; taking it to the basket when he was supposed to or dishing it to a open teammate for a better shot. He moves well without the ball and is a solid defender, both on and off the ball. Martino has a nice mid-range game with a nice pull up jump shot.
#97 6'1' 2020 Ford Cooper of Carmel Christian (Charlotte, NC)
Cooper is a shifty player who can get to the basket consistently, using both hands well and showing no fear going at bigger defenders. He moves well without the ball and once he gets it he keeps his defender guessing and off balance. He is at his best in transition, either pushing the break or filling the lanes. Cooper makes good decisions with the ball.
#104: 6'1 '19 Darius Jackson (Charlotte, NC)
Jackson is a player that constantly displays a high motor and willingness to pursue the ball. He led his tam defensively and really set the tone, both vocally and by example, as he ripped one player after another. Jackson is athletic and has the ability to get to the rim in the blink of an eye given his quickness off the dribble. Next in his development process is working on his overall footwork to maximize his play on both ends. Coach Gary on Jackson: 'Wherever the ball is, or was, that's where Darius is going to be. It's like there is a magnetic force pulling him towards the ball. He got several steals each game and scored off of turnovers. From the guard position, Darius got several offensive rebounds, putting a few back in for scores. He attacked the basket often and possesses the ability to finish through contact. In addition, Darius is a very good transition player. If he continues to work on his half-court skillset, he can be an exceptional player.' Jackson made clear impressions with his defensive play and should bring that same intensity into the upcoming season.

#157 6'3' 2018 Orande Richmond of Williams HS (Burlington, NC)
Richmond has a wide body that is hard to get around. If he grabs the ball you will not be able to take it from him. He is physical on the block, off the block and in transition. Richmond is able to score going both ways in the post and is able to spread you out to the free throw line extended and score at a high clip. He is a good positional defender who had several blocks, steals and deflections throughout the day.
#165 6'6' 2019 Moreng Gatkuoth of Mt Zion (Durham, NC)
Gathuoth is long, smooth and very athletic. H is able to bring the ball up the floor, play off the ball, rip and go to the basket or pull up off the dribble. He is a very good one on one player and stretches the floor with his ability to shoot the 3. Gatkuoth is great in transition with his ability to run and go either way with a burst, off the bounce. As he continues to get stronger, his game will continue to take off.
#184 6'6' 2021 Jonathan Kuras of Mooresville HS (Mooresville, NC)
Kurtas showed a good attitude and remained engaged, on both ends, throughout the camp. He hustled, playing with great effort and displayed a nice basketball IQ.

He played great, fundamental defense with several blocked shots and he rebounded well.
