5’10 ’24 Darkari Francis
Francis is a steady floor general with IQ, vision, and a tight handle. He sets up the offense and offers sharp defensive prowess at the point of attack defensively. He communicates well, attacks the basket, and looks to make the right play whenever possible. Francis is a quality shooting threat with an understanding of how to conduct himself like a coach on the floor.
6’5 ’24 Ryan Blount
Blount continues to stand out as the clear leader and tone-setter of this group, particularly on offense. He scores the ball with efficiency at an extremely high volume. Blount is a versatile offensive weapon with the ability to score from all levels, in the post, and off his own dribble or when playing off of others. He reliably creates for himself and others, possesses great positional size, and utilizes his body well to rebound and make plays defensively.
6’8 ’24 Colin Kearns
Kearns is a long, wiry, forward/post with solid touch, perimeter shooting, and an active motor on both ends. He doesn’t require a ton of touches to make an impact, as he looks to make hustle plays, battle for rebounds, and alter shots around the basket. Kearns is a capable finisher who runs the floor properly in transition. He will get better with increased strength, but already plays hard and makes an impact on both ends of the floor.
6’8 ’24 Carter Hankerson
Hankerson has obvious appeal as a big, strong-bodied post prospect. He’s physically overwhelming and displays a solid interior presence on both ends of the floor. Hankerson utilizes his strength really well to carve out space as a rebounder or finisher. He’s a quality screener with an understanding of how to properly roll to the basket. Hankerson will only continue to improve as he refines his frame.
6’3 ’24 Cheo James
James offers a fairly steady, well-rounded presence for this group. He’s a quality shooting threat with an understanding of how to spot-up, hit jumpers, and attack closeouts as needed. James can create his own shot, set up others, or play without the ball. He provides a useful defensive presence with length, activity, and athleticism. James reliably fills in the gaps on both ends.
5’10 ’24 Xzavion McCoy
McCoy is a tough, scrappy guard with a quality shooting stroke and the ability to play with or without the ball in his hands. He’s quick enough to get downhill and attack the rim, but looks to take advantage of available space from beyond the arc. McCoy is a useful defender with an active motor and willingness to make hustle plays. He displays nice feel on either side of the ball.
6’5 ’24 Devaughn Stallworth
Rounding out this roster, Stallworth stands out as a fairly versatile, well-rounded piece for this group. Between scoring, defending, rebounding, and playmaking, he naturally does a little bit of everything to fill in the gaps. He possesses nice size, feel, and athleticism. Stallworth can defend multiple positions and rebound effectively for his size.
