The Carolina Pressure continues to be a staple here in South Carolina, as this is a program that continues to bring intriguing talent of all levels and we had a chance to watch this organization back in action in Raleigh at the Phenom Hoops LIVE. We broke down a few players that really earned our attention at the event, but this continues to be a deep program that has rising talent each year.
2025 6’4 Taurus Lewis
It has been clear that Lewis has elevated his game to another level this summer and really has been blossoming as a true scoring threat. He has a smooth feel to his game that allows him to pick his spots, whether it is pulling up from behind the arc, penetrating and pulling up, or finding ways to use his length to score at the rim.
2025 6’0 Cedric Cisse
Cisse is one that I really do enjoy watching as he is a tough, scrappy guard on the court. He makes high IQ plays, understands how to bring a good balance to the court, can score well off the dribble, but also finds ways to make plays for other teammates. Good creator that is willing to battle on the court.
2025 6’0 Jacarey Ballard
Ballard is another tough guard who produces in a variety of ways on the court. He can defend well, he can be an effective scorer on and off the ball, has strong handles in his ability to create, and plays with a strong motor on the floor. I really like his impact in a variety of areas on both sides.
2025 6’2 Robert Johnson
Johnson is one that is a long guard and really showed the ability to knock down shots from a variety of levels. Consistently, he was able to show range in his game and one that can confidently knock down shots. Confident from behind the arc.
2026 6’1 Peden Breazeale
Breazeale is a quick, explosive guard who can not only be an effective scorer but also understand how to run the offense for his team. He is scrappy on the defensive end and brings endless pressure to opponents. Offensively, he is a strong creator off the dribble and makes high IQ decisions for himself and others.
2026 6’3 Drayton Cockfield
Cockfield as a tough matchup as he plays bigger than he is listed. He can guard multiple positions, is comfortable making plays inside and out, and can create for himself, but can also operate inside down in the post. Extremely versatile prospect on the court.
