6’6 ’27 KJ Terry (Southern Durham)
After his running mate was sidelined with injury, Terry visibly set the tone as the undisputed leader and focal point. It’s confused why more schools haven’t extended offers to him, a long, fluid, explosive 6-foot-6 wing with valuable ability on both ends of the floor. Terry showcased the full arsenal. He applied constant downhill pressure and finished, drew fouls, and set up others at a strong rate, but also knocked down perimeter jumpers at a quality percentage. Terry is very active on the glass and knows how to reliably make plays in transition. He’s a terrific defender with the motor, athleticism, and physicality to guard multiple positions and force turnovers on a regular basis. Terry continues to be an obvious target for Division I programs.
6’0 ’29 Ty’lik Taylor (Fike)
Although others might receive more attention from the masses, it’s easy to appreciate how Taylor sets the tone as a primary creator. He’s a smart, unselfish floor general with a strong frame and balanced approach to the game. Taylor displays poise, vision, quickness, and a tight handle, which allows him to get wherever he wants off the bounce. He touches the paint with ease and sets up others on a consistent basis. Taylor knocks down shots, rebounds his position, and defends the point of attack very well. Only a sophomore, there’s already a lot to like about his identity.
5’7 ’27 Rylan Leak (West Meck)
Anyone who has watched Leak over the years should already be familiar with his incredibly tough, steady, unselfish two-way leadership presence for this group. Though undersized, he’s shines as a defensive pest and coach on the floor offensively. Leak is quick enough to break down opponents off the dribble and touch the paint at a high volume, where he’s looking to set up others but can apply scoring pressure as needed. He’s able to knock down shots along the perimeter but is always hunting to locate open teammates and make the right play as much as possible. On the other end, Leak plays extremely hard to suffocate opposing guards into miscues and forced turnovers. He’ll be vital to their success.
6’1 ’29 Jayce Williams (Western Guilford)
After establishing himself as a significant piece as a freshman, Williams’ game has only continued to blossom over the travel ball season. He’s a true dawg whose toughness, physicality, and nonstop motor make him a real problem for opponents on both ends of the floor. Williams is a very smart, sharp offensive piece with a well-rounded skillset and the ability to produce in various types of roles. He knows how to run the offense, create for himself and others, and score the ball effectively from all levels. Williams cuts with purpose, finds open seams as a shooting threat, and fills in the gaps however necessary. He’s a very rugged defender who can comfortably toggle across all positions and reliably guard bigger or smaller opponents. Though young, Williams already has a clear understanding of how to make his presence felt.
