Rank   Name   Position     Height            Weight   School           College
1 - Joseph Uchebo PF              6'11"      230Oak Ridge MilitaryNC State
Athletic Nigerian with a nice touch and range to the three point line. He secures rebounds very well and has a nice feel for the game. Uchebos tremendous upside along with his already strong instincts give him the nudge over four other serious contenders for the top spot.

2 - Peter Jurkin      C      7’0”200United Faith
A extremely physically gifted young center who has limitless upside.  Coordination, athleticism, length that he possesses cannot be taught and has a great touch from 15'.  Next to come are strength and developing an offensive game.  HM

3 - Hanner Perea   PF     6’8"       220United Faith
Similar to Jurkin in his great athleticism and length.  He is a superior shot blocker and his offensive game is developing.  HM

4 - Braxton Ogbueze     SG/PG       6’0”              165Vance
Braxton is an explosive, strong, combo guard with a scorer’s mentality.  He already has a complete offensive game; 3's, dribble drives, pull ups, floaters, he does it all!  Point guard skills are developing.   HM

5 - Montrezl Harrell        PF     6’6.5"    220North Edgecombe
Harrell is an ultra long and super athletic power forward with an opportunity to transition to the wing in the future.  He has excellent timing blocking shots, and is too much to handle around the basket for most PF's of his age and rebounds at a very high rate with his constantly running motor.  He has shown improvement every time out since first laying eyes on him his first high school game. Harrell has all the tools to quickly move up the pecking order. HM

6 - TJ Warren SF     6’6"     200Riverside
A long, versatile wing, with plenty of upside.  Warren has a little bit to everything to his game, although not overly flashy.  His perimeter defense and versatility are his calling cards at the moment.

7 - Tyler Lewis      PG      5’11"    145Forsyth Country Day
A true definition of a point guard.  Mature beyond his years, he runs a team like a seasoned veteran.  He can also score at a high rate.  Size and athleticism will be his challenges to overcome. 

8 - Jevonte Miles   SF       6’5"     190Mt Zion
Miles is a 6'5" strong, athletic, lefty wing who has range past the three point line. He has plenty of upside and has a chance to play at the highest level, although we would like to get more looks at him.

9 - Torian Graham   SG      6’3”      170Hillside
High level shooter with good size and very good athleticism. Very thin at the moment, if he is able to put on some solid weight, his game will continue to reach new levels.

10 - Shane Whitfield PG/SF  6’5"              195Pamlico
Very skilled Point Forward with excellent upside. Whitfield is coming off a knee injury. He is a pretty athletic as of now but he should be improving in that category as he continues to get more comfortable on the court. IVY Caliber student. 

11 - Julius Hamilton SG      6’4"       210West Charlotte
Hamilton is a powerful, smooth wing who is a load to handle for opposing HS players, his age and older.  He has a nice stroke from mid-range and from the three point line.  He also possess maturity, the ability to take the ball to the hoop, and find open team-mates. 

12 - Tyler Brunson   SF      6’6"175Mt Zion
Brunson is a long 6'6" wing with the ability to knock down perimeter jumpers.  He is a solid athlete, but needs to get stronger and more consistent. 

13 - Madison Jones            PG     6’1”170Ravenscroft
Jones is a true lead guard, with solid athleticism and good decision making skills for his age.  He shows a strong basketball IQ and as he grows and gets stronger could prove to be a popular recruit. 

14 - Reggie Dillard    SG      6’3”190Dudley
Dillard is a physically strong and athletic slashing wing.  Although he takes a back seat to one of the best scoring guards in the nation on his HS team (PJ Hairston) he is capable of getting to the rim and knocking down mid-range jumpers. 

15 - Adam Coble PF     6’7”200Northwest Guilford
Undersized PF with a nice skill level and is a decent athlete.

16 - Sean NottinghamSG/PG6'2170Mt Zion
Shoots it well, has excellent handle and is quick. Need to see him more, but he showed a lot of talent for the game we caught. He showed the ability to move up this list fairly quickly.

17 - Gavin Wilson   SG      6’1"190Garner
Gavin is a Strong, fairly athletic SG that can really stroke it from distance. At 6', his ability to improve his point guard skills will determine his eventual college level. 

18- Calvin Davis     PG     6’1"170Phillip O'Berry
A 6'1" strong, and athletic PG.  He has the ability to create for team-mates as well as score it himself.  His stock should rise nicely in the coming years.

19 - Bryce Benjamin SG     6’3"180NE Guilford
A 6'3" strong wing who can really shoot.  Bryce possesses a smooth game, but needs to get a little quicker and improve his handle. 

20- Waymond Wright PG    6’0"     Word of God
Wright is a shifty undersized PG, with the ability to score and distribute.  He needs to get stronger and learn to improve the others around him, but excels in the open court and getting into the lane. 

20 - Jaquintus Pinder SG     6’3”     Phillip O'Berry
Pinder is an athletic, active 6'3" wing.  He is capable of shooting it from behind the three point line, but also likes to slash his way to the tin.  His aggressive style enables him to fit in on just about any team he plays on.

Montay Brandon, 6’3 170 PG, Krestel Heights
