2027 | Roman Avery | Sewer South

When 2027 Roman Avery is on the court, it’s hard to look away. Avery is a prospect who can knock it down at a high clip from outside and just as easily get to the basket and finish above the rim. Avery has a high ceiling and mixed with continued growth and size, will be an even more dominating prospect with a few more years under his belt. Avery has an impressive game that is worth noting and checking out.

 

2027 | Dalton Black | R2L

2027 Dalton Black is a prospect that can take over for his team and score in bunches. Black stays on the attack, going the full length of the court and getting down hill. Black has a nice pull-up game, and can knock it down from 10′ out at a high clip. Black had several games with 15+ points, proving to be one of the more efficient scorers in his class.

 

2027 | JJ Brown | Georgia Legacy

2027 F JJ Brown was one of the more dominant bigs we saw at The Opening this weekend. Brown has great size, footwork, and touch around the basket. Brown made it tough for his opponents to get second chance opportunities with his size and strength; using his body to box out and vertical to get the rebounds at its highest point. Brown will be a prospect to track this travel season.

 

2027 | Abram Gaddis | Georgia Legacy

Leading the charge throughout the weekend was 2027 G Abram Gaddis. Gaddis has a nice all around game, and really stepped it up offensively and on the boards. Gaddis had multiple double-digit scoring games, adding in almost just as many boards showing he doesn’t mind banging around in the paint. Gaddis is quick to create shots off the dribble but is also able to finds his teammates rolling to the basket.

 

2027 | William Gause | Triangle Offense Elite

2027 G William Guase has made a name for himself over the last few years and this weekend was no different. Gause is a non-stop guard that plays hard on both ends, never letting up and capitalizes on his effort offensively. Gause is a fast, shifty guard that gets to his spots and makes scoring look effortless. Defensively, Gause is hard to beat with his speed and active hands.
