Atlanta, Ga – The Peachtree Corners Invitational provided an exciting atmosphere for teams to compete against elite competition. College coaches from around the country stopped through Norcross High School to watch some of the top talent in the state of Georgia. Here is a close look back on which players elevated themselves above the others on this January weekend.
Brandon Boston – Norcorss (GA) – 2020
Boston is one of the better sharp shooters in the country. When his team needed a big play, he came through every time which helped Norcross pull away from Riverdale Baptist (MD). He has a high basketball IQ and knows how to move without the ball to get open. Boston caught fire in the second half connecting on (5) three pointers in a row. In addition, he has improved his dribble-drive game and does a solid job of getting to the basket.

Jalen Lecque – The Christ School (NC) – 2019
One of the most aggressive and attacking points in the country. Lecque has a great motor and plays in attack mode on the offensive end of the floor on every possession. He can get to the rim at will on the break. He is terrific off the dribble where he beats defenders one on one on a regular basis with his explosive first step.
Isaac Okoro – McEachern (GA) – 2019
Okoro is a big time athlete that is strong and physical on both ends of the floor. He excels in transition on the break where he can finish above the rim with power. In the half court he power drives and slashes to the rim where he can finish through contact. He did a good job of allowing the game to come to him by taking what the defense gave him and picking his spots to attack.
McEachern is on a mission early. Isaac Okoro with the slam on the break.
It’s McEachern 19, Village Christian 7 towards the end of the 1st Qtr.

He is an offensive rebounding specialist that has a good feel for the path off the ball and is relentless at chasing down second shot opportunities. He has good touch in the lane and he is good at attacking the basket from the high post area where he can get to the rim and finish with spins before he elevates over defenders.
