He has a good burst of speed and terrific first step that allows him to beat defenders off the dribble. He is streaky from behind the arc but good enough to draw out the defense.

Ty Brooks – Fort Payne (AL) – 2019

He is a consistent catch and shoot threat from behind the three-point line and is also good enough with the ball to get into the lane scoring off slashes to the basket. Defensively, he is a very good on-the-ball defender as he gets low in his stance, works to pressure the ball, and moves well laterally.

Nick Edwards – Grayson (GA) – 2018

Edwards excels in transition and in the half court with slashes between defenders. He is athletic enough to finish above the rim on the break or in traffic. He is a very good baseline driver and has the speed and quickness to beat the help defenders to the rim.

The Future…

Dylan Cardwell – Evans (GA) – 2020

He is a huge post target that can score with power drop steps, jump hooks and drop off passes created by dribble penetration that he finishes above the rim with a clear path or direct angle. Cardwell will only continue to get better and will be a prospect to keep an eye on in the 2020 class.

Broc Bidwell – West Forysth (GA) – 2021

There are not many guard who have the saavy and IQ of Bidwell. His skill level off the dribble enables him to get by most any defender and into the paint where he is a creative passer.

He can swing between both guard positions because he possesses a good IQ. He is crafty working along the baseline and has a smooth looking jump shot from the mid-range area.

Zawdie Jackson – South Gwinnett (GA) – 2020

Jackson is a solid point guard who can both score and distribute. He has good quickness and speed with the ball. He’s an above average shooter to 19 feet but could be more consistent. Good defender who can play passing lanes well.
