KJ Buffen @kbuffen1 is a long and athletic forward. He excels in transition by running the floor and finishing above the rim.

Kyle Sturdivant’s @dr3amchasin strength allows him to take a bump and finish at the rim which allows him many and-one opportunities. Junior lead guard has been outstanding tonight for Norcross @NorcrossHoops

Xavier Brewer (@zaymoney_20) had an all-around game against Shiloh. An efficient and reliable big on both ends of the floor. pic.twitter.com/or9Vhi3A9W

Their is no question that Brandon Boston @bboston_ stretches the defense better then most. When he heats up he has the ability to put points on the board quick

Dalvin White (@dalvinwhite12) & Kevon Eskridge have been cooking against Gainesville. Two deadly shooters in transition and spot up. @NorcrossHoops pic.twitter.com/XNc85v14d5

College coaches looking for a guard need to check out Dalvin White @dalvinwhite12 of Norcross @NorcrossHoops

Elias King (@Eliasking15) put up big numbers today trying to help Shiloh overcome their deficit. A versatile player that can attack/shoot at any moment. @coachrivers32 pic.twitter.com/WxJEgHkZn5

Jarred Godfrey @J5_Hoops is a lead guard with terrific size, strength, & length for his position. He sees the floor & puts immediate pressure on the defense by advancing the ball with the pass or dribble.

Mervin James (@vingot5) is who you want down low when the game gets close. Always ready to score once he gets it and stays with the ball the whole play through. @gewj2391 pic.twitter.com/zU8KyM0q3A

Deavaris Nichols of @Meadowcreek_BB heats up QUICK and is hard to contain once he gets going. Good showing from him earlier against Pebblebrook. pic.twitter.com/WLRN5dCzQT

Grant Howard doesn't need much space to get his shot off and has been catching it in rhythm all game. @gewj2391 pic.twitter.com/GdO3KqMRv4

Jamir Chaplin (@Drippyjay24) has been on GO since the tip. Forcing his way to the basket, playing above the rim, and posterizing anyone that tries to jump with him. @Meadowcreek_BB pic.twitter.com/kr1UGudEH0

Austin Deckard (@austindeckard_) did a good job of finding holes in the defense, making shots off the catch, and also finishing in transition. @lamberthoops pic.twitter.com/Rbm545XGwF

6'8 Colin Granger (@Granger32Colin) is a skilled fundamental big that gives @lamberthoops good inside presence on both ends of the floor. pic.twitter.com/cgx3lBk9uW
— Shun Williams (@OntheRadarHoops) November 18, 2017
Damon Stoudamire (@Iambiggie503) scores in bunches and has the motor to keep going all game. Another tough scoring option for @lamberthoops that can score in a variety of ways. pic.twitter.com/pLtZOmUSGc

Solid first half for senior Jalen Stegall, knocking down some great looks trying to reduce his team's deficit. @Dfavors2019 @thelab_dfavors pic.twitter.com/k6beENeki3

James Glisson IIlI contributed 15 points to the Southwest Dekalb win. A physical Forward that hits the boards hard on every possession and finishes with contact. @Swdbasketball pic.twitter.com/7alZpYqaTW

Kadrius "KD" Johnson (@Swdkd10) led @Swdbasketball to the win against Central Gwinnett with 17 pts. Attacking the rim hard every opportunity he got. pic.twitter.com/JwQDUYObeb
