A recent state champion, Chris Hutchinson is now rocking with the Atlanta Allstars and put together a consistently good weekend to start their 2023 AAU season. He’s a guard with good positional size and length that can knock down shots and handle some creation duties when needed. As this team continues to round into form, Hutchinson is a player that should be a key contributor to a program that has a history of success. - Josh Tec
We’re seeing Clanton stack weekends. He was great at Georgia Cup I and followed that performance up with another good weekend at Tip-Off. His motor continues to be the first and foremost aspect of his game that stands out. Clanton also provides this team with so much versatility. He can play big, he’s a 3-point threat, he can make plays with the ball, etc. He’s a Swiss-Army-knife player. This BCB squad is making noise early this season, and Clanton has been at the heart of it all. - Josh Tec
Mosley is a do-eveything player. He impacts the game in one way or another. He can score from multiple levels, and he defends with an edge. If there’s one thing that we’ve come to know from Norcross Heat is that they thrive in gritty games. Mosley is built for that. He’s a guy that should keep building on this momentum as we get closer to the summer. - Josh Tec
Carpenter has been impressing on this stage for well over a year now. The sophomore guard doesn’t seem to get the credit he deserves yet, but it’s going to come with more weekends like this. He combines craft, finesse and power when attacking the rim. Carpenter can finish consistently whether it’s through contact or via creative shots at the rim. Look for him to keep boosting his stock this season. - Josh Tec
In the two games I saw him in, Elijah Mincey showed me a lot with South Georgia Elite. He’s a fearless guard that can kill teams off the bounce. In a close game, a guard like Mincey is the kind of guy that can go make a play happen. He can get you a bucket when you need one. There’s all kinds of talent up and down this South Georgia Elite program, and Mincey is one of their guards to look out for. - Josh Tec
