Big B's top GaHS B-Ball prospects...

As the regular season in Georgia high school football begins to wind down, we begin to turn our focus to the hardwood and the squeaky sneakers that make up Georgia High School Basketball. While not the hotbed that it is in football, Georgia high school basketball is pretty good and produces some of the nation's best players. Derrick Favors from South Atlanta as recent as last year and Dwight Howard if we want to play the "Oh really, how about some one that has MADE IT" game.
Big B Brian Jones of Score Atlanta fame has put together his first list of the state's top boys/mens basketball players. With no further ado....(PS, tune in for more of Brian on Score Atlanta's Official Visit, hosted by SBF's own Fletcher Proctor this Monday from 8-10 p.m.)

10) Devonta White – Centennial, 6-0, 150 pounds, committed to Georgia State

9) Donte Williams - Miller Grove, 6-9, 200-pound power forward. Offers from Auburn, Georgia and Georgia State. Kid has a great mid-range game and is a talented shot blocker.

8) Marcus Thornton – Westlake, 6-7, 215, Clemson commit. Long, athletic, good shot blocker, developing mid-range game, but great upside.

7) Jershon Cobb – Columbia, 6-4, 170-pound shooting guard. committed to Northwestern. Good all-around scorer, and shooter.

6) Rion Brown – Liberty Co, 6-5, 187-pound guard. Committed to Miami. Needs to work on his handle, but is an absolutely dynamic athlete with a great shot.

5) Jeremy Lamb – Norcross, 6-4, 165-pound shooting guard. Committed to Connecticut. He was a sixth man last year, but has become a dominant scorer on the AAU circuit and averaged a ton of points per minute for Norcross last year.

4) Jordon McRae – Liberty Co, 6-6, 180-pound shooting guard. Committed to Tennessee over Georgia. Great size, smooth in transition, great finisher at the hoop, good getting into the lane. Good shot lacks great quickness

3) Trae Golden – McEachern, 6-1, 190-pound guard. Committed to Tennessee. A physical, athletic guard, strong. Needs to improve range on his jumper and get better at distributing the ball.

2) Ryan Harrow – Walton, 6-0, 158. Committed to North Carolina State. Needs to gain weight but an extremely crafty player with the ball in his hands. Super quick, an uncanny ability to finish at the hole. Good shooter, tremendous handle.

1) Jelan Kendrick –Wheeler, 6-6, 180. Good shooter, great athlete and great off the dribble. Great length needs to add strength. Good mid-range game.
