BIG B’s Top 10 Most Talented Seniors Still Remaining

Brian Jones of Score Atlanta Fame drops another Top Ten list, this time the most talented seniors remaining in the GHSA playoffs. 4A and 5A Semifinals can be seen on gpb.org/sports. I'll have the second two games Wednesday and Thursday LIVE from the Gwinnett Arena.

10) Brianna Banks: 5-9 Point guard out of Fayette County. Tremendous ball skills and scoring ability. McDonalds All-American. Will play Chattahoochee in Final Four on Wednesday in Gwinnett. I think Brianna leads her team to another victory. Singed with UCONN;

9) DeArica Hamby: 6-3, forward out of Norcross. Can be a really effective scorer, but sometimes doesn’t start. Signed with Wake Forest. She gets a top Campbell team on Thursday;

8) E. Victor Nickerson: 6-6, 175-pound SF out of Norcross. Committed to Charlotte. Great body, can shoot, and take his man off the dribble, also a top defender. Shutdown Ronald Wamer of PT Ridge, but needs to improve skills with the ball. Norcross gets a No. 2 seed in Valdosta on Thursday;

7) Devon Provost: 6-3, 175-pound SF out of Miller Grove. Athletic guy who can defend and score in transition, and attacking the rim. No offers. Has a great battle with James White, Arkansas Little Rock commitment, and Rasham Suarez, who’s going to Georgia Southern;

6) Kevin Ware: 6-4, 167-poung SG out of Rockdale. Committed to Tennessee. He gets Fayette County on Wednesday, which means he gets top scorer/SG Adam Smith (North Carolina Wilmington);

5) Malcolm Brogdon: 6-5, 200-pound SG out of GAC. Committed to UVA. Good all-around player. Gets Swainsboro, a No. 1 seed, down in Macon on Thursday;

4) Shannon Scott: 6-2, 175-pound PG out of Milton. Committed to Ohio State. Does it all. Milton gets Tift County in Gwinnett on Thursday. Tift has victories of 13, 4, and 14 points so far;

3) Dai-Jon Parker: 6-3, 170-pound SG out of Milton. Committed to Vanderbilt. Gets Tift County in Gwinnett on Thursday;

2) Julian Royal: 6-8, 225-pound PF out of Milton. Committed to Georgia Tech. Gets Tift County in Gwinnett on Thursday. Who’s the best of the three?

1) Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: 6-6, 185-pound SG out of Greenville. Committed to Georgia. He gets an epic showdown with top-ranked Wilkinson County in Macon on Wednesday at 5:30. Had 40 in last outing.
