As the new season of the 2024-25 Georgia boys high school basketball season draws closer we thought it best to familiarize the state with the latest crop of exciting freshmen with our list of 15 players to watch in South Georgia this season.

Chase Brown, St. Andrew’s

6-3 wing is rated very effectively where he can switch around and play any positions in his team at a high level. The left-hand shooting guard has a rim and fadeaway jumper inside-out game that can pull up as well as dunk. He will be pretty amazing to watch as the season progresses forward in the future.

Brycen Burns, Vidalia

The season’s scoring point guard from Vidalia High School took charge from the floor as a defender in the floor. It turns burns can demonstrate that they can shoot from ranges and be unrelenting on the offense end of the floor.

Other attributes of the 5-9 point guard are possession of a smooth handle and varying degrees of speed play. He has good mechanics on his shots, and he could put the ball in the basket on the three levels on the offense side as well. Be careful with this kid as he is still progressing and he will be in his freshman year of high school.

Austin Dennard, McDonough

6-5 wing is a left-hand, right, and a great positional size for the typical modern position system; at his best when able to face up and attack the heart of the defense. In defense, there was a display in how well he can move to deny the other team and as a shot blocker he was the most dangerous. 

Drew Dodd, Jackson

Dodd is an efficient shooter when he can knock down threes off the catch and move without screens. Transitioning from offence to defense and back, he can play both guard positions which insight a great basketball intelligence that enable him to read defenses. His precision passing also remains in the right track as well as size does not affect him hence will improve on the floor.

Caden Easter, Arabia Mountain

6-1 combo guard, plays the game very mature, and can handle both on and off the ball situations with great proficiency. Easter is an ultra aggressive guard where he can dunk at the front of the rim as well as shoot touch shooters when left open on the perimeter.

Page Getter, St. Andrew’s

The 6-1 wing is that flexibility at leading protecting it where he can cause the opposition to take a low percentage shot. On the attack, he handles the ball well where he has a nice up and over move that takes defenders off the floor with his ability to finish above the square. And he also demonstrated great footwork ability in terms of without the ball mobility.

Bobby Harpring, Marist

The 5-10 combo guard is an excellent, mobile player with great knowledge of the game of basketball. The guy can hit anything from the paint all the way outside the arc and he has a plethora of dribble moves he can employ. His ability to be a real-time prospect is unfolding right before our eyes in which he might start receiving some college attention in his early years at high school.

Bryson Jatta, Hillgrove

I hope Jatta is a big-time athlete, and he certainly had the bounce with several transition dunks on display. He hit several three-point shots and also we saw glimpses of him driving towards the basket in the half court.

Kylen Mays, Mary Parsons

The point guard Cooper is 6-2 tall and he is a real Swiss knife a small and fast fellow possessing a rather positive attitude and feeling with the ball in his hands. Mays is equally a three-level scorer who is a versatile player that can provide many different contributions on the court. Defensively he has a aggressive manner when it comes to guarding on and off the ball even though he loves to play passing lanes.

Braylen Perry, Mary Parsons

The 5-9 guard is all round performer in the court being either the initial ball handler or the second for the team. Perry has a high-IQ and having elite court vision has moved the game to another level for him.

Karon Plummer, Houston County

The 6-3 combo guard is another tasty blend of structure, size and agility on the floor. He is a good passer of the ball and makes good passes most of the times and ensure his team-mates are active on field. t address, he has all it takes to be the best all around prospect for this year’s freshmen.

Braylon Williams, Buford

The Brazilian born 5-9 point guard plays with some speed and pace and always looks for his teammates on the floor. His comfortability running the lead-guard position has intensively grown increasingly for his value. Last season Williams played huge role for team Buford as a point guard being an 8th Grader.

Jarvis Williams is a New Central from Macon.

The 5-10 point guard is the hard-nosed player who is very much involved in the defensive area of the game and especially, when it comes to scoring there is no way he will shy away in getting to the body of some player in order to score for his team. Williams becomes very animated while guarding the passing areas where he can get tips with his long arms converting into scores at the other end.

TJ Woodson, Carver

The finished above the rim on every point guard and he can pop or bounce and get it done at the hole 6-2. On the defense side, he is fast and a natural, when attacking the passing lanes, he relies on his speed to strip his opponents and score from the other end.
