High school basketball in Atlanta continues to produce a ton of talent. During the 2010 – 2011 season, four prospects stood out above the rest. Two are seniors and two are juniors. Two are post players, one is a point guard, and one a versatile wing player. They are all heavily recruited.
1. Nick Jacobs, South Atlanta High School. Jacobs is a beast in the post. At 6 – 8 and weighing 260 pounds, he is a man among boys. His post moves are still raw but he is strong, athletic, and has good hands. Jacobs averaged 23 and 13 during this, his senior season. He committed to Alabama.
2. Marcus Hunt, North Clayton. Clayton, a junior 6 – 5 wing, is athletic, versatile and possesses a high basketball IQ. He averaged 25 points a game this season.
3. Tony Parker, Miller Grove. Parker, a 6-8 270 pound junior, is a man among boys down low. He averaged 20 and 17 last season and is being recruited by Duke and UMC.
4. Shannon Scott, Milton High. Scott is a 6-1 point guard headed to Ohio St. He’s a quick, heady, and hardworking point guard with a good handle and high basketball IQ.
