Bobbi Smith Bobbi Smith 5'9" | CG Southeast Raleigh | 2022 State NC – Guard
Smith had a strong sophomore campaign for Southeast Raleigh alongside Anya Poole Anya Poole 6'2" | PF Southeast Raleigh | 2020 State NC (North Carolina) and Jamia Hazell Jamia Hazell 5'8" | CG Southeast Raleigh | 2020 State NC (James Madison) as they made the 4A State Title game once again. She’s a sharpshooter and crafty playmaker on the wing that can do damage when she finds her rhythm. The Carolina Flames squad was set to utilize her and another huge backcourt threat in Indya Nivar Indya Nivar 5'10" | SG Apex-Friendship | 2022 State #59 Nation NC .
Indya Nivar Indya Nivar 5'10" | SG Apex-Friendship | 2022 State #59 Nation NC – Guard/Wing
Nivar is a high-level prospect that’s already surpassed 2,000 points in her high school career at Apex Friendship. She’s a prospect that can core on it all three levels at an efficient rate and doesn’t let up on the defensive end, either, constantly applying pressure on the ball. She was set to make a name for herself on the EYBL circuit.
Amiya Joyner Amiya Joyner 6'3" | PF Farmville Central | 2022 State #67 Nation NC – Forward
Joiner led the Farmville Central Lady Jaguars all the way to the 2A State Final before things were shut down due to the Coronavirus and just finding her stride on the hardwood. She’s a 6-foot-2 forward that can move well in the open court and a back to the basket threat in the halfcourt. With a talented Team Curry group, she would only show off more of her abilities.
Imani Lester Imani Lester 6'3" | PF North Raleigh Christian Academy | 2022 State NC – Wing/Forward
She’s a forward that can fill up the stat sheet in a variety of ways with her ability to score, rebound and distribute in the frontcourt. She surpassed the 1,000-point plateau as a freshman during her high school season and on a much more talented squad like the Carolina Flames, she was set to do more damage on the EYBL circuit.
Sammy Ackles – Forward
Ackles is a mobile forward at 6-foot-3 that can score it in the paint and protect the rim at a high level. She put up 13.2 ppg, 9.2 rpg, 3.6 bpg, 1.4 apg and 1.3 spg during her sophomore season at Holly Springs. It would have been fun to watch Ackles alongside Joiner in the frontcourt for Team Curry this grassroots season, but now we can only wait.
