Isaiah Hicks Garner Road Bulldogs

You might not have heard much about Isaiah Hicks, but he intends to change that. Hicks is 6’8″ and fluid, a dunker who explodes to the rim and is the kind of athlete that gets fans anticipating something on a breakaway; if Hicks is trailing on the break, you know something exciting could, and probably will, happen. Isaiah has made no secret that right now he’s primarily focused on UNC, one of the three major college programs within minutes of where he plays his high school and AAU basketball.

Isaiah is extremely effective in transition, which is why he’s so dangerous on the break. His fluid ability to get up and down the court and finish at the rim makes him an easy target for a point guard. See Isaiah’s ability for yourself in today’s exclusive highlight video:
