Introduction

The class of 2020 is shaping up to be one of the most talented in recent memory. With several top recruits still undecided, there is sure to be plenty of drama leading up to Signing Day Here are the five Tarheel Basketball Recruits who are expected to make the biggest impact:

1. Javonte Smart
Smart is a 6’4″ point guard from Baton Rouge Louisiana. He is ranked as the No. 8 overall recruit in the class of 2020 by ESPN. A talented scorer and playmaker, Smart has the ability to take over a game at any time. He has already drawn comparisons to NBA All-Star Damian Lillard

2. Matthew Hurt
Hurt is a 6’9″ forward from Rochester, Minnesota. He is ranked as the No. 9 overall recruit in the class of 2020 by ESPN. A versatile player who can score inside and out, Hurt should be a valuable asset for any team lucky enough to sign him. He has been described as a “foundational piece” by sports analyst Jerry Meyer.

3. Jalen Green
Green is a 6’5″ shooting guard from Fresno, California. He is ranked as the No. 11 overall recruit in the class of 2020 by ESPN. An elite scorer with unlimited range, Green is one of the most talented shooters in his class. He has been likened to Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson by some analysts.

4. Scottie Lewis
Lewis is a 6’5″ wing from Eatontown, New Jersey. He is ranked as the No.. 19 overall recruit in the class of 2020 by ESPN.. An explosive athlete with a high motor, Lewis should be a terror on both ends of the court at the next level.. His length and athleticism make him an excellent defender, and he has been compared to Houston Rockets star P..J.. Tucker by sports analyst Evan Daniels..
“.5 5 star center 7’0” Nimari Burnett Burnett is originally from Chicago but played his senior year in California at Prolific Prep where he was teammates with current Tarheel Cole Anthony . A physical specimen with a wingspan that stretches nearly 7’6” Burnett has all the tools to be an impact player at the next level.. His offensive game still needs some refinement but there is no denying his immense talent and upside.”
