Team Preview: Greater Beckley Christian

#14 Azel Carmichael (2022)

6’0” SG

Carmichael will come off the bench this year for the Crusaders. Carmichael is a high energy guard who has good instincts defensively, rebounds well and finishes well around the rim.

#25 Sean Kadjo (2022)

6’5” WF

Kadjo is someone who does a little bit of everything. Offensively, Kadjo is a streaky shooter, has a solid handle and good court vision. Defensively, he can defend wings and bigs. D3’s should reach out.

#10 Sherlock Padmore (2023)

6’8” C

Padmore has the measurements to be a really good player. He is 6’8”, has a good frame and long arms. Offensively, his game needs improvement, but is already solid going over his left shoulder. Defensively, he does a great job contesting and changing shots at the rim. D2’s should inquire.

#4 Tamiko Robinson (2023)

5’9” G

Robinson is another guy who comes off the bench and brings a ton of energy. Tamiko is an undersized guard who does a great job at applying pressure to ball handlers. Robinson has great speed and is a solid shooter off the catch.

#42 John Rose (2023)

5’10” SG

Rose is in his 3rd year on varsity at GBC. Each year he has increased his role. This year Rose is someone who GBC will look to bring a ton of energy and make shots. Rose shoots the ball well off the catch and off 1-2 dribble pull ups and is a deceptively good offensive rebounder. Defensively he applies a ton of pressure to ball handlers and plays extremely hard.

#5 Kaden Smallwood (2022)

6’0” G

Smallwood is one of the best senior guards in the state. He is the leader on this GBC team. Offensively, he scores from all 3 levels, is one of the best shooters in the state, has a good handle and is a solid passer. Defensively, he can defend either guard position. MEC schools should be all over Smallwood.

#3 Kendrick Wilson (2024)

5’10” PG

Wilson who holds an offer from North Carolina A&T looks to be among the best point guards and players in the state regardless of class. Wilson, a transfer from Half Hollow Hills West (NY) is a high IQ guard who scores from all 3 levels and does a good job involving his teammates. Defensively, he does a great job at applying pressure to ball handlers and gets a ton of steals. Mid major D1 programs should inquire.
