Winston-Salem, NC (Future150) -- 2019 PG Chaz Gwyn of Winston-Salem Prep (NC) is emerging into one of the best point guards in the state. After a slow start to the season, Gwyn has been nothing short of fantastic. In his most recent heroics, he drained a game winning three pointer in the semifinal game of the North Carolina state playoffs.
"The season started out rough, I wasn't performing like usual," Gwyn said. "I had to get used to the pace of the game."
Going straight to the varsity basketball level after middle school can be a rough transition at times, but the best players learn how to adapt quickly and are able to contribute almost immediately.
"I'd say about halfway through the season when I got my first start and scored 30 points was when I took off," Gwyn said. "I've been having really good games, and the team has been winning ever since."
These improvements just didn't magically happen to allow Gwyn to be able to get up to speed playing against bigger and stronger opponents. There was work that needed to be put in.
"I wasn't all that great at finishing around the rim," Gwyn said. "But working on my strength and explosiveness during the summer really helped out."
Even though Gwyn has followed up a fantastic summer with a stellar freshman season, he hasn't seen much recruitment activity like fellow freshman AAU teammates Mike Green and Wendell Moore.
He knows his time is coming soon and knows this is really only the beginning.
"I haven't had any recruitment activity, but a lot of people have been sending me invites to elite camps," Gwyn said. "I'm sure it's coming soon."
Continue to follow along with Future150 as we track Gwyn's progress heading into the Spring as it shouldn't be too long before he starts adding interest and offers to his school list.
