Vote: Who is the Georgia Boys Basketball Player of the Week (1/15/2024)?

It's time once again to take a deep dive into the Georgia High School Boys Basketball scene to select our Player of the Week. We seek your assistance and ask you to look at this week's candidates and vote for the candidate you find most deserving..

As such, we have 11 athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s Georgia High School Boys Basketball player of the Week award from January 8-13, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected. Voting will conclude on Sunday, January 21st at 11:59 p.m. The winner will be announced in next week's poll.

Editor’s note: Our corresponding poll is intended to be fun, and we do not set limits on how many times a fan can vote during the competition. This poll is specifically for fans to vote on the players that have been nominated and in no way discredits any other player that may not be mentioned in our poll.

Congratulations to last week's winner: Marcus Gillespie of Clark Central.
