Subjects: Product/Service, Personnel, Business UpdateThe Claxton Bank (TCB), a Claxton, Ga.-based community bank that has served South Georgia for more than 80 years, today announced its expansion into North Florida with the opening of its executive office and bank branch in downtown Jacksonville. TCB's office and branch is located at 1 Independent Drive, Suite 1800, Jacksonville, FL 32202.The bank will be known as TCB in the North Florida market. TCB is providing commercial and consumer banking and lending solutions in North Florida, with products and services including checking and savings accounts, treasury management, commercial real estate financing as well as other consumer and commercial lending solutions.The expansion takes place after a group led by Jacksonville-based investors acquired control of TCB in October 2023. In June 2024, TCB's parent company, Southern Bankshares, Inc., closed on a $20 million growth equity capital raise to help drive this expansion into North Florida."Expanding into Jacksonville is foundational to our growth strategy, and I am thrilled we have attracted such a strong and experienced team to serve clients in this growing market," said Scott Verlander, president and CEO of TCB. "Our leadership team, Board and shareholders have deep ties to the Jacksonville community, and we look forward to providing clients with a common sense, relationship-focused approach that can meet their banking needs."The Jacksonville team is led by Market Leader Kim Sole, who brings over 20 years of local commercial banking experience to TCB. The Bank has also hired Grady Marshall as its senior credit leader

Him as the season moves along. They need him healthy for a long playoff run, not for regular season games that they can cruise to victories even without him. With plenty of rest days and limited minutes likely coming his way, now might be the time to try and cash in on the excitement on Porzingis returning by trading him for a more reliable option.Nic Claxton, Brooklyn Nets Claxton entered this season having recorded back-to-back campaigns in which he averaged at least 11.8 points, 9.9 rebounds and 2.1 blocks. He signed a hefty contract extension during the offseason, setting him up to be one of the pieces that the Nets build around. However, a preseason hamstring injury left him to play limited minutes off the bench to begin the season. He is now dealing with a back injury and has missed a total of five games.What you don't like to see with Claxton is that the Nets have sat him in one half of a back-to-back set two times. He is also averaging just 25 minutes per game while bouncing between the bench and the starting lineup. The Nets have been surprisingly competitive this season, but if losses start to build up, we could see even less of Claxton down the stretch. If he gets healthy and strings together a few starts, it might be time to shop him.HoldLaMelo Ball, Charlotte Hornets Ball has scored a combined 94 points over his last two games. For the season, he is averaging 31.0 points and 4.5 three-pointers. His usage rate of 34.3% was hefty last season, but it has shot up to 38.9% this season. In addition to his stellar scoring contributions, Ball has averaged 5.1 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game.There is no questioning Ball's talent. When he's healthy, he is a top-10 fantasy option. While he has Brandon Miller and Miles Bridges playing alongside him, neither of them are a threat to deal a major blow to Ball's usage rate. Bridges is even out right now with a knee injury. The concern with Ball is that he played a total of 58 games the last two seasons because of injuries. While this might seem like an ideal sell-high window, Ball's upside is too just too lofty to consider moving him for anything other than a top-15 fantasy player, at worst. Don't be in a rush to trade him.Anfernee Simons, Portland Trail Blazers Simons is coming off the best season of his career when he averaged 22.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 3.4 three-pointers per game. While he was limited to just 46 games because of injuries, it was his second straight season in which he averaged at
