Positional Breakdown: 2022 Shooting Guards
Mason Asher
Our updated rankings for the 2022 class is now out. We pushed the number of shooting guards ranked from 20 to 21 and saw just a big of movement within the top five. Below you can find the positional rankings for each player as well as a breakdown of the position overall. I’ll also highlight three players who have a good chance to move up by the end of the season.
Emma Gipple Emma Gipple 5'8" | SG Dowling Catholic | 2022 State IA is a very solid guard for Dowling Catholic. She looks much more confident with her play this winter and seems to be more confident in her play so far this season. She’s a dynamic guard who can score the ball really well, handle it, and is a very solid defender. Gipple has improved quite a lot over the past year. Macie Downing Macie Downing 5'7" | SG Johnston | 2022 State IA doesn’t get a lot of run for a loaded Johnston team but she proved herself over the summer as a very viable option at the guard spot. She has a solid basketball IQ and can make plays both with and without the ball. I think she is a solid defender with the ability to guard both guard spots very well too. Emma Anderson has been a big part of the Woodward-Granger success this season. She is an aggressive guard who can take the ball to the rim or shoot it from the outside. She can slide between both guard spots really well but I think her ability to guard those bigger players helps her be able to play on the wing as well.
