Continue ReadingThe most loaded position group for this class, there is a great depth of interior players among this year’s juniors. All of these players have great size and ability on the inside when it comes to both scoring and rebounding. Having this talented of a crop of post players in one class, especially still early in their careers, means there should be outstanding interior play in the state for years to come.
Kennedy Lee, DuPont Manual- Lee possesses all the traits one looks for in a center, possessing a great blend of size and athleticism to go along with plenty of natural talent. She is already one of the state’s best rebounders, and should continue to get even better in that area, and has a chance to cement herself as top scorer too as she gets more and more opportunities.
Halle Langhi Halle Langhi 6'1" | C Marshall County | 2022 State KY , Marshall County- Another dominant player, Langhi has perhaps had the most on-court success of anyone in this class, proving herself to be a dominant go-to player even this early in her career. Her scoring and rebounding are already elite, and she has even shown flashes of long-distance shooting that would make her unstoppable.
Rachel Presley Rachel Presley 6'2" | C South Laurel | 2022 State KY , South Laurel- The model of what wants in a center, Presley isn’t as flashy as others on this list but does all of the things she needs to, and does them extremely well. Where she’s at her best is on the defensive end where her shot-blocking ability makes her one of the state’s best rim protectors.
Patience Laster Patience Laster 5'10" | PF Franklin County | 2022 State KY , Franklin County- Another more traditional post player, Laster plays as physically down low as anyone in the state, pushing around older, more experienced players with regularity. She may not be as versatile as others on this list, but for anyone in need of a physical presence who can rebound and get some buckets, she fills those needs perfectly.
Anaya Brown Anaya Brown 6'0" | C Lafayette | 2022 State KY , Lafayette- With physical skills suited to a modern style of basketball, Brown may not throw her weight around like others on this list but she still has great size and some of the best athleticism amongst these bigs, making her a great rebounder and strong scorer. She does play a more traditional style, but showing the ability to step out and get her own shot more could take her to the next level.
