Continue ReadingContinuing our positional breakdown of the new class of 2022 rankings, we move towards the best wings. This particular position has not had a ton of change in our new rankings, but several players have seen their stock rise heading into their junior seasons. Along with a diversity of other skills, this is a group that largely excels at putting the ball in the basket, and does so in a variety of ways.
Jaileyah Cotton Jaileyah Cotton 5'6" | SG Bardstown | 2022 State KY , Bardstown- A player who has shown plenty of talent, Cotton has yet to quite put it all together for a true breakout season. She struggled with injuries last season and never quite got into a rhythm even when she was playing. If Cotton can stay healthy and improve her efficiency as a result, her production should match her standing as one of the state’s best prospects.
Lacey Bradshaw Lacey Bradshaw 5'8" | SF Notre Dame | 2022 State KY , Notre Dame- Possibly the best pure slasher in this class, Bradshaw has seen her stock shoot up over the last year thanks in large part to her ability to get to the rim seemingly at will and produce points once she gets there. She also has good court vision and sometimes runs the offense for the Pandas, as well as being an above-average defender. If she adds more of a jump shot, Bradshaw’s game will become as complete as anyone in the state.
Mia Hale Mia Hale 5'9" | SF Estill County | 2022 State KY , Estill County- Someone who embodies the do-it-all nature of a wing, Hale has already emerged as her team’s leader in most areas. Like most on this list, her foremost talent is scoring the basketball something she does at an elite level. She is already the top offensive option on her team and has thrived with that responsibility. It is scary to think how good her scoring will be if she is able to take her game up another level.
Macie Feldman Macie Feldman 5'9" | CG Notre Dame | 2022 State KY , Notre Dame- While her teammate Bradshaw has excelled as a slasher, Feldman provides the Pandas with plenty of outside shooting. She has one of the best shooting strokes in the state and is great at getting open for a shot, whether on her own or off of a pass. If she can improve her skills in other areas of the game and become more well-rounded, Feldman can emerge as a potentially elite prospect.
Timothi Williams Timothi Williams 5'7" | SG Great Crossing | 2022 State KY , Great Crossing- One of the most well-rounded players on this list, Williams posses all of the skills one looks for in a wing, scoring from multiple levels, passing and rebounding well, and playing above-average defense. Where she has room to improve is by stepping up as the top player on her team and improving her volume after excelling as a role player thus far.
