Rankings Review: 2023 2-Guards

<span style="font-size: 8pt;"><em>The featured image is of [player_tooltip player_id="96078" first="Asia" last="Donald"] of Hobart High School and Example Sports UAA (IL).</em></span> The Class of 2023 has a strong group of perimeter players, and currently our Top-150 is home to 32 2-guard prospects who make up 21.3% of all 2023 prospects ranked in Indiana. It is their job to attack the basket, score, and make shots around the perimeter, but several of them can also run offense when necessary. Below is a look at those 32 prospects, as well as some added information and analysis on a handful of girls who have stood out since our last rankings update in December. &nbsp; <table style="border-collapse: collapse;

She served as a nice role player as a Freshman, but she stepped into a starting/starring role as a Sophomore, nearly doubling her scoring. She looks stronger, more assertive, and she can score it at all three levels consistently. &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Stock-Risers</strong></span> <b>[player_tooltip player_id="59729" first="Savanna" last="Bischoff"], Roncalli H.S. -</b> Savanna is the younger sister of 2021 Indiana All-Star <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="62532" first="Madelyn" last="Bischoff"]</strong>. Savanna is a long, wiry strong, fluidly athletic kid who has always played with some feistiness in her game. But now she looks stronger, more explosive, and much more well-rounded skillfully. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="96079" first="Taylor" last="Fordyce"], Carroll H.S. (Fort Wayne) -</strong> I know I have raved about Taylor’s play in a couple of recent articles, but she has been so good it’s worth pointing her out again. She looks stronger, leaner, and more explosive in all directions. She is very skillful, plus she has a great motor and a nice basketball IQ. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="127211" first="Emily" last="Mattingly"], Evansville Memorial H.S. -</strong> Emily was the second leading scorer and shot 45% from 3-point range on the team that won the Hall of Fame Classic and started the year 13-0. She is strong, aggressive attacking the basket, plus she has a nice motor and is willing to play physical. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="241189" first="Cadence" last="Thomas"], Decatur Central H.S. -</strong> Cadence has put together a strong start to the grassroots season, and she is playing with great confidence. She is a physical athlete with some length, and while she was probably more of a shooter a year ago, she has become a playmaker who can also run offense. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="127241" first="Tori" last="Thompson"], Lafayette Central Catholic H.S. -</strong> Tori is another kid who has done a nice job of transitioning from being more of a shooter to becoming a complete guard. She has a nice handle and playmaking ability, good length, and fluid athleticism. She is still a knockdown shooter from outside, though. &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Keep an eye on...</strong></span> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="203655" first="Maci" last="Chamberlin"], Blue River Valley H.S. -</strong> Maci moved in from Winchester last Summer, and she made a huge difference for the Vikings. She is a fairly strong, smooth-shooting guard. She is a solid on-the-floor athlete, she plays with a motor, and when she does handle it, she has very good vision/awareness. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="96078" first="Asia" last="Donald"], Hobart H.S. -</strong> The state is still unfamiliar with Asia’s game, but she can really go. She’s one of those kids who I think once she’s able to play in front of Division-I coaches this July, she will see her recruiting take off. She is a wiry strong, explosive kid, with good quickness and playmaking ability. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="127227" first="Olivia" last="Leas"], Blackford H.S. -</strong> This lefty is a nice athlete who has led Blackford in scoring each of her first two seasons. She has a wiry strong frame, length, and she plays with a motor. Her jump-shot is consistent, and she shoots it with range. By playing this Spring/Summer, I think her game could really improve. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="59775" first="Hailey" last="Smith"] &amp; [player_tooltip player_id="59776" first="Olivia" last="Smith"], Fishers H.S. -</strong> The twins have been nothing but a menace to their high school opponents over the last two Winters. A few colleges have been to Fishers for workouts, but I think once they get into the July live periods, they’ll start drawing a lot more interest. Both of them are aggressive players with great toughness and defensive prowess. Hailey is probably more of a slasher/scorer, while Olivia is a little better on the ball right now.
