<strong>Player Rankings Update: 2023 New Additions Pt. 1</strong>
<strong>22. 6-3 PF [player_tooltip player_id="311549" first="Bailey" last="Gilmore"] – Bradwell Institute
</strong>[player_tooltip player_id="311549" first="Bailey" last="Gilmore"] leaped onto D-I radars as she finished the summer months strong. Lipscomb, South Alabama, Kennesaw State and Anderson have all offered. She has a great build, equipped with length and mobility. Gilmore is a strong athlete that can rim run and also help draw out slower defenders. Gilmore scores with her back to the basket and does a good job keeping the ball high on put back finishes. Bailey has all the measurables to blossom into one of the best bigs in Georgia.
<strong>33. 5-9 CG [player_tooltip player_id="302958" first="Courtney" last="Nesbitt"] – Archer
</strong>The wiry guard has had a strong offseason. Nesbitt is a creative ball handler that gets to her spots. She shoots well off the dribble but also has the shiftiness to get downhill. Nesbitt provides energy on defense as a versatile perimeter defender.
<strong>40. 6-0 PF [player_tooltip player_id="307314" first="Zy" last="Thompson"] – Pike County
</strong>Pike County has a double-double machine in [player_tooltip player_id="307314" first="Zy" last="Thompson"]. She's long and strong, quick off her feet when contesting shots and gobbling up rebounds. Her activity and effort make her tough to handle.
<strong>65. 5-8 SG [player_tooltip player_id="302956" first="Ciera" last="Hall"] – Brookwood
</strong>[player_tooltip player_id="302956" first="Ciera" last="Hall"] is a sneaky good guard that shoots the ball at a high level. Hall gets plenty of open looks playing with [player_tooltip player_id="384285" first="Diana" last="Collins"] and they don't go to waste as she pours in three-point attempts. As Hall gets more comfortable attacking off the dribble, expect her stock to rise more.
<strong>67. 6-1 F [player_tooltip player_id="307060" first="Kendall" last="Emener"] – First Presbyterian Day
</strong>The reigning Region 1-A-Private Player of the Year is a physically dominant forward that can play inside and out. She seals hard inside and has very good hands around the rim. Emener draws fouls as she scores through contact. Kendall can space the floor and shoot the corner three. She could be a name to track moving forward.
<strong>69. 5-10 F [player_tooltip player_id="302963" first="Naomi" last="Roberts"] – White County
</strong>Versatility is a big part of [player_tooltip player_id="302963" first="Naomi" last="Roberts"]' game. She came on strong down the stretch last season with multiple scoring outbursts. Roberts is a good athlete that can attack off the dribble as a slasher, but also can post up and score with either hand. Naomi is a threat from the mid-range. With her lateral quickness she can defend many positions. She has two big seasons ahead of her.
