3 Bigs Debuting in the 2023 Rankings

Nearly three dozen players were added to the 2023 rankings.  Among them were three centers and power forwards, each of whom I spotted at the MAYB Summer Kickoff in early June.  Enjoy a look at them. [player_tooltip player_id="450345" first="Lindsey" last="Wisdom"], 5’11", PF, Holton - Wisdom is the highest ranked debuting big, coming in at <strong>#110</strong>.  <span data-sheets-value="{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;MAYB Summer Kickoff 6.10.22 - playing with HS team - Impact player. Solid build with offensive quickness off the bounce especially going her right. Finishes well. Slick reverse layup after an under-the-basket take.&quot;}" data-sheets-userformat="{&quot;2&quot;:4609,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;12&quot;:0,&quot;15&quot;:&quot;Verdana&quot;}">Playing with her high school team she was a clear impact player. Especially to her right, she has quickness off the bounce and uses her solid build to finish through contact.  Her athleticism was on display on a slick wrap-around lay up after an under the basket take. </span> [player_tooltip player_id="450347" first="Emma" last="Prettyman"], 5’10", C, Louisburg - Prettyman joins the ranks at <strong>#134</strong>.  I liked that she hit the challenged short- to mid-range jumper.  She has a quick release and good release spot.  Prettyman has a big frame.  With improvement in overall athleticism in the upcoming years she will be one to watch. [player_tooltip player_id="450399" first="Gabbi" last="Faust"], 6’0", C, Wichita East, KYD - While entering deep in the ranks at  <strong>#178</strong> Faust’s  understanding the game stands out.  She has a substantial amount of growth to make in quickness, transition ability, strength, hops, and post game but having that game understanding is great foundation to start with.  With East graduating of a pair of senior bigs Faust is likely to get more opportunity to show her gains. <span data-sheets-value="{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;6.10.22 MAYB Summer Kickoff - So-so athlete but hit challenged 8’ jumper. Quick release and release spot on mid-range shots. big frame&quot;}" data-sheets-userformat="{&quot;2&quot;:4993,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;10&quot;:2,&quot;11&quot;:0,&quot;12&quot;:0,&quot;15&quot;:&quot;Verdana&quot;}"><em> Featured image: Holton’s [player_tooltip player_id="450345" first="Lindsey" last="Wisdom"] on the finish.
