Spring Rankings Look-In: 2023 Shooting Guards

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"small"} --> <p class="has-small-font-size"><em>The featured image is of [player_tooltip player_id='59735' first='Kirsten' last='Clark'] (2023) of Ben Davis High School.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last Monday we released the Spring rankings update for the Class of 2023. We have also changed formats to make rankings more exclusive, therefore at this time we are ranking just 125 total players in the Class of 2023, with the rest being placed on a watchlist of 125 players. This is the last list to be released for the Class of 2023 before they head off to college. In the meantime, I wanted to take this time to circle back and address all of the listed prospects, position by position. Below is a look at 48 shooting guard prospects who make up 19.2% of the rankings this time around, with analysis on a handful to "keep an eye on" detailed at the bottom.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

She possesses strength, quickness, and creativity, plus she can take on a variety of roles.

She has some touch around the perimeter, plus she can put it on the floor and attack the basket North/South. Defensively, she can take on bigger guards, wings, and some undersized forwards, and she does a nice job of rebounding her position.

She is a fairly strong wing guard, she is a nice North/South athlete, and she can attack the basket straight-line with intent and draw contact. She also possesses some touch around the perimeter, making her really good in ball-screen situations.

She has an athletic frame, some length, and she moves well in most directions. She always plays with a motor, and she shows some skillful versatility as well. She can occasionally handle the ball and initiate the offense, she can get to the basket, knock down shots from deep, plus she has a nice mid-range pull-up.

With that said, she can also handle the ball a little and initiate the offense, plus she does a nice job of using her length to affect passing lanes defensively and keep people from penetrating.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-644a71ab3b412"} /-->
