The small forward position in the greater Seattle area is very strong for the class of 2022. There is a nice mixture of players with length, shooting ability, athleticism and upside. Each of the players highlighted below are top 35 level players in the state and multiple are top 15 prospects for Washington’s junior class. <h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Top 2022 Small Forwards In Seattle</strong></span></h3> 6’1 SF [player_tooltip player_id="27954" first="Avery" last="Watkins"] (Kennedy Catholic HS) - One of the top athletes in the state for the 2022 class. Watkins has an ideal strong, long and athletic frame that helps her to rebound and explode to the basket really well. She has all of the tools to help a Division 1 program and if she starts knocking down the three ball consistently, she will be a real problem for opponents. 5’11 SF [player_tooltip player_id="144532" first="Jada" last="Walters"] (Bothell HS) - The state's top stock riser over the course of the last couple months with her recruitment exploding. Walters is strong attacking the basket and she has good body control finishing around the basket. She has also shown the ability to knock down multiple threes in a single game. A Division 1 prospect in her class. 5’11 SF [player_tooltip player_id="156428" first="Tatum" last="Thompson"] (Woodinville HS) - One of the state's biggest sleepers, but Thompson is the type of player that helps a program win games. She defends, rebounds, handles and can knock down the jumper when she is looking for her own shot. An outstanding utility player that is also a Division 1 level prospect. 6’0 SF [player_tooltip player_id="27955" first="Jadyn" last="Watts"] (West Seattle HS) - Elite level genetics with both parents playing at UW and her grandfather being a Seattle Sonics legend. Watts has outstanding length and strength to go along with good jumping ability. Her shooting stroke is very smooth and she can get hot from the outside. She has a little less game playing experience than some others, but the tools are all there to continue to develop and grow. 6’0 SF [player_tooltip player_id="27931" first="Naomi" last="Hall"] (Kentridge HS) - Another 6'0 wing that can get hot from deep. Hall possesses solid strength and she can play the 3 or 4. A pick and pop type of player that does a good job rebounding on defense. She can hit the turn around jumper out of the mid post as well.
