Rankings By The Numbers – 2021

<p>Ranking prospects is a difficult, controversial, and thankless task for basketball scouts.  Earlier, we took a look at the class of 2020 rankings in a different way - by the numbers. We found key numbers on the list and glanced at the player that filled that spot. Now we'll do the same for the class of 2021.</p> <p></p> <h2>1</h2> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="611404" first="Kobe" last="Bufkin"] (CG, Grand Rapids Christian)</strong></p> <p>Bufkin was a fast riser this spring and summer. He's become a top 100 recruit and a national target. Bufkin is an athlete with a smooth lefty stroke.</p> <h2>10</h2> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="611420" first="Julian" last="Lewis"] (G/F, Ann Arbor Huron)</strong></p> <p>Lewis is another quick rising prospect. He's one of the top perimeter defenders and rebounding guards in Michigan. He should see an influx of Division 1 offers. </p> <h2>25</h2> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="811105" first="Marcus" last="Wourmann"] (PG, East Lansing)</strong></p> <p>Wourmann is too often overlooked and should be considered one of the top point guards in the junior class. He's a strong ball handler that keeps it low and protected. </p> <h2>50</h2> <p><strong>Damon Terrell (PF, Communication Arts &amp; Media)</strong></p> <p>This young man is a value at 50. He's a long leaper that can play above the rim. </p> <h2>75</h2> <p><strong>Bryce VanderWiere (PF, Schoolcraft)</strong></p> <p>VanderWiere is a nice physical presence in the paint. He's active on the glass and moves well on defense. VanderWiere has a nice mid range jumper to go with it. </p> <h2>100</h2> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="814593" first="Kaleb" last="Mitchelson"] (CG, Muskegon Reeths-Puffer)</strong></p> <p>Mitchelson is a big value at this number. He's a physical driver that can dish off penetration. </p> <h2>125</h2> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="814619" first="Tyler" last="Belskus"] (F, Saline)</strong></p> <p>Belskus is an athletic combo forward. He's always around the rim on a shot and is a confident shooter from the corners. </p> <h2>150</h2> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="814644" first="Derrell" last="Woods Jr."] (PG, Taylor Trillium)</strong></p> <p>Woods Jr. is always capable of having a huge night. He's a prolific score first type point guard that can play at any pace. </p> <h2>175</h2> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="814669" first="Dion" last="Ross"] (PG, HFASCS)</strong></p> <p>Ross is a smooth athlete at the shooting guard position. He's fast with the ball and can get hot shooting.</p> <h2>200</h2> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="814695" first="Jacob" last="Moceri"] (SG, Warren De La Salle)</strong></p> <p>Moceri is another young man that is a steal for a college coach at this number. He takes advantage of scoring opportunities and doesn't need the offense to run through him to put up double figures. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
