The strange, frustrating end to the 2019-2020 basketball season affords @PrepHoopsTN time to reconsider and revise. Time to revisit the Class of 2020 rankings and adjust to account for the player’s growth and stagnation. Rankings are subjective. Why did we rank these guys? Why are they at this spot? Take a look at several Class of 2020 prospects and learn a little about their reputation.

#11 Joe Anderson Joe Anderson 6'0" | PG Maryville | 2020 State TN (Maryville)
Signed to Furman. Exceptional floor general. Wonderful first step. Incredibly quick hands. Joe is perhaps the best passer in the state, or right there with Will Pruitt Will Pruitt 6'1" | PG Mt. Juliet | 2020 State TN (Mt. Juliet). Anderson was the best scorer on Maryville and as such he was not making all of the uncanny, sharp passes that he can make. With a team full of elite talent like him, Anderson has and will completely take over a game via the pass. Anderson’s future will be fun to follow.
#12 Kavion McClain Kavion McClain 5'6" | PG Whitehaven | 2020 State TN (Whitehaven)
Freak of an athlete. Players like Kavion just don’t show up every season. His explosion is incredible. Kavion’s explosive hops are wild to witness, but what is less apparent to the onlooker is his speed with the ball in his hands. Defenders know too well how McClain’s speed dismantles defenses. Kavion played a big part of Whitehaven’s program the last three years. He is a wonderful talent with that rare ability to take over a game. Volume scorer.
#13 B.J. Marable B.J. Marable 6'9" | PF Grace Christian | 2020 State TN (Grace Christian)
Came into his own as a player in the final two years of his high school career.
#14 Marvin Hughes Marvin Hughes 6'1" | PG McGavock | 2020 State TN (McGavock)
Unsigned. Elite point guard with raw power and insane mental toughness. Hughes scored 2,000+ points in his career. Scored a 34 on his ACT. Would have finished in the top 10 if he was an elite outside shooter or his team advanced to the state tournament.
#15 Bo Montgomery (Lausanne Collegiate)
Will play D1 basketball. Bo is a tall combo guard. Athletic. The skills and talent to be higher, but he did not dominate consistently like he is capable of during his AAU seasons and parts of his high school career. Of these five players, Montgomery possesses the most room for immediate growth as a basketball player.
