<p style="text-align: center;">Here is my list of the Top 10 best ranked players in 2021 and who their game emulates in the NBA. </p> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <h2 style="text-align: left;">10</h2> <p><a class="pn-player-link" href="https://prephoops.com/player/rayquan-taylor/"><span class="name-pointer">[player_tooltip player_id="801054" first="RayQuan" last="Taylor"]</span></a> 6’8″/ PF Carver-Montgomery<br /> Taylor is a lean and slim forward that can finish around the basket with consistency. His presence in the paint is known.</p> <p>NBA Player Comparison: Mo Bamba</p> <h2>9</h2> <p><a class="pn-player-link" href="https://prephoops.com/player/dj-fairley/"><span class="name-pointer">[player_tooltip player_id="887008" first="DJ" last="Fairley"]</span></a> 6’1″ / CG Hoover<br /> Fairley earned all-state recognition this past season because of his ability to make others around him better. His basketball IQ is well rounded, which helps him make smart decisions on the court. Leadership is all over Fairley. </p> <p>NBA Player Comparison: Dennis Schröder</p> <h2>8</h2> <p><a class="pn-player-link" href="https://prephoops.com/player/riley-leonard/"><span class="name-pointer">[player_tooltip player_id="886965" first="Riley" last="Leonard"]</span></a> 6’4″ / SF Fairhope<br /> Leonard is already a two-sport athlete, so every time he steps on the floor, his athleticism is going to stand out. He is always jumping out the gym and he loves to finish with a mean one-handed dunk around the rim.</p> <p>NBA Player Comparison: Blake Griffin</p> <h2>7</h2> <p><a class="pn-player-link" href="https://prephoops.com/player/taye-fields/"><span class="name-pointer">[player_tooltip player_id="886967" first="Taye" last="Fields"]</span></a> 6’3″ / CG Lee-Huntsville<br /> Fields is a very skilled combo guard that plays physical nonstop. His body is big and solid, which helps him take advantage of his opponent in the paint.</p> <p>NBA Player Comparison: Kevin Love</p> <h2>6</h2> <p><a class="pn-player-link" href="https://prephoops.com/player/trinity-bell/"><span class="name-pointer">[player_tooltip player_id="886963" first="Trinity" last="Bell"]</span></a> 6’7″ / PF Albertville<br /> Bell has excellent hands for a post player, which is good because it makes it easier for his teammates to get him the ball. His finishes around the basket are always fierce and dominant, making it intimidating.</p> <p>NBA Player Comparison: Dwight Howard</p> <h2>5</h2> <p><a class="pn-player-link" href="https://prephoops.com/player/joshua-williams/"><span class="name-pointer">[player_tooltip player_id="801047" first="Joshua" last="Williams"]</span></a> 6’3″ / PG Sidney Lanier<br /> Williams has the right size for a point guard who will play on the next level. He has poise when stepping on the floor, which helps him control the game and create scoring opportunities for himself.</p> <p>NBA Player Comparison: Colby White</p> <h2>4</h2> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="723758" first="Keshawn" last="Murphy"] 6’9″ / SF Ramsay<br /> Murphy towers over the majority of his opponents at 6’9, and that gives him a huge advantage. With that height, he adds superior speed that makes him a threat in a fastbreak.</p> <p>NBA Player Comparison: Pascal Siakam</p> <h2>3</h2> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="763034" first="GaQuincy" last="McKinstry"] 6’1″ / SG Pinson Valley<br /> McKinstry is a freak athlete. His speed and quickness is no match on the floor. His explosion after a move is powerful, which makes it easier for him to get a bucket.</p> <p>NBA Player Comparison: Collin Sexton</p> <h2>2</h2> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="613494" first="Brody" last="Peebles"] 6’2″ / CG Hartselle<br /> Peebles is going to put on a show in anybody’s gym. He is a reliable scorer who is going to step up and make plays for his team.</p> <p>NBA Player Comparison: Tyler Herro</p> <h2>1</h2> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="763031" first="JD" last="Davison"] 6’3″ / PG Calhoun<br /> Davidson is a pure all-around scorer. He is the scariest player in the state to guard. Always come prepared to defend this guy.</p> <p>NBA Player Comparison: Ja Morant</p>
