<p>The 2021 class is full of big time scorers. Here’s a quick look at some of the best bucket getters in the Senior class.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="923023" first="Spencer" last="Baird"], Casey County - </strong>More slasher than shooter, Baird can bully his way to the rim and finish through contact as well as convert an And-1 at the line. Spencer is also one of the best in the state at getting to the free throw line where he averages an incredible 9 makes per game.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="604116" first="Ben" last="Johnson"], Lexington Catholic - </strong>Possibly the most valuable player to his team in Lexington, Johnson is a front runner for Mr. Basketball next season. Ben does it all for Catholic, leading them in nearly every statistical category.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="773408" first="Zion" last="Harmon"], Marshall County - </strong>Perhaps the most well known player to come through the state in several years, Zion is a dynamic playmaker who I personally think is an even better passer than he is a scorer. Harmon can really score the ball at a high level and has "in the gym" range on his shot.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="793786" first="Mason" last="Moore"], Rowan County - </strong>Possibly the most overlooked player in the 21 class, Mason has over 2,000 career points and could top 3,000 before he graduates. He’s a versatile scorer who can score the ball from all over the court. </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="793828" first="Sam" last="Vinson"], Highlands - </strong>Vinson went from off the radar to holding 2 D1 offers in the span of his Junior season. Capable of scoring the ball at all three levels, Sam can get into the paint and finish or create open looks for others. </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="922991" first="Scotty" last="Draud"], Beechwood -</strong> Draud is a big guard who can score from range or take his defender to the block and score. At 6’7, Scotty can score over a smaller defender or attack a forward off the dribble.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="923006" first="Jevonte" last="Turner"], Knox Central - </strong>A shifty playmaker, Turner is a strong guard who can play either guard spot and gets downhill against about anyone. One of the most athletic players in the 13th region, Turner has D1 upside and could play his way on to the radar for schools at the D1 and D2 level.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="923000" first="Sam" last="Conley"], Spencer County - </strong>Conley has a reputation as a big guard who gets to the rim but he’s overlooked for his shooting ability. Getting downhill against defenders is what he does best but Sam has become a more well rounded scorer over the past couple of seasons.</p>
