Rankings Predictions: 2022 Top 5

<p>With several weeks of AAU tournaments under our belts and much more on the horizon for most AAU circuits, several guys have already shown how quarantine has given them a chance to improve their games.</p> <p>With the PrepHoops Alabama rankings set to drop early next month here are my predictions on what the top half of the top 10 could look like.</p> <p><em><strong>No. 1</strong></em></p> <p><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/barry-dunning/">[player_tooltip player_id="890737" first="Barry" last="Dunning"]</a>, 6’6 SF, McGill-Toolen: This is a no-brainer at no.1. Not only is he the best player in the state in the class he is one of the top 25 prospects in the entire country. His length and skill at the wing position coupled with his ability to score in a variety of ways make him the clear cut #1 player in this class.</p> <p><strong><em>No. 2</em></strong></p> <p><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/will-shaver/">[player_tooltip player_id="890740" first="Will" last="Shaver"]</a>, 6’10 PF, Oak Mountain: With a host of High Major D1 offers already this big has shown leaps and bounds over the last year. His added mobility which is a direct effect of his obvious work to his body has made him an even more valuable player both on the inside and on the perimeter.</p> <p><em><strong>No. 3</strong></em></p> <p><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/antonio-kite/">[player_tooltip player_id="725169" first="Antonio" last="Kite"]</a>, 6’2 PG, Anniston: This creative scoring lead guard has really shown the ability to simply be able to put the ball in the basket. He scores in a variety of ways whether off the bounce in iso situations or pushing the pace in the open floor. His added ability to find teammates has helped pick up some recent High Major D1 offers.</p> <p><strong><em>No. 4</em></strong></p> <p><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/knute-wood/">[player_tooltip player_id="890741" first="Knute" last="Wood"]</a>, 6’4 SG, Brooks: His has great size for his skillset and is one of the deadliest if not the deadliest shooters in the class. He can do it off the catch or dribble with parking lot range. His added and continued ability to put the ball on the floor has really made him one of the more complete offensive layers in the class.</p> <p><em><strong>No. 5</strong></em></p> <p><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jquan-broxson/">[player_tooltip player_id="725146" first="J’Quan" last="Broxson"]</a>, 6’6 SF, Geneva County: A grown man! His ability to play big boy bully basketball from the wing position is a nightmare to match up with. His added ability to knock down the 3 ball with consistency has made him a very interesting prospect. With continued work playing off the dribble he could also be hearing from High Majors by graduation.</p>
