GHSA 5A Season Preview: 2022 Player Rankings

<p><strong>GHSA Season Preview: Player Rankings 2022</strong></p> <p>As the 2020-21 GHSA high school basketball season quickly approaches we will breakdown each classification based on our updated player rankings, highlighting the Top 100.</p> <p><strong><u>Class 5A</u></strong></p> <p>The drop from 7A and 6A to 5A is stark as only nine juniors find themselves ranked in the Top 100. No. 15 [player_tooltip player_id="870153" first="TJ" last="Grant"] is the 2022 class’ highest ranked player. The 6-foot-6 wing is an exceptional two-way player that led Veterans to their best record in school history a year ago. No. 23 [player_tooltip player_id="1050038" first="Daniel" last="Pounds"] skyrocketed in the rankings and could climb even higher. He is a solid D-I prospect with his size and motor, even his ability to hit the three. No. 36 [player_tooltip player_id="820313" first="Chi" last="Shannon"] has a chance to remind people who he is as he’s back at Chapel Hill and will be a key piece right away for Coach Rodney Latham. Cass could be a Top 10 team in Class 5A behind No. 43 [player_tooltip player_id="870189" first="Zaylan" last="Chaney"]. The 6-foot-6 wing has inside-out talent and has loads of potential. No. 56 [player_tooltip player_id="870187" first="Simeon" last="Cottle"] is undersized but Coach Omari Forts says he’s the second-best player on the team behind Vanderbilt-commit [player_tooltip player_id="869578" first="Peyton" last="Daniels"]. No. 52 [player_tooltip player_id="1043319" first="AJ" last="Barnes"] and No. 68 [player_tooltip player_id="598752" first="Fabian" last="De Silva"] represent Eagle’s Landing. No. 74 [player_tooltip player_id="598786" first="Cristian" last="Willis"] and No. 89 [player_tooltip player_id="1045095" first="Autrey" last="Barnes"] will see increased roles at their respective schools.</p> <p><strong><u>2022</u></strong></p> <p><strong>15.
