Updated Class of 2022 Rankings: Top Wings

<p>The Class of 2022 rankings have been updated and it’s time to take a look at the top players by position. Here’s a look at the top wings for this iteration of the rankings.</p> <p><strong>#6 - [player_tooltip player_id="857345" first="Donatello" last="Tupper"] (2022 Roosevelt)</strong></p> <p>Tupper has continued to make the transition to the wing, where he’s able to utilize his length and athleticism at the rim. The 6-foot-4 lefty really attacks the basket and can also get hot from three-point range at times. With his length he has the potential to be a lockdown defender and his overall motor continues to improve. Tupper will be heavily counted upon this upcoming season at Roosevelt.</p> <p><strong>#14 - [player_tooltip player_id="857347" first="Aidan" last="Slater"] (2022 Central Catholic)</strong></p> <p>Slater is a deadeye shooter and can nail shots from well beyond NBA three-point range. He had some big games this season including the bright lights of the Les Schwab Invitational, so he’s used to playing under pressure. He’s well built which helps on drives to the hoop and on the defensive end. At 6-foot-1 he will eventually need to develop point guard skills but he is working hard on those to become more of a combo guard.</p> <p><strong>#17 - [player_tooltip player_id="1079528" first="Peter" last="Burke"] (2022 Tualatin)</strong></p> <p>Burke burst onto the rankings after we saw him play in a couple of events with Elite 24. Standing 6-foot-4 with a strong build, he’s actually very nimble on his feet and possesses outstanding ball-handling and passing skills. With his size he’s effective on the boards and with interior defense and is a threat to go coast-to-coast after grabbing the defensive rebound. Burke specializes in the pull-up jumper when he looks to score.</p> <p><strong>#18 - [player_tooltip player_id="857352" first="Dezman" last="Baker"] (2022 Mountainside)</strong></p> <p>At 6-foot-3, Baker has the length, ranginess, and athleticism to be a lock-down defender and the ability to guard multiple positions. On the offensive end, he’s most effective creating off the dribble and finishing around the rim but has started to develop consistency with his outside shot.</p> <p><strong>#24 - [player_tooltip player_id="857355" first="Jordan" last="King"] (2022 Central Catholic)</strong></p> <p>King is a talent on the football field but will once again be a key contributor on the Rams basketball team this season. The 6-foot-3 junior specializes in spotting up for three as he has a smooth stroke from the outside but he can also put the ball on the floor and finish around the rim. He has steadily taken on more responsibilities at Central Catholic and that will continue in 2020-21.</p>
