2022 Rankings: Top Wings

<p>With the newly updated 2023 rankings coming out this week, let’s jump into some positional breakdowns. Here’s a look at the top Junior wings. We are going to skip over the players in the Top 10 of the class since those players have already been broken down in our Top 10 article.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="801613" first="Tyson" last="Barrett"], Frederick Douglass - </strong>One of the biggest stock risers this season, Barrett has gone from barely seeing the varsity floor to becoming one of the most important pieces for the Broncos. The 6'7 wing is athletic and long and has a great nose for the ball as he finds his way to over 10 rebounds per game and has shown the ability to score the ball inside and out.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="926895" first="Cade" last="Stinnett"], Greenwood - </strong>One of the more underrated players in the state, Stinnett is not going to wow anyone with athleticism but he is super skilled and has a very high IQ. Cade can score the ball all over the floor and impacts the game in several ways. With his high academics, Stinnett should have a lot of college doors open for him.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="926890" first="Colby" last="Fugate"], Paintsville - </strong>Well on his way to being one of the better players to come out of the mountains in the last decade or so, Fugate has seen his scoring numbers dip a little this season but he still hovers around 20 points per game. As a multiple sport athlete who excels in all 3, Colby is likely to have multiple opportunities to play in college.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="926888" first="Bryce" last="Riley"], Bardstown - </strong>A big wing shooter, Bryce has seen his individual production decline some this season but he's actually shooting the ball better overall thanks to having more talent around him to help with the scoring burden. Riley is a player that has a high ceiling thanks to his great size and build but he's got to become more of a slasher and less of a catch and shoot player.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1009765" first="Joel" last="Iles"], Newport Central Catholic - </strong>Joel is a solid college prospect thanks to having great positional size and the ability to shoot at a high clip but he has to get more aggressive as a driver and get to the free throw line more to evolve his game. Iles is among the best 2022 prospects in the Northern Ky area.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Other Names to Know:</strong></span></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="926919" first="Brady" last="Bell"], Russell - Bell has good size and a good motor. He will be interesting to evaluate against non-mountain competition.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1009767" first="Jackson" last="Shoulders"], Lyon County - Shoulders doesn't get as much praise as he should but he's a very solid contributor on a good Lyon team.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="926894" first="Casey" last="Steadmon"], Jeffersontown - Casey is long and athletic with a good motor and IQ. Has potential to play scholarship level in college.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="801616" first="DJ" last="Tilford"], Ballard - An early breakout for Tilford this season bodes well for his upcoming AAU season where he will have a chance to impress coaches.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="926922" first="Hagan" last="Webb"], Boyle County - A high IQ wing who can be a playmaker with the ball in his hands. High academic schools should monitor him.</p>
