Wings/Bigs to Watch at the 3A Playoffs

<p>There are some great teams and great matchups in this year’s 3A field. Here are some big guys to watch on the big stage:</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1139921" first="Jim" last="Dorsey"], junior, Wellsville:</p> <p>Dorsey has exploded this year. He’s only been held to less that 17 once in the last 10 games. The 6-foot-5 junior has been so consistent this season, and he’s a great complement to veteran <strong>Jackson Showalter</strong> and <strong>Kaden O’Neil</strong>. He is capable of big outbursts – he has several games of 23 or more. Wellsville hasn’t played many close games this year, so it will be fun to see what the Eagles do when challenged.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1139917" first="Jevon" last="Hill"], junior, Wichita Trinity:</p> <p>The 6-foot-8 Hill isn’t necessarily a post-up banger, but he’s probably the top ‘big man’ at the tournament this year. He’ll have a few inches on nearly everyone who guards him at the tourney, and that might spell trouble, as he can get his shot off from deep. He’s shown he can be an elite threat from behind the arc, even hitting eight 3-pointers in one game. Hill is a tough complement to [player_tooltip player_id="1146284" first="Bryson" last="Perez"] on the wing and gives the Knights a lot of diversity.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1072881" first="Jayce" last="Korf"], senior, Hugoton:</p> <p>Hugoton has a lot of weapons, and Korf is one who can really light it up from the perimeter. The honorable mention 3A returner is a smooth 6-foot-3 veteran who can take the ball inside off the bounce or take the shot on the catch or off the dribble. He is a patient and team-oriented player so he’s not always lighting it up. But he’s a solid and versatile wing who can do a lot of things.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1080164" first="Tyler" last="Little"], sophomore, Galena:</p> <p>The 6-foot-5 Little was there a year ago when Galena was making a run at the state title. He’s back again after earning honorable mention in 3A as a freshman. Like teammate [player_tooltip player_id="1076403" first="Brett" last="Sarwinski"], Little is a multi-sport star who has spent a lot of time on the big stage already. He can do a lot on the perimeter and in the lane, and he excels running the court. His combination of length, athleticism and skill makes him one of the top sophomores in the state.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="891912" first="Nahcs" last="Wahwassuck"], junior, Royal Valley (pictured):</p> <p>The 6-foot-5 junior isn’t necessarily a ‘wing,’ because he has the ball in his hands all over the floor, and he’s so good at directing the attack. But at his size, he’s much more than a pure point guard. He plays above the rim and can rebound and guard big men. He’s got a solid outside game, but he really excels taking the ball to the rim.</p>
