<p>The new 2022 rankings are out.</p>
<p>This season ended up being a short AIA season, a full Grind Session season, a condensed CAA season and a longer AAU season with showcase formats.</p>
<p>This 2022 class is hoping the same thing doesn’t happen to them as the 2021 class and have a few live periods in the summer. Either Section-7 or AAU tournaments. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We look at the Top-10 SG’s in the 2022 class:</p>
<p>1. [player_tooltip player_id="1074744" first="Shaedon" last="Sharpe"] <strong>Dream City </strong></p>
<p>-One of the top juniors in the country makes it look easy. His pull-up from mid-range is a thing of beauty as he rises higher then anyone in state and has range on his three. </p>
<p>2. [player_tooltip player_id="701238" first="Garrison" last="Phelps"] <strong>St. Mary’s</strong></p>
<p>-Another high flyer is one of the better athletes in the AIA. He loves attacking the cup and defends the top player on every team. His perimeter shooting keeps improving. </p>
<p>3. [player_tooltip player_id="706704" first="Dominic" last="Capriotti"] <strong>Phhoenix Prep</strong></p>
<p>-A deep shooter has verbally committed to <strong>Northern Colorado.</strong> He sets his feet quickly and launches from the parking lot. He plays a smart game and physical inside to rebound. </p>
<p>4. [player_tooltip player_id="826996" first="Patrick" last="Chew"] <strong>Brophy Prep</strong></p>
<p>-A strong high IQ guard is tough as they come. He is a top rebounder for his position and plays with a high motor plus he can shoot. </p>
<p>5. [player_tooltip player_id="827004" first="Blessing" last="Nwotite"] <strong>Paradise Honors (Pictured) </strong></p>
<p>-A top defensive guard loves scoring it in the lane. He is rapidly improving his perimeter shooting and will defend the 1-4 for the Panthers. </p>
<p>6. [player_tooltip player_id="827033" first="Nikko" last="Pentelute"] <strong>Gilbert</strong></p>
<p>-A tough and fearless guard had a great year. His mid-range game is one of the better ones in the AIA and he makes and takes big shots. (He was my Co-big shot maker in 5A). </p>
<p>7. [player_tooltip player_id="1074790" first="Stephen" last="Coleman"] <strong>Hillcrest Prep</strong></p>
<p>-An athletic guard can shoot it. He de-committed from Siena and re-classed to 2022. He has a good frame and can get downhill plus play above the rim. </p>
<p>8. [player_tooltip player_id="1135488" first="Reginald" last="Orr"] <strong>Millennium </strong></p>
<p>-Another top notch defender has good length and athleticism. He has a good motor plus can shoot the 3 and slash to the cup. Should have a breakout year next season for the Tigers. </p>
<p>9. [player_tooltip player_id="1029812" first="Anderson" last="Wilson"] <strong>Glenview College Prep</strong></p>
<p>-A jack of all trades lefty guard is very versatile. He can play the point forward role or two-guard. He can pull-up off the dribble from mid-range. hit the 3 and get downhill plus play above the rim. </p>
<p>10. [player_tooltip player_id="1030345" first="Chase" last="Mayo Harmon"] <strong>Glenview College Prep</strong></p>
<p>-An athletic shooter had a good season. He has a floater game and hits the 3 easily. He gets up on the break and is active on defense. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>5 Others:</p>
<p>1. [player_tooltip player_id="827035" first="Shamar" last="Moore"] <strong>Peoria </strong></p>
<p>-A stronger wing with good length. He has a nice looking jumper and he will defend. He can handle it, play above the rim and shoot it with range. </p>
<p>2. [player_tooltip player_id="701264" first="Jayden" last="Warren"] <strong>Phhoenix Prep</strong></p>
<p>-One of the more physical defenders in the class. He has long arms, wider shoulders and strong hands. He will fight inside vs post players and lock up on the perimeter. He likes getting downhill and can make the catch-3. He is a sneaky good passer. </p>
<p>3. [player_tooltip player_id="933470" first="Cameron" last="Harris"] <strong>Bella Vista Prep</strong></p>
<p>-A strong framed guard who attacks off the bounce scoring through contact using his body/frame. He is streaky shooter from deep and can pull-up off the dribble. He plays hard on both ends. </p>
<p>4. [player_tooltip player_id="976833" first="Kemp" last="Van Es"] <strong>Phhoenix Prep</strong></p>
<p>-One of the deeper shooters in the class. He has range for days from beyond the volleyball line. He is primarily an all catch and shoot type of shooter but his handle and athleticism are slowly improving as he ages. </p>
<p>5. [player_tooltip player_id="936769" first="Cameron" last="Coraggio"] <strong>Horizon</strong> </p>
<p>-A long and lean shooter is another with a pure stroke. He has a little wiggle to get passed his defender and score it. He relocates to open spots and the son of a coach plays a smart floor game. </p>
