2022 Rankings Update: The Newcomers (Part I)

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1234965" first="Gibson" last="McEwen"] | SG | Central DeWitt (139)</strong></p> <p>A versatile scorer, McEwen is a 6-1 wing who is a bit of a streaky shooter, but he's had some really strong moments this summer with the Iowa Mavericks. A talented passer who sees the floor well, he also led Central DeWitt in assists and steals as a junior.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1234966" first="Cade" last="Grevengoed"] | SG | Valley (140)</strong></p> <p>A physical off-ball guard, Grevengoed had some good moments for the Tigers at the Winterset Shootout, showing his ability to play downhill and get to the bucket for tough finishes. On a deep Valley team, minutes may be inconsistent, but he did show some potential on both ends of the floor.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1234967" first="Dawson" last="Lewis"] | SF | Cardinal (141)</strong></p> <p>A long, athletic wing who can score from all three levels, Lewis has the ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor. The key for him will be becoming more consistent. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1234968" first="Austin" last="Gaffney"] | C | Storm Lake (142)</strong></p> <p>Gaffney is a big, 6-7 interior presence who blocked over two shots a game as a junior. He can score around the rim, control the glass, and showed the ability to stretch the floor a little bit as well.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1161172" first="Miles" last="Kading"] | SG | ACGC (156)</strong></p> <p>Kading averaged 11.2 points a game as a junior for the Chargers, but his efficiency numbers weren't very good (36-28-49 shooting splits). During his play at the Top 64 Summer League, he has shown that he has become a much more efficient scoring threat, and he looks primed to have a huge senior year for ACGC.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1234969" first="Masen" last="Ryan"] | SF | Johnston (157)</strong></p> <p>A 6-3 wing with length and the ability to stretch the floor, Ryan didn't play much as a junior for a loaded Dragons team but has been productive with Pure Prep in the summer. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1234970" first="Wil" last="Lugar"] | SF | Cherokee (158)</strong></p> <p>A do-everything 6-2 wing, Lugar led the Braves in scoring, rebounding, assists, and blocks as a junior, while shooting 38% from behind the arc.</p> <p><strong><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/03/Andrew-Oltmanns-crop-2786x1829-1615342726-crop-548x360-1615342740.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1147572" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/03/Andrew-Oltmanns-crop-2786x1829-1615342726-crop-548x360-1615342740-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a>[player_tooltip player_id="1234971" first="Andrew" last="Oltmanns"] | SG | Western Dubuque (161)</strong></p> <p>Oltmanns was a quality role player for a very good Bobcats team last season, showing the ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor with his length and IQ. He gets into passing lanes, rebounds on both ends of the floor, and does a good job moving off the ball to find open spaces in the defense. With three of the top five scorers graduating, Oltmanns will have a larger role in the offense as a senior.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1234972" first="Jacob" last="Auen"] | PF | Valley (162)</strong></p> <p>Auen played limited minutes as a junior for a deep Tigers team but figures to play a bigger role this year. A 6-6 big man who provides some physicality in the paint, he has good hands and a big, physical frame that he uses effectively on the defensive end and on the glass. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1234973" first="Sam" last="Dvergsten"] | SG | Storm Lake (163)</strong></p> <p>A high-level shooter, Dvergsten knocked down 44.2% of his 3-point attempts for the Tornadoes as a junior. He moves well off the ball and has a quick release off the catch.</p>
