<p>The new 2024 rankings are out.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We dive into the positional rankings. We move over to the small forwards for the sophomore class. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>A long and athletic group with skill. </p>
<p>Here are the top-8 SF’s in the 2024 class:</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1062311" first="Kallai" last="Patton"] <strong>Maricopa (Pictured) </strong></p>
<p>A wildly athletic wing who can fly on the break. He, like his brother, can play the point forward role and is a star in transition. He makes 3's, he can hit the floater and will defend multiple positions. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1064158" first="Christian" last="Warren"] <strong>Basha</strong></p>
<p>The top shooter on the list will be a budding standout in 6A this season. He can shoot it with range and a quick trigger plus makes good reads and will take charges on defense. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1066495" first="Aeramiah" last="Binford"] <strong>South Mountain </strong></p>
<p>A top notch wing athlete been a steady performer in recent events. His motor is contagious and plays hard on defense. His skill is coming around from the 3pt line and he can throw it down on the break. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1231502" first="Bryce" last="Anderson"] <strong>Sunnyslope</strong></p>
<p>A newcomer for me has a lot to like for the future. He has plus athleticism and he can shoot it. He is a little lean but three years to fill in. His 3pt stroke looks easy and he can drive it decently as well. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1138527" first="TJ" last="Clark"] <strong>Mountain Pointe</strong></p>
<p>A quickly growing wing is all upside. He is a natural defensive wing who was one of the big stock risers. He shoots it a little and can get to the rim with his long strides. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="996171" first="Ezias" last="Steffen"]<strong> Chandler</strong></p>
<p>Another sharp shooter on the list comes with some strength too. He likes the corner 3's but can make pull-ups and rebounds the ball in his area. The Wolves have a young player they can lean on for 3 years. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1124549" first="Jaelen" last="Green"]<strong> Gilbert </strong></p>
<p>The number one stock riser in the class has a versatile game. His defense sets the tone with his game, as he can defend multiple positions, then he can do his transition offense and downhill scoring. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1220377" first="Deavion" last="Tillman"] <strong>Washington </strong></p>
<p>A long and athletic shooting wing can sling it from the perimeter. He is good from mid to the 3pt line and shows natural upside. He will be one to monitor for me. I will be definitely checking out this HS team this AIA season. </p>
