Continue ReadingIn the Class of 2023 there are at least 17 players that hit 30 three-pointers or more. Those underclassmen will increase their scoring output this year but some of the players closer to the top scoring a large amount of three-pointers against respectable competition are the ones that pop. Here is a list of players that were excellent in the class from long range.
#5 PHU || 6’0 Quentin Meza Quentin Meza 6'0" | PG Cyprus | 2023 State UT || Cyprus High School ||
Quentin hit 56 three-pointers last season and tallied over 500 points this past year. Crazy to say this but expect more out of Quentin this year. His range and accuracy has increased and his play making creativity reached a new level this past Spring and Summer. Could see him get into the 60’s when it comes to three’s and also a deeper run in the playoffs could really bolster his scoring as well. Impressive shooter that does other things as well.
#34 PHU || 6’0 Maddux Albers Maddux Albers 5'11" | PG Hillcrest | 2023 State UT || Hillcrest High School ||
Maddux is another player that is a bit under the radar when it comes to a player that has next level potential. He is a major piece in taking Hillcrest to the next level. He has vision and you add his shooting ability to it he could really turn some heads this year. With shooting being an absolute necessity at the next level Maddux makes his case as a prospect. Look for Maddux not only to increase his three-point shooting output but also his percentage as a better decision maker.
#14 PHU || 6’5 Chudi Anosike Chudi Anosike 6'5" | CG Murray | 2023 State UT || Murray High School ||
While Chudi is known to slash and do other things his shooting has really not been talked about. He is a good solid all-around player that can absolutely shoot the ball. At 6’5 he can shoot over a lot of players closing out on him. Keep an eye on Chudi as he has an opportunity to increase his stock, especially if he continues to shoot the ball well.
#35 PHU || 6’0 Jaxson Workman Jaxson Workman 6'0" | SG Murray | 2023 State UT || Murray High School ||
Pick this kid up once he crosses half-court because he is in range. Jaxon was one of the top making three-point shooters in the state this past season. He hit 56 three-pointers. What is impressive about his shooting is that he has his feet ready at all times as he is always ready to shoot when he catches the ball. Good out of kick-outs and also good off the dribble. Makes good reads coming off of the pick n’ roll as well. Look for a lot of the same this up-coming year.
#75 PHU || 6’2 Cole Roberts Cole Roberts 6'1" | CG Cedar Valley | 2023 State UT || Cedar Valley High School ||
A little under the radar but Cole can score the ball from deep. 3/4 of his points came from beyond the arc and if this trend continues he will be a player that really attracts a lot of attention from deep when he touches the ball. Look for Cole to add to his game that will free him up. Hitting 50 three’s last season was great. Excited for him to expand his game and that number.
