Continue ReadingThe 2024 Rankings for positional players at the small forward position has been updated. Here’s a quality group of players that could eventually grow into other positions as they move forward in their development.
Zion Sensley Zion Sensley 6'8" | SF Archbishop Riordan | 2024 State #124 Nation CA-N 6’7 of Prolific Prep.
Sensley a recent transfer to the power house prep school is one of NorCal’s top prospects in this class, and is a nationally ranked player. He’ll spend his court time refining, and tooling his skill set working from the wings, and perimeter. Strengthening his body, and practicing everyday with college ready players should see a rise in his development. He has multiple DI offers.
Ahsan Huff Ahsan Huff 6'6" | PF Vanden | 2024 State CA-N 6’6 of Vanden HS.
Huff has put himself on the radar with his work over the summer. He has work to do, but he’s on the upswing. No longer just a player defending the post, and working for rebounds. He’s made improvement on the offensive side of the ball. Improved ball handling, attacking the rim in transition and on the wings. A developing mid-range jumper.
Jase Butler Jase Butler 6'4" | PG Branson (Ross, CA) | 2024 State #120 Nation CA-N 6’4 of Branson HS.
We really like the versatility of Butler, standing 6’4 he has a series of moves that makes him an effective post player. He’s a decent ball handler with good vision, and passing in the open court. He’s tough on the drive, playing through contact, and has a nice mid-range jumper. He’s growing and continues to expand his outside game. He can defend multiple positions, and will rebound.
Cortevious Taylor Cortevious Taylor 6'6" | SF Granada | 2024 State CA-N 6’5 of Archbishop Riordan HS
Tayler is a big body that can have his way inside, he’s strong and hauls in rebounds at a good rate to start the transition break. He has the strength to finish with guys hanging on him. He can make the shot from the 3-point line when he ventures out at times to show he can shoot it. He has a solid low base and can guard in the post. He might be closer to a power forward right now.
Anthony Lacy Anthony Lacy 6'5" | SF Oakland | 2024 State CA-N 6’4 of Oakland HS.
Lacy is starting to fill his frame. The long armed player gets up the court in a hurry filling lanes in transition. He’s either looking to finish with a basket or going toward the rim for rebounds. He’s only 6’4 right now, but he’s got some shot blocking abilities. He has length and plays the passing lanes. He can defend in the post and on the perimeter.
Richard Banks Richard Banks 6'4" | PG Weston Ranch | 2024 State CA-N 6’3 of Weston Ranch HS.
A long athlete with a good wingspan. He has to polish up his offensive skills, but he has a basketball body. He runs the court, helps with the rebounding is a good defender. He has good lateral movement, and foot speed to stay in front of defenders. He’s a good player to use up top in trapping situations.
Tobias Aisien Tobias Aisien 6'4" | SF Bishop O'Dowd | 2024 State CA-N 6’4 of Bishop O’Dowd HS.
Aisen has plenty of upside to his game, he’s on the raw side, but he gives good effort, running the lanes in transition, going after rebounds, and put backs. He has good intensity, and works hard at defending his position. He’s at a top program, and will continue to develop his skill set.
