Gabe Sisk Gabe Sisk 6'5" | SG Ballard | 2023 #232 Nation CA-N , Ballard – Ballard is off to a good start at 3-1 and Sisk is a big reason why. The Junior is averaging 24 points per game on 53-45-82 shooting splits and 6 rebounds per game. Gabe appears to be on a mission to impress high major coaches and get some new offers to go with his current offers from Iona and EKU.
Justin Becker Justin Becker 6'6" | SF Robertson County | 2022 State KY , Robertson County – You won’t find many players in the state who can match up with Becker statistically after 4 games in his Senior season. Probably the most valuable player in the state to his team, Justin is averaging 34 points and 13 rebounds per game while shooting 58% from the field. The smallest school in the state could be home to 2022’s Mr Basketball if he keeps putting up those numbers.
Christian Doerr Christian Doerr 6'3" | SG Evangel Christian | 2024 State KY , DuPont Manual – Doerr is a new name to me and wasn’t in our latest rankings update but that will change soon. The Sophomore is off to a hot start, averaging 21 points and 6 rebounds per game while shooting 65% from the field through a 3-0 start for the Crimson.
Cade Stinnett Cade Stinnett 6'3" | SG Greenwood | 2022 State KY , Greenwood – The Gators are off to a 4-0 start and Cade is a large reason why. The 6’3 Senior has been impressive in averaging 26 points per game but also out-dueled Reed Shepard and North Laurel over the weekend with 33 points in a big road win.
