Neff, a 6-foot-2 senior, has been a do-it-all guy for the surging Black Tornado, who currently sit at 15-1 and look to be postseason contenders. The experienced combo guard is a versatile offensive weapon, with the ability to create shots for both himself and his teammates. As one of the most consistent scorers at the 6A level, Neff is a big reason why the Tornado is dangerous.

Bryce Dyer Bryce Dyer 6'5" | PF North Medford | 2022 State OR (2022 North Medford)

While Neff provides steady production from the backcourt, Dyer has been an enforcer in the paint all season for the Tornado, picking up double-doubles left and right. At 6-foot-5, Dyer makes his presence felt inside with unwavering effort and a great nose for the basketball. Additionally, the senior forward possesses a polished skill set for a big, finishing with touch and shooting from longer range on occasion.

Devon Malcolm Devon Malcolm 6'4" | SF South Medford | 2022 State OR (2022 South Medford)

During his senior campaign, the high-flying Malcolm has shown no signs of slowing his production at the high school level. The 6-foot-4 forward is undoubtedly one of the best athletes in the state, and his ability to run and jump with anyone have made him an intriguing prospect for college coaches throughout his high school career. Although the senior is still polishing his ball-handling and outside shot, his physicality and ability to play bully ball inside have allowed him to dominate the SWC this year.

Junior Sleezer Junior Sleezer 6'2" | CG South Medford | 2022 State OR (2022 South Medford)

Alongside Malcolm, Sleezer has been a steady two-way player at the guard position for the Panthers, who are currently 12-2 thanks to their dynamic senior duo. At 6-foot-3, Sleezer possesses a great frame for the next level, and flashes of outstanding athleticism have made him even more appealing for college coaches. During a January matchup with South Eugene, the senior guard threw down multiple exciting dunks, including an off-the-glass alley-oop.

Brennen Neyt (2022 Eagle Point)

At 6-foot-4, Neyt has been the go-to guy for the 13-2 Eagles, who have been the surprise team of 5A this season. The senior swingman handles the ball and shoots very well for his size, projecting as a small forward at the next level. Additionally, Neyt has been a capable rebounder and playmaker for the Eagles, who have consistently relied on the senior to carry a big load offensively.

Colton Vranes (2022 Crater)

For the 13-4 Comets, Vranes has been the main man, handling point guard duties and scoring well for one of 5A’s top contenders. Now a senior, Vranes has spent all four years on the varsity team, and has blossomed into one of the top guards in the classification. At 6-foot, Vranes plays with terrific pace, often catching opponents off-guard in transition, and his ability to get to the foul line makes him even more dangerous as a scorer.

Tate Broesder (2022 Crater)

This season, Broesder has emerged as a terrific first or second option for Crater, who appear to be a favorite in the MWL. A 6-foot-5 forward, Broesder is a skilled player inside, with great touch and an effective spin move to either hand near the rim. In addition, Broesder has shown flashes of outside shooting this season, making him an intriguing prospect for the Comets.
