<p>The 2024 rankings are out.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>We dive into the positional rankings. We now look at the small forwards for the sophomore class. </p> <p>&nbsp;</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 long and somewhat freaky athlete. He has elite speed for a wing forward in the open court and is a shocking good leaper. Like his older brother, he is a very good passer, defender and likes getting into the lane. He can also hit from mid-range.  </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1064158" first="Christian" last="Warren"] <strong>Basha</strong></p> <p>A highly skilled two-way wing who is competitive. He has the sweetest shooing stroke on the list from the 3pt line with sneaky athleticism and length. He defends inside with his strength and on the perimeter with good quicks.  </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1066495" first="Aeramiah" last="Binford"] <strong>Ascending Life</strong></p> <p>A way above the rim athlete seems to glide in the air. He plays with a big motor and endless energy. He rebounds in and out of his area and seems to be in the mix with many 50/50 plays. He can hit the 3 and gets to the basket. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="996171" first="Ezias" last="Steffen"] <strong>Chandler </strong></p> <p>A strong and skilled wing can shoot it from mid to the 3pt line. He can get to the rim and create some for himself off the dribble. He rebounds well and can handle it. He can defend the 3-5 with his strength.  </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1336434" first="Presley" last="Ibeh"] <strong>Highland Prep</strong></p> <p>Another wildly athletic small forward flies in the air. He plays and defends multiple positions and handles it well and makes good reads to his teammates. He scores it unusually well in the paint with contested or awkward shots using his athletic gifts.  </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1138527" first="TJ" last="Clark"] <strong>Mountain Pointe</strong></p> <p>A long defensive minded wing forward. He can handle the ball like a guard and can take a rebound and go coast to coast. He is mostly downhill but has improved his perimeter jumper. He defends nearly any position on the court.   </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1275052" first="Noah" last="Sowunmi"] <strong>Paradise Valley</strong></p> <p>A South Carolina transfer had a good season for the Trojans. He has pretty good size already and flies on the break. He is a natural rebounder in and out of his area with plus athleticism. He uses his quicker hands to bother his opponents on defense. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1193877" first="Ryan" last="Jackson"] <strong>Phhoenix Prep</strong></p> <p>An improving small forward grew two inches in the last year. He is a tough forward who rebounds well and plays his best ball inside but his 3-ball has clearly improved. He is mostly off the catch but can dribble drive to score. </p>
