2023 Rankings Update: New Additions Part 3

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1424106" first="Vincent" last="Garrett"] | Lincoln High</strong></p> <p>Garrett succeeds as a second-side creator. When the initial action gets the defense moving and the ball is swung to Garrett, he loves to get downhill and work his way to the rim. He has solid defensive awareness away from the ball and he makes timely rotations which often deter a shot from even being attempted. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1424103" first="Carter" last="Kelley"] | North Platte</strong></p> <p>I can already say right now that Kelley’s debut at 112 in the rankings is probably too low. The more I’ve watched him and thought about his game, the more I realize he is a Top-100 player. He runs like a deer, blocks shots, knocks down 35% of his threes, and makes dunking look far too easy. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1424109" first="Anthony" last="Earth"] | South Sioux City</strong></p> <p>There wasn’t much that [player_tooltip player_id="1424109" first="Anthony" last="Earth"] was unable to provide his team this season. He had team-highs in minutes played, points, assists, steals, and 3FG%. He is playing on OSA’s Adidas Gold team this summer and I can’t wait to watch him in that context.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1424110" first="Jonny" last="Puelz"] | Lincoln Lutheran</strong></p> <p>Puelz has nice size for a point guard which allows him to score in a variety of ways. He shot 38% from three on almost 5 attempts per game, but he was more than willing to back down the opposing point guard and post him up. I like his shooting stroke. He gets it up quickly, and he maintains control of his body even while shooting off-balance.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1424102" first="Cole" last="Kramer"] | Sandhills Valley</strong></p> <p>Kramer was one of the best players in Class D basketball this season. He can dribble, score, protect the rim, and is a terrific rebounder. While not a great outside shooter, he hit 30% of his shots so he is not a liability if the ball finds him open on the perimeter.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1424099" first="Benji" last="Nelson"] | Wahoo</strong></p> <p>I went to a Wahoo game to check in on [player_tooltip player_id="1131117" first="Marcus" last="Glock"], and I left thinking about his athletic, skilled teammate on the wing. Nelson can shoot it off movement, he can attack off the catch and beat everyone to the rim, and he had a few nice dunks in traffic. There’s a lot to like in this player and I’m excited to watch him this summer.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1424111" first="Luke" last="Kasten"] | Potter-Dix</strong></p> <p>Kasten had 15 double-doubles this season, which included a stretch of 9 straight and a 28-point 21-rebound performance. He made big strides at the free-throw line this season. He hit 73% of his freebies after 65% and 62% marks in his freshman and sophomore years.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1424101" first="Viktar" last="Kachalouski"] | Parkview Christian</strong></p> <p>The Patriots’ shooting guard had some impressive per-game averages as a junior: 15.3 points, 4.9 assists, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.1 steals. His offensive efficiency leaves some to be desired, but he makes up for it some with his ability to turn defense into offense. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1424108" first="David" last="Boatman"] | Omaha Burke</strong></p> <p>Boatman has a lot of rounding out to do, but he has a lot of tools to work with. He is a great athlete who can run and jump with the best of them. The basketball instincts are not there yet, but on several occasions, he was able to cover up his mistakes with freakish recoveries. He might commit too hard to the ball-handler, but he can flip his hips and get back to his man quickly to secure the block anyway. </p>
