<p>The class of 2023 has had a lot of movement in the rankings, a lot of guys who have proved themselves to be better then there past rank. Here are the biggest stock boosting wings from the Colorado 2023 Rankings Update.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="921102" first="Corbin" last="Garver"]- Air Academy</strong></p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="921102" first="Corbin" last="Garver"] made a big jump moving up just over 20 spots. Corbin is a 6’5 wing who does not mind doing the dirty work for his team. On both ends of the floor, Corbin has great instincts when rebounding the ball and is a guy if you do not get a good box out on him you can bet he’ll grab the offensive board. Defensively Corbin uses his length to block shots, he is good at blocking shots on the ball and off of the help side. Offensively he is good at finishing through contact and has a solid shot from beyond the three-point arc.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1420177" first="Jasper" last="Padia"]- Arvada West</strong></p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1420177" first="Jasper" last="Padia"] had a great junior campaign being one of the top scorers in his class. At the wing Jasper has very good height standing at 6’5, he is able to use this height and good footwork to shoot over smaller defenders for mid-range pull-ups. Jasper is a player who uses the mid range a lot, he can stop on a dime and uses mismatches to bully smaller defenders. Near the rim Jasper is a very good finisher off of one foot and has a quick first step that allows him to blow by defenders.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="969435" first="Nathaniel" last="Owen"]- Belleview Christian</strong></p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="969435" first="Nathaniel" last="Owen"] is a wing who has improved a lot since the last rankings, especially stepping up his confidence. In his junior season he averaged 5 blocks per game, leading all juniors in the state. From outside Nathaniel is someone you cannot leave open, he also has a high release allowing him to shoot over defenders. Nathaniel has stepped up his off ball movement being a good slasher, he also has started to finish above the rim more and more often.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1151703" first="Radek" last="Homer"]- Mountain Vista</strong></p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1151703" first="Radek" last="Homer"] is a very good athlete who can play the wing and both guard spots. Standing at 6’1 Radek plays taller then he is, he uses his athleticism to make exciting help side blocks. With the ball in his hands he has shown potential to be a very good passer. Radek plays fundamentally sound, using triple threat and jabsteps to his advantage. Radek will be a player to watch out for to have a big year at Mountain Vista next year.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1325652" first="Theron" last="Coleman"]- Air Academy</strong></p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1325652" first="Theron" last="Coleman"] is a super athletic two guard who can fill multiple roles on a team. Off of the ball Theron has very good senses on when to cut. Then when at the rim he seems to hang in the air, and is a good finisher through contact. Theron is also a player who makes highlight plays, he has some shifty handles and uses his bounce to finish above the rim. Most importantly he is a great teammate who can play whatever role his coach asks of him.</p>
