<p>A creator is a player that can generate offense consistently for the team. Most of the time, this type of player is looking to pass or create for others, even if they are a great scorer themselves. Here is a breakdown of the top creators from the recent <strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/virginia/rankings/2023-rankings/">Virginia 2023 rankings</a></strong> update. </p>

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2>#1 | [player_tooltip player_id='999616' first='DeShawn' last='Harris-Smith'] | Paul VI</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It feels like Harris-Smith is wearing the infinity gauntlet at times when watching him dictate a game. He has a powerful frame, is so explosive, and is sharp with his decision-making. A split-second hesitation and Harris-Smith leaves you in his dust. </p>

<h2>#8 | [player_tooltip player_id='992530' first='Trevor' last='Smith'] | Woodside</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Smith has long been considered a top-tier floor general in the Commonwealth. He can't be sped up. Smith keeps his dribble alive, his head up, and can quickly release the ball to get a teammate open. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2>#9 | [player_tooltip player_id='1115503' first='Greg' last='Jones'] | Hayfield</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The trait that makes Jones such a dangerous proposition for opponents is his playmaking. Some of the passes he makes, many will never have seen. Jones just has that unique eye for a pass that can't be taught. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2>#17 | Cam Cole | Highland</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Cole is extremely skilled and consistent. He is geared towards making the correct play more often than not. The Midshipmen are getting a good one in Cole. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2>#68 | [player_tooltip player_id='999656' first='Jadon' last='Burgess'] | Harrisonburg</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Burgess is a team player who will not hesitate to get others involved. He impacts winning by bringing teammates into the game and transmitting his relentless energy among them. </p>
