Wings
Finn Moody Finn Moody 6'5" Ingraham | 2023 WA | Ingraham – The 6-foot-5 wing has a great motor, plus the length and quickness to be an impact defender. The senior had his share of big scoring games this season and can affect the game on both ends of the floor.
Mande Wanlemvo | Auburn Mountainview – The NPSL all-league player is a major athlete and nightly double-double threat. The junior is 6-foot-5 with big burst going to the hoop, complimented by a nice stroke from outside. He is primed to catch some more eyes as his Lions enter the state tournament.
Nate Krohn Nate Krohn 6'4" | SG Eastside Catholic | 2024 State WA | Eastside Catholic – The Crusaders have emerged as one of the favorites in the 3A after seeming to hit their stride at the right time. Krohn is a huge piece of EC’s depth and contributes on both ends of the floor. He’s got great ball skills and anticipation, but most of all, brings a fighting attitude to the floor.
Miles Nelson Miles Nelson 6'6" | SF Northwest | 2023 State WA | Northwest – The epitome of a “glue guy,” Nelson is a stout defender who fills up the box score. He picks up both frontcourt and backcourt players, can bring the ball down and set up the offense, or man the high post and facilitate from there. The senior has a good stroke from mid-range as well and can fill a lot of different roles.
Teegan Hooper | East Valley (Yakima) – Hooper is a solid two-way guy who plays mostly inside the arc but with good aggression. He gets to the rack, has nice touch in close and is solid in his approach. He’s really a physically strong player who has good balance and effort.
