How Did He Do That?

Pictured [player_tooltip player_id='1336420' first='Fred' last='Bailey'] : Pope Prep   Scoring the basketball is revered for a reason. While acknowledging these might not be the only great scorers in Tennessee, because every team fails to update their statistics on MaxPreps, the averages of each included player unequivocally reveals their offensive excellence. The premise is simple. How did each scorer assemble such a strong, attacking season? What was their manner of scoring, their style?   1 [player_tooltip player_id='1725209' first='Jamar' last='Livingston'] SF, PF Daniel Boone (Gray, TN) 32 1038 32.4 29 48 60 3 20 11 92   2 [player_tooltip player_id='1261392' first='Tucker' last='Patterson'] PG Polk County (Benton, TN) 12 328 27.3 ppg   [player_tooltip player_id='1261392' first='Tucker' last='Patterson'] is one of the state's best breakout players. After enduring an injury earlier in his career, TP was fully healthy in 2022-2023. He consistently carved his way to the rim, like an artist with a fresh piece of wood and a vision. Patterson's handle is good and his cleverness is great.   3 [player_tooltip player_id='1465840' first='Patrick' last='Carey'] PG Apostolic Christian 24 647 27.0 186 385 48 60 43 125 76   4 Monzo Sweeney Maplewood (Nashville, TN) 17 458 26.9 180 327 55 6 27 92 68   A bull of a man, Monzo Sweeney scored right around the halo. Powerful. Monzo's shooting percentage of 55% ranked among the best, higher largely because he is large and dominating in tight. Few shots beyond 8' left Sweeney's hand.   5 [player_tooltip player_id='1140780' first='John-Michael' last='Martin'] G, PG Dayspring Academy 21 555 26.4 188 321 59 74 51 105 78   6 [player_tooltip player_id='1495468' first='Cadon' last='Buckles'] PG, SG Hampton (TN) 32 773 24.2 298 534 56 49 36 128 84   7 [player_tooltip player_id='1259399' first='Ty' last='Glasper'] PG Gatlinburg-Pittman 29 696 24.0 263 493 53 66 0 104 90   8 [player_tooltip player_id='992497' first='Jaylen' last='Jones'] PG East Nashville Magnet 27 645 23.9 230 440 52 66 36 119 76   The quickest first step in Tennessee. Otherworldly passer. Improved from a starting freshman to a Mr. Basketball. In 2022, won State Championship as a junior. Signed with Tennessee State University.   9 [player_tooltip player_id='1317550' first='Grayson' last='Burleson'] Summertown (TN) 26 610 23.5 233 0 0 42 0 102 0   10 [player_tooltip player_id='1305604' first='Caden' last='Windle'] SG, SF William Blount 33 750 22.7 272 475 57 56 41 150 82   11 Ty Pryor PG Rockwood (TN) 27 612 22.7 229 470 49 75 42 79 77   12 [player_tooltip player_id='1039091' first='Kai'Seanne' last='Brashear'] SG, PG Spring Hill 25 547 21.9 196 406 48 42 0 113 75   13 [player_tooltip player_id='2336414' first='Teryck' last='White'] G, PG King Prep (Memphis, TN) 17 369 21.7 60 59 0 20 0 32 8   14 Carson Bolton PG, SG Jellico (TN) 24 517 21.5 185 471 39 25 19 122 67   15 [player_tooltip player_id='1706873' first='Will' last='Carter Jr.'] G Overton (Nashville, TN) 18 383 21.3 127 0 0 29 0 79 64   Will Carter Jr. is an explosive leaper with the strength to get into tight spaces an climb above. Carter Jr. will be a potential District MVP next year in a strong Nashville Metro grouping.   16 [player_tooltip player_id='1789005' first='Kavien' last='Jones'] SF, PF Battle Ground Academy 30 637 21.2 242 444 55 42 32 111 67   Kavien scores around the rim. His power is often unmatched at the high school level. Jones finishes above the rim in the open floor, but needs to improve a lot of his handle and mid-range game in order to project as a college wing. Jones' rebounding is elite for the private school division.   17 [player_tooltip player_id='1416525' first='Doyel' last='Cockrill III'] PG, SG Pearl-Cohn 28 588 21.0 202 482 42 81 38 135 76   Elite outside shooter. Matured into a point guard during the second-half of his career. Doyel is a confident, proven scorer from multiple points on the floor.   18 Rodgerick Robinson SG Middleton (TN) 27 561 20.8 220 418 53 39 41 82 69   Middleton's juggernaut.   19 Noah RabyC, F JECA 13 268 20.6 119 190 63 4 44 26 52   20 [player_tooltip player_id='1385937' first='Jordan' last='Allen'] PG, G Hillcrest (Memphis, TN) 26 520 20.0 172 382 45 36 0 79 77   21 [player_tooltip player_id='1712761' first='Benjamin' last='Groth'] PG, SG Tennessee Heat 33 659 20.0 247 451 55 18 0 147 70   22 [player_tooltip player_id='1263007' first='Tylon' last='Chatman'] PG, SG Haywood (Brownsville, TN) 31 619 20.0 224 508 44 37 25 134 80   Coach's kid. Creates well off-the-dribble. Chatman made 80% of his free throws. Unsigned, collegebound.   23 [player_tooltip player_id='1211987' first='Cade' last='Capps'] SG, G Stone Memorial 29 574 19.8 214 460 47 54 34 90 70   A top 3 sophomore college prospect. [player_tooltip player_id='1211987' first='Cade' last='Capps'] is a prototypical two-guard. Great height. Elite outside shooter. Handles the point on occasion. Capps was elite during his freshman season when Stone Memorial advanced to the State Tournament despite just a so-so regular season. Potential future Mr. Basketball.   24 [player_tooltip player_id='1495433' first='Jordann' last='Dumont'] SG, SF HHCA 25 491 19.6 176 351 50 64 40 75 74   Signed to Villanova University. Montreal-raised. Dumont finished in the Top 5 prospects thanks to a tremendous senior season. Long, lean, lithe, lethal.   25 [player_tooltip player_id='1329535' first='Kaleb' last='Beasley'] G Lipscomb Academy 18 351 19.5 112 254 44 23 25 104 67     26 [player_tooltip player_id='1273545' first='Jacob' last='Amonett'] PG Pickett County 22 428 19.5 125 313 40 72 37 106 80   27 [player_tooltip player_id='1339348' first='Mason' last='Keeton'] G, F Oneida (TN) 27 519 19.2 192 400 48 27 29 108 72   28 [player_tooltip player_id='1455763' first='Keshawn' last='Pappillion'] PG, SG Kenwood (Clarksville, TN) 13 248 19.1 84 219 38 27 36 53 58   Elite quickness. KP dusted defenders all season with his insane first-step burst. Pappillion is a great one-on-one player thanks to his physical gifts and hours of off-season gameplay.   29 [player_tooltip player_id='1798576' first='Brian' last='Carter'], Jr. SG, G Ridgeway (Memphis, TN) 27 513 19.0 176 320 55 8 30 118 73   Helped his team to the State Tournament.   30 Malachi Hamer F Apostolic Christian 26 494 19.0 162 282 57 1 7 138 72   31 Lucas Clanton Cascade (Wartrace, TN) 33 619 18.8 225 467 48 58 33 111 76   32 [player_tooltip player_id='1345229' first='Matthew' last='Bilbrey'] PG, SG Stone Memorial 29 542 18.7 202 365 55 57 51 81 84   The quiet assassin. [player_tooltip player_id='1345229' first='Matthew' last='Bilbrey']'s expression does not change, his voice does not raise. He still puts in nearly 20 ppg a night. Bilbrey's teammate [player_tooltip player_id='1211987' first='Cade' last='Capps'] is a fantastic scorer himself, but they don't make the 2022 State Tournament without Bilbrey doing his thing.   33 [player_tooltip player_id='1474566' first='Isaac' last='Mcnealy'] SF, SG Jellico (TN) 30 559 18.6 190 414 46 72 38 107 78   34 Barkley Biggs PG, SG Greenfield (TN) 24 447 18.6 134 352 38 59 29 120 67   35 [player_tooltip player_id='1336420' first='Fred' last='Bailey'] G, PG Pope John Paul II 28 516 18.4 181 374 48 24 31 130 70   Stoic expressions aside, Fred is an energetic, knifing penetrator. Wonderful free throw shooter. Bailey gets to the free throw line often and during his junior season he expanded his shooting range from 13ish to 16ish feet out.   36 Jonathan Swanson PG, SG CSTHEA Patriots 25 459 18.4 147 314 47 99 42 66 81   37 THADDEUS JOHNSON SF Hillsboro (Nashville, TN) 12 219 18.2 75 127 59 14 33 55 7   38 Lachlan Matthews PG, SG Perry County (Linden, TN) 23 415 18.0 137 349 39 34 33 107 71   39 [player_tooltip player_id='1373450' first='Corbin' last='Bowling'] PG Fayette Academy 27 487 18.0 165 441 37 67 30 90 70   40 [player_tooltip player_id='1346542' first='Grant' last='Hensley'] PG, SG Unicoi County (Erwin, TN) 30 535 17.8 183 402 46 89 41 80 82   41 [player_tooltip player_id='2321809' first='Emanuel' last='Allen'] C Ridgeway (Memphis, TN) 26 462 17.8 185 324 57 9 30 59 6   42 Cole Lackey F Riverside 30 532 17.7 186 456 41 72 31 88 81   43 Matthew Sharpe SF, SG Chattanooga Central 24 425 17.7 163 292 56 13 33 86 71   44 [player_tooltip player_id='1387586' first='Luke' last='Carter'] G CAK 32 564 17.6 192 451 43 36 28 144 70   45 [player_tooltip player_id='1236443' first='Joshua' last='Heard'] SF, SG Cookeville (TN) 28 492 17.6 156 345 45 49 35 131 86   A future wing, [player_tooltip player_id='1236443' first='Joshua' last='Heard'] does a little of everything for Cookeville. The junior spends some time in the post, as he stands approximately 6-foot-6 and he shoots from the mid-range and deep, as well. Heard hit just under two three-pointers per night.   46 Brandon Sanders SG Smyrna (TN) 25 436 17.4 162 415 39 36 22 76 72   47 Baron Cribbs PG, SG Sequatchie County 16 279 17.4 104 246 42 9 25 62 70   48 [player_tooltip player_id='1262130' first='Dalton' last='McNew'] SG Carter 29 503 17.3 185 382 48 35 31 98 69   49 [player_tooltip player_id='1416522' first='Mekhi' last='Wallace'] SF, PF Pearl-Cohn 28 485 17.3 198 346 57 6 30 83 66   [player_tooltip player_id='1416522' first='Mekhi' last='Wallace'] is an insane leaper. Highlights follow him like dropped jaws.   50 Tucker Carter SG, SF Cheatham County Central 30 519 17.3 196 381 51 72 40 54 77
