: 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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
