Here are the top-9 SF’s in the 2023 class: (A DEEP group of talent with all 9 in Top-20 and 5 in the Top-10)

Cody Williams Cody Williams 6'8" | SF Perry | 2023 State #25 Nation AZ Perry

The McDee’s All-American showed off his talents all year long. His elite size for position. length, skill and unusual bounce makes him the #1 player in the senior class. He takes very few strides to the rim and he will defend many positions plus has next level court vision. He signed with Colorado and some websites have him as a lottery pick.

Marquis Cook Marquis Cook 6'6" | SF AZ Compass Prep | 2023 State #6 Nation AZ AZ Compass Prep (Pictured)

Another McDonald’s All-American has deep three point range, great passing skills, supreme athleticism and the ability to defend most positions on the court. The five star is heading to Oregon and is on some first round NBA Draft boards.

Rayvon Griffith Rayvon Griffith 6'6" | SF AZ Compass Prep | 2023 State #78 Nation AZ AZ Compass Prep

An athletic bigger wing plays and defends multiple positions. He handles the ball well like a guard and can find teammates. He uses his athleticism and size to get into the lane and finish high off layups or dunks. When he is making perimeter jumpers, he is at his best. He committed to Cinn.

Trent Pierce Trent Pierce 6'7" | SF AZ Compass Prep | 2023 State #73 Nation AZ AZ Compass Prep

A long and tall wing forward with skill and athleticism. He throws it down high above the rim on the break and he can rattle in threes off the catch. He will defend both forward spots on defense and can make some plays. He committed to Missouri.

Arman Madi Arman Madi 6'6" | SF Brophy Prep | 2023 State AZ Brophy Prep

A point forward type with deep three point range. The bigger wing has a nice handle with next level court vision. He carried his team in many games over the years from shooting from the parking lot to rebounding and defending the 2-5 in a pinch. He will be headed locally to NAU.

Arne Osojnik Arne Osojnik 6'6" | SF Dream City Christian | 2023 State AZ Dream City Christian

Another top of the food chain gunner is a bigger wing shooter. He has the needed athleticism and his shooting stroke is compact and pure. He uses a quick trigger and he seems to be money in every attempt. His on-ball defense is what caught my eye recently.

Trey Brown Trey Brown 6'7" | SF Phhoenix Prep | 2023 State AZ Phhoenix Prep

A versatile tall wing forward with bounce and handle. He plays like a point forward type with nice court vision. He recently added a wrinkle to his game with pull-ups off the dribble from mid-range.

Jahki Gupton Jahki Gupton 6'7" | SF Eduprize | 2023 State AZ Eduprize

A long and lean athletic forward. He is another one on the list with incredible size, skill, length, athleticism and passing abilities. He has a smooth jumper from mid to the three and will play above the rim in transition.

Carter Gittens Carter Gittens 6'5" | SF Sunrise Mountain | 2023 State AZ Sunrise Mountain

A powerfully built forward played many spots for the Mustangs. He essentially did it all outside of PG. He attacks with the best of them on the list and he can catch fire from deep as well. He uses his sturdy frame to rebound and defend inside and out.
