2024 Rankings: Top ’24 players in the KingCo 3A

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the new 2024 class rankings have been released, I will be taking a deeper look every conference to see which top players are playing in that conference. Here is the KingCo 3A, the number inside the parentheses is where they are ranked inside the entire class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1837709' first='Hogan' last='Hansen'] </strong>(65) - Bellevue HS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hogan has great length and size, standing at 6'7" and having a long wingspan. He is an insane athlete, having a high motor on both ends of the court. He stretches the floor nicely as he can knock down three's if he is left open. He makes plays on the defensive side of the ball effectively using his size and wingspan to get involved in the passing lanes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1615160' first='Kenyan' last='Jackman-Thomas']</strong> (74) - Bellevue HS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kenyan is an other wing for Bellevue that has great length on the court. His role will increase next season during his senior year and I think he will excel with the extra workload. He can guard the 1-4 given his size, speed, and athleticism. He handles the ball smoothly and can distribute to his teammates nicely. He is going to be able to showcase more of his offensive game next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1710051' first='Denali' last='Hatcher']</strong> (102) - Liberty (Renton) HS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Denali is a shifty guard who can attack the rim using his speed very nicely. He controls the pace of the game well and plays with a ton of confidence. He knows what he can do on the court and will stick to those things. Even standing at 5'8", he finishes well through traffic and bigs down low.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1463083' first='Macklin' last='Gray'] </strong>(WL) - Juanita HS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gray is a great utility player who can play all over the court. He is sort of a "glue guy" type of player, meaning he can handle the ball, play off the ball, inside the paint, or out on the perimeter. He has been improving his overall game to become more well rounded on the offensive side of the ball and will be able to showcase that next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
