<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2024 class is starting to wind down their KHSAA basketball careers. AAU is over for most of the rising Seniors and will be over for all of them by the end of the month. Several stars have started to commit and more will be coming soon. Let's take a look at the top 10 stretch forwards in the class in the latest rankings update. This does not include the top 10 players in the class as they have been highlighted in another article.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1089540"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"A big stock riser in this round of updates, Bateman had a good showing in the Kentucky-Indiana Junior All Star game and rode that momentum into multiple offers this summer.
