It’s been a good class for a long time and a ton of these players will be making an impact in college over the course of their careers. Let’s take a look at the top small forwards in this latest rankings update. This does not include any players who were in the top 10 in the class.
One of the best available prospects in the state, Bateman is putting up huge numbers and making a case to be a first team all state selection. Averaging 27 points and 13 rebounds per game so far this season, Derrell holds several offers but is hungry for a D1 offer.
Antonio is one of my favorite players to watch in the class even though I’ve only seen him a couple of times. An ELITE athlete with good size, Williams plays hard and can make impactful plays on both ends. He’s already committed to Three Rivers Juco and could be a D1 player in the not too distant future.
Another player who is already committed, Allen is off the board to Thomas More and is making his case to be the best Senior in the loaded 2024 group in the 5th region. Daniel is a big time scorer and is an above average rebounder. He’ll make an impact at Thomas More eventually.
A really athletic wing player who can score from the perimeter and post up smaller players, Decker is a high impact player that can affect both ends of the court. He’s been injured to start his Senior season but when he’s 100% there isn’t a better 2024 in the 3rd region.
One of the better scorers in Louisville, Hand is athletic with good size and a capable jumper. Jacob can be a good rebounder when he wants to go and get the ball. A true wing, Hand sometimes has to play out of position in the post but he’ll be a true wing in college.
