Top Available Seniors: Central/SWVA (Part 1)

With the high school season in full swing, it's time to take a look at some of the top available and underrated seniors in the state. Here's a look at part one of some of the best unsigned players in the Central and Southwest areas.   [player_tooltip player_id='1948399' first='Jason' last='Clarke'] | 6'1” PG | Miller School   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Clarke-Jason.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Clarke-Jason.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2047252" /></a></figure>   Clarke is one of the top available players in the state and has flown under the radar for far too long at smaller schools, but that all changed this summer and he has Miller looking like a state championship favorite this year. He's a do-it-all two way impact guard who is strong both with the ball getting downhill and when he picks defenders up the length of the floor, he's a talented shot maker who is dead eye from deep and gets to his spots off the bounce and he's capable of hurting you in many different ways.   [player_tooltip player_id='1489035' first='Markus' last='Robinson'] | 6'3” WG | Blue Ridge   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Robinson-Markus-Loaded.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Robinson-Markus-Loaded.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1978333" /></a></figure>   Robinson is the type of player that sometimes doesn't get the credit he deserves in the Blue Ridge system, because he's the type of player that if he was playing at a normal local school he could explode for 30 on any given night. The 6'3” two guard is a masterful shot maker who can drill it from deep off the catch, has great footwork to get to spots in the midrange and he finds ways to get to the line to score it as well.   [player_tooltip player_id='1489071' first='Kolier' last='Pruett'] | 6'4” WG | Narrows   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/Kolier-Pruett.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/Kolier-Pruett.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1934663" /></a></figure>   Pruett is perhaps the best senior prospect in SWVA this year, as he has been Class 1 All State the last two years and has shown in AAU he can do it against high level competition as well. The 6'4” two guard plays all over the court for Narrows using his length and athleticism to rebound and protect the rim, he can play on the ball and initiate the offense or push in transition to make plays and he's a true three level scorer that is efficient across the board.   [player_tooltip player_id='1948390' first='Ben' last='Wesson'] | 6'4” WG | Albemarle   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/Screen-Shot-2023-08-08-at-9.28.25-PM.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/Screen-Shot-2023-08-08-at-9.28.25-PM.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2118325" /></a></figure>   Wesson has had a scorching start to the season for Albemarle who looks like a dark horse candidate in Class 5, and a lot of that has to do with the scoring ability and confidence the senior is playing with right now. He's one of the most efficient and proficient shooters you'll come across with a quick release and in the gym range, he has wiggle off the bounce to get to spots and get to the rim where he's a good finisher and he's able to get hot and score it in bunches.   [player_tooltip player_id='2119799' first='Bryce' last='Breeden'] | 6'3” WG | Madison County   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/Screen-Shot-2023-09-03-at-10.47.58-AM.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/Screen-Shot-2023-09-03-at-10.47.58-AM.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2146662" /></a></figure>   Breeden was the District Player of the Year last year and is leading a talented Madison team that could make a deep run in the playoffs this year, and while his 17 points per game may not blow people's minds he's a natural leader and team first player who just wants to win. He's an active defender with long arms and great instincts to get deflections and force turnovers, he's a good shooter from deep and he's a crafty finisher who can attack the rim and finish through contact.   [player_tooltip player_id='1621473' first='Finnegan' last='Black'] | 6'6” SF | STAB   Black is another player who gets overshadowed at times as he plays on a team that has some very talented scoring guards, but he has a lot of tools that should translate well to the next level and is a very good role player. He has long arms and is a good athlete with the ability to move laterally and get up and down the floor, he plays with a great motor keeping plays alive and he can knock down shots when he's left open too.
