Updated Class of 2024 Rankings – Top Newcomers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2023-24 season has reached its midway point and we've watched and followed enough of the action so far to do a Class of 2024 rankings update. A handful of new names have made their way onto the list - here's a quick look at the top ones.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h1 class="wp-block-heading">71 - [player_tooltip player_id='2324444' first='Lincoln' last='Satterthwaite'], David Douglas</h1> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Still physically developing prospect has emerged as a scoring threat for David Douglas this season. At 6-foot-4, he has good size and decent athleticism on the wing, has the ability to knock down outside shots as well as use his length to his advantage on drives to the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h1 class="wp-block-heading">84 - [player_tooltip player_id='2324554' first='Peyton' last='Pierce'], Eagle Point</h1> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tough, rugged power guard who has really shown the ability to score the basketball this season as one of the top bucket-getters in all of 5A. While his preference is to get to the cup the 6-foot-1 guard can spot up and hit the three, especially from the corners.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h1 class="wp-block-heading">103 - Azure McNamara, Ashland</h1> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>All-around jack-of-all-trades kind of player who really gets after it on the defensive end and can guard multiple positions at 6-foot-4. Missed the early part of the season with a hand injury.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h1 class="wp-block-heading">105 - [player_tooltip player_id='2056752' first='Jackson' last='Strandy'], West Albany</h1> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Long and lanky wing-forward type that can score both inside and out at 6-foot-4. Runs the floor well, hits the offensive glass, and has the ability to guard multiple positions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h1 class="wp-block-heading">110 - [player_tooltip player_id='2324446' first='Malachi' last='Muthiah'], Newberg</h1> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Skilled 6-foot combo guard who knows how to create and make his own shot. Smooth shooter from the outside but capable of knocking down pull-up jumpers from different spots on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h1 class="wp-block-heading">121 - [player_tooltip player_id='2287290' first='Ben' last='Livingston'], Parkrose</h1> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Undersized but effective power forward type at 6-foot-4. Strong finisher around the hoop despite the fact he largely plays under the rim and also has a nice mid-range face-up jumper. Has been one of the most consistent performers at Parkrose this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h1 class="wp-block-heading">125 - [player_tooltip player_id='2324450' first='Vitaliy' last='Sergeychuk'], David Douglas</h1> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Athletic 6-foot-4 forward who can really play above the rim. A bit raw offensively but his skills have continued to develop over the course of his high school career. Plays with a high motor and gets after it on the boards and on defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
