2024 Rankings: Sleepers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With 315 players, there are bound to be players that fall under the radar and could make a jump in the next few years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here are 8 sleepers from the senior class to possibly make a jump in college:&nbsp;</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1494969' first='Owen' last='Bell'] <strong>ALA Gilbert North </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long and lean wing forward scores from inside and out with threes, drives, post ups and above the rim dunks. He has a good feel for the game but needs to fill in and get stronger. Once he does he will be even harder to defend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2249609' first='Rashard' last='Cooper'] <strong>Mesa</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the best stories in Arizona. He lost a ton of weight and got into better shape. With his size, strength and budding skill he made in the last year. If he can make another leap up, watch out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1986830' first='Royal' last='Haley'] <strong>Cesar Chavez</strong> <strong>(Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long athletic power forward plays and defends multiple positions. He shows you glimpses of his long term upside with above the rim dunks, catch threes, drives in traffic ripping thru plus rebounds and blocks shots. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1138527' first='TJ' last='Clark'] <strong>Sequoia Charter</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long and very tall wing forward. He has a very clean stroke from mid to the three point line and his ball rotates like it should. He rebounds in his area and once he gets stronger and kicks up his motor, he will be a tougher cover. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1066495' first='Aeramiah' last='Binford'] <strong>Ascending Life </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A wildly athletic wing forward showed you some special moments with San Tan Charter in the summer. He unfortunately could not academically make it work but he is another once he fills in and gets stronger, he may take off! He shoots it, plays way above the rim and will defend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1183400' first='KaShar' last='Benton'] <strong>Skyline Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A thicker framed post has been up and down in the last few years. His weight has also gone up and down and he is starting to lean out. He can score with his back to the basket with decent post footwork and rebounds well. Once he gets in tip-top shape and polishes up his game, he can be a force inside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1781818' first='Pearson' last='Wiggins'] <strong>ALA Ironwood</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long and athletic center is just scratching the surface. He can throw it down easily with a quick leap up to the rim. He will rebound and block shots. He is developing his post footwork and once he gets stronger with maturity, he can be a diamond long term. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2281909' first='Sterling' last='Knighten'] <strong>Mountain Pointe</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long post player who essentially hasn't played much basketball. He missed sophomore and junior year with injuries and is just starting to catch up to his peers. If a school can take a chance on him and work with him and develop him, he may be great story down the road and play at a four year college with his shot blocking. rebounding, length and size. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
