While there is always some movement inside the Top 10, the prospects in that group have stayed relatively consistent over the past few rankings updates.   With that in mind, we wanted to try to highlight them in a different way today, with a focus on what we believe is there top skill at this point in time.

Wooten is a big time scorer on the perimeter. He has an advanced feel for the game, can really shoot it, and does a great job of moving without the basketball and running his defender off of screens.

Terry had a coming out party this spring, as the big guard showed a unique ability to impact the game in a variety of ways on the offensive end of the floor. He's comfortable with the ball in his hands, can score in the mid-range, and isn't afraid to post up and score over either shoulder. The Rhode Island schools have taken notice as he holds offer from both Providence and URI. </li>   <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2341338' first='Ty' last='Tabales']: Perimeter Playmaker.
