Underclassmen VHSL standouts

These are some underclassmen who stood out to me in the VHSL state playoffs and what to expect moving forward.     [player_tooltip player_id='2353665' first='Will' last='Braun-Duin'] had a big game for John Handley in their quarterfinal blowout over Heritage, and he had some ridiculous scoring performances all year. Will is one of the best shooters in the state, and when he gets hot, he can put up 30 in a half. He had a game this year where he had 50 points in 17 minutes. That's the kind of shooter and scorer Will is. Will scored his 1000th point in the middle of this year. With 2 years left, I think he could finish in rare air with 2,500+ points when his career ends.      [player_tooltip player_id='2916372' first='Damien' last='Robinson'] was a guy that I heard a lot about this season, and in Landstown's quarterfinal win over Patriot, he was really impressive. Damien has been playing varsity ball for a while now, even though he's just a freshman. Damien is a skilled lead guard who plays way beyond his years. He is a terrific shooter and facilitator, and I love the way he competes on the defensive end. When Damien gets taller and puts on size, he will be even harder to deal with than he is now.      [player_tooltip player_id='2353657' first='Kaylen' last='Chilton'] has led this Woodson team in scoring back-to-back years. His ability to blow by people and finish and/or draw contact always impresses me. He has a nice handle and is a very natural scorer. I'm interested to see what happens next year with him with this Woodson team essentially losing most of their production from this year. Kaylen played off the ball a decent amount this year, but I'm excited to see what he does as a true lead guard.      [player_tooltip player_id='2799129' first='Channing' last='Disibbio'] was great for Graham the whole postseason. Channing caught my eye, especially in the final against a John Marshall team loaded with D1 talent. Channing didn't look outmatched, and he, along with the rest of the Graham team, put up a fight against one of the best public school teams in the nation. Channing plays hard and is a knockdown shooter. Channing plays more of a two right now, and I love what he does off the ball as a spacer and cutter. Channing is a little undersized, so we'll see if ends up playing as more of a one moving forward.      [player_tooltip player_id='2353632' first='Makai' last='Ragland'] was the guy Albemarle went to in a lot of big spots this year, and he was their leading scorer. He had the game-tying bucket in the state final and had a handful of big plays in their close semis win over Riverside. Makai can play multiple positions and is a very versatile player. Makai plays as a wing a lot and can mix it up with players inside because of his size and strength. Makai is a great shooter and an athletic finisher. Makai has the build for a 2 at the next level or a wing.     Conner Wilcox was outstanding for Atlee in their state title run. Conner was the lone nonsenior starter for Atlee, and he hit big shots in the final and set the tone in the semis. Conner looks comfortable as a perimeter scorer. He does a great job driving the ball, and he has always been a good spot up shooter. I think he has developed into much more of a wing than a forward. That makes him an intriguing prospect for me at his size, and he is a player to watch moving forward.
