<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We ranked 340 players and are now looking at some top players in different categories this week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We start off with</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Some of the top Shooters in the Top-100 who are not ranked in the Top-20</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1900362' first='Colby' last='Jessup'] <strong>Valley Christian </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Arguably the top shooter in the 2026 class. He has size for positions and comes with volleyball line range and a quick trigger. He will also use ball fakes and side steps to get his shot off or get into the paint. Once he gets closest to the basket, he will also find a teammate in stride. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1482163' first='Cristian' last='Simmons'] <strong>Sunnyslope</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger face-up forward plays both positions up front. He will rebound the ball at a good clip plus defend multiple positions. He will let it fly with one of the quickest releases of any forward in the class. He will do the 1-2 mid-range pull-up and has the deep three.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1986845' first='Mason' last='Kendrick'] <strong>Arcadia</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic wing forward or a bigger scoring guard has one of the best mid-range pull-ups in the class. He gets high elevation on it and can extend to the three. He will also throw it down on the break and brings energy on defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2171184' first='Gage' last='Bartlett'] <strong>Bella Vista Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another dead-eye shooter with a little size for position. The southpaw has a steady stroke from mid to the three point line. His mid-range is his sweet spot but he can also drive it to score in the lane. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1950116' first='Ethan' last='Hayes'] <strong>Horizon </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A quickly growing wing forward made a jump with his size and overall consistency. He can pull-up off the dribble from mid-range but he seems to like the catch jumpers best. His three point stroke is picture perfect and gets it off his hands so easily. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2404557' first='Tyson' last='Dobbins'] <strong>Desert Christian </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A walking bucket plays multiple positions for the 2A small school. He is torching the nets each season and brings a load of confidence to the court. He has decent size and will use it for dribble drives. He is also a top play-maker seeing the court quickly. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1758975' first='Nash' last='Parmley'] <strong>Sunnyslope (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the bigger wing forwards in the AIA is pushing six-foot seven. The Vikings have a ton of talent and he compliments them as a knockdown catch and shoot three point sniper. He uses his size to rebound and plays a cerebral brand of ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
