2021 Rankings Newcomers

<p><strong>2021 Newcomers</strong></p> <p>An in-depth look at a few of the newcomers into the 2021 player rankings.<br /> <br /> </p> <p><strong style="font-size: 1rem;">81. 6-4 SG [player_tooltip player_id="1045712" first="Chancelor" last="Johnson"] – Tri-Cities</strong></p> <p>In from Las Vegas, [player_tooltip player_id="1045712" first="Chancelor" last="Johnson"] has a chance to turn heads quickly joining an already loaded Tri-Cities roster. Johnson is a knockdown three-point shooter with size. Adding him next to [player_tooltip player_id="869578" first="Peyton" last="Daniels"] and the rest of Tri-Cities’ battle-tested group should lead to some fireworks.</p> <p><strong style="font-size: 1rem;">85. 6-7 SF [player_tooltip player_id="1004875" first="Wyatt" last="Fricks"] – Winder-Barrow</strong></p> <p>A move to Winder-Barrow to play alongside [player_tooltip player_id="806745" first="Isaiah" last="Nelson-Ododa"] gives the Bulldoggs one of the biggest duos on the state. Both have the capability of playing inside and out. Fricks is a deceptively good athlete that can tear down the rim once he breaks free. The tandem should play well off of each other. D-I programs have inquired about Fricks and will continue to do so as a strong senior season looks likely.</p> <p><strong style="font-size: 1rem;">87. 6-5 SF [player_tooltip player_id="1043316" first="Rashad" last="King"] – Evans</strong></p> <p>King found his niche with AC Georgia in the final months of summer. He’s a high motor tough guy that will slash to the basket and scrap for rebounds. King plays bigger than his size and uses his physicality to win 50/50 balls. He can stretch the floor when needed. Defensively he’s capable of defending multiple positions. It will be interesting to see how King produces now that [player_tooltip player_id="806557" first="Christian" last="Chambers"] has graduated.</p> <p><strong style="font-size: 1rem;">91. 6-8 C [player_tooltip player_id="1004876" first="Jackson" last="Price"] – Hiram</strong></p> <p>Playing on a team that was heavily guard oriented, now that the three-headed monster is gone from the backcourt Hiram should once again swing back to being post focused with [player_tooltip player_id="1004876" first="Jackson" last="Price"] in the middle. He did solid work last year, cleaning up misses and blocking shots, but this summer has shown that he can create his own offense on the low block as well. He’s a big man that is trending in the right direction and should see plenty of touches this year.</p> <p><strong style="font-size: 1rem;">92. 6-4 CG [player_tooltip player_id="1020668" first="Steven" last="Lyles"] – Legacy Academy</strong></p> <p>The improved play of [player_tooltip player_id="1020668" first="Steven" last="Lyles"] warrants college attention. A freak athlete that does a little bit of everything, Lyles’ confidence and identity were really highlighted playing with the MVA Outlawz. His value as a positionless defender immediately should put him on college radars. Lyles checks in at No. 92, but I think the elevator is still going up.</p> <p><strong style="font-size: 1rem;">99. 6-2 PG [player_tooltip player_id="1047101" first="Cam" last="Lee"] – Walnut Grove</strong></p> <p>An elite athlete that is improving his decision making at point guard, [player_tooltip player_id="1047101" first="Cam" last="Lee"] has a lot of tools that translate well to the next level. He has the attributes of a lockdown perimeter defender, equipped with quickness and length. Offensively he’s a solid slasher that can hit the outside shot. D-II programs should track him closely.</p> <p><strong style="font-size: 1rem;">104. 6-3 CG [player_tooltip player_id="1011329" first="Jaeden" last="Marshall"] – Richmond Hill<a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/EdPrWmnXsAIS3IN.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1018389 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/EdPrWmnXsAIS3IN-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1011329" first="Jaeden" last="Marshall"] is a big strong guard that can overpower defenders when getting to the hoop. He’s got the strength to shed opponents and get to his sweet spots. Marshall is tough inside and works the pivot well. He absorbs contact and earns And-1 opportunities when up close. He’s been improving his shot off the dribble and is a reliable three-point shooter when he decides to settle from deep. Colleges looking for some toughness and upside will want to get down to Richmond Hill.</p> <p><strong style="font-size: 1rem;">113. 6-3 SG [player_tooltip player_id="1020669" first="Robert" last="Reisman"] – Gainesville<a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/IMG_7098.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1019330 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/IMG_7098-150x150.jpg" alt="[player_tooltip player_id=" width="150" height="150" /></a></strong></p> <p>Statistically speaking, [player_tooltip player_id="1020669" first="Robert" last="Reisman"] had one of the best all-around summers of any senior outside of the Top 100. He posted 15 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4 assists per game, shining as a multidimensional offensive standout. Reisman’s playmaking was most impressive, balancing getting others involved while still scoring from all three levels. Reisman is on the rise and with continued momentum, could end up being a Top 100 player.</p> <p><strong style="font-size: 1rem;">122. 6-6 PF [player_tooltip player_id="1011330" first="JaHeim" last="Robinson"] – Johnson-Savannah<a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/IMG_6203.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1019289 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/IMG_6203-150x150.jpg" alt="[player_tooltip player_id=" width="150" height="150" /></a></strong></p> <p>There is much intrigue surrounding [player_tooltip player_id="1011330" first="JaHeim" last="Robinson"]. You just don’t find 6-foot-6 260-pound point forwards that can handle the ball and move like he does. Robinson can initiate the offense with his passing and do pretty much everything. He’s a physical rebounder, he can alter shots, he can score from the mid-range and three-point line and of course he’s rugged on the low block, able to convert And-1s. Robinson will be an integral piece for Johnson-Savannah this season after transferring in last year and having to sit out a season. A relative unknown before the summer, he’s on our radar now. It will be interesting to see how effective he will be this season and what level he will play at in college.</p>
