2022 Player Rankings Update: Newcomers Pt. 2

<ol start="77"> <li><strong> 6-1 CG [player_tooltip player_id="1199591" first="Jarrod" last="Taylor"] – Salem</strong></li> </ol> <p>The All-State guard that moved in from Tennessee last offseason had some offensive outbursts throughout the high school season. Taylor has a strong body, using his frame to get to the hoop where he finishes through contact. Taylor picks his spots well and can score from the mid-range.</p> <ol start="79"> <li><strong> 6-5 SG [player_tooltip player_id="1199603" first="Nick" last="Woodard"] – Taylor County</strong></li> </ol> <p>With covetable size on the perimeter, [player_tooltip player_id="1199603" first="Nick" last="Woodard"] is turned into a consistent scorer on the wing. He’s a good outside shooter and has gotten stronger over the course of his career allowing him to get better and better and getting to the rim.</p> <ol start="88"> <li><strong> 6-7 PF [player_tooltip player_id="1201469" first="Jake" last="Mooney"] – West Forsyth</strong></li> </ol> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1201469" first="Jake" last="Mooney"] is a reliable post presence that can dominate smaller defenders. He takes his time in the low post, able to score with drop steps and hook shots. He’s mobile enough to make moves on the perimeter and can stretch the floor with his jump shot. Mooney is a double-double threat that has heard from D-III programs and could be on the verge of landing even bigger offers.</p> <ol start="89"> <li><strong> 6-3 SG [player_tooltip player_id="1199595" first="Cayden" last="Charles"] – Allatoona</strong></li> </ol> <p>With a key 2021 class out the door, the emergence of [player_tooltip player_id="1199595" first="Cayden" last="Charles"] could keep Allatoona in the mix. Charles continues to improve. Known as a two-way standout with great length and defensive instincts as a perimeter stopper, Charles has found his niche as a slasher on offense. He’s improved every week as a playmaker and is starting to find the range with his three-point shot.</p> <ol start="93"> <li><strong> 6-7 F [player_tooltip player_id="1139775" first="Deterrius" last="Clayton"] – Peachtree Ridge</strong></li> </ol> <p>Duke Clayton is a big-bodied forward with nimble feet. He looks like a banger at first, but you quickly see that the lefty can create off the dribble on the perimeter and can hit the three. Clayton debuts at No. 93, but could be destined to raise even more with a strong senior season.</p> <ol start="95"> <li><strong> 6-3 SG [player_tooltip player_id="1201468" first="Brasen" last="James"] – Evans</strong></li> </ol> <p>Motor. [player_tooltip player_id="1201468" first="Brasen" last="James"]’ motor separates him from many guards. He’s a stat sheet stuffer willing to do the dirty work. He rebounds and defends consistently. James has the ability to play almost any position on the floor. He’s the rare type of glue guy that can get you 15-20 points nightly.</p>
