Updated 2023 Rankings: New Faces (Part 2)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the new update of our senior class rankings, we take a look at part two of some of the new additions to the rankings and why we chose to recognize them.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#128) [player_tooltip player_id='1573491' first='Will' last='Hurst'] | 6'2” SG | Episcopal</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hurst is an x-factor for this scrappy Episcopal team that he fits in perfectly with as he can impact the game in a number of different ways and is a true competitor who will do whatever it takes to help his team win. He fights for loose balls and will sacrifice his body for his team, he plays the passing lanes and rebounds for extra possessions and he can step out and knock down shots off the catch consistently.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#131) [player_tooltip player_id='999637' first='John' last='Awoke'] | 6'3” PG | Hayfield</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Awoke joins an already talented Hayfield team with a trio of new guards who each bring a little bit of something different to the team. Awoke is a throw back style guard who sees the floor well and makes great reads in transition and in pick-and-rolls, he can score it efficiently when he needs to and from different levels and he handles pressure easily and can run the show.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#135) [player_tooltip player_id='1573492' first='Nader' last='Chirchi'] | 6'7” C | Edison</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chirchi is a two sports star who is an all-state football player on both ends of the floor, and he brings a lot of that physicality and style of play to the basketball court as well. He's physical in the paint and knows how to seal and finish around the rim, he clears out space to rebound and overpowers other bigs in the paint and he's an intimidating presence in the paint on the defensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#143) [player_tooltip player_id='1573493' first='Max' last='Warrell'] | 6'5” C | McLean</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1224340,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/Warrell-Max-Head-Shot.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/Warrell-Max-Head-Shot-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1224340"/></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While Warrell may be a little undersized in the paint, he does a lot of positive things and has great feel and fundamentals that allow him to be productive in the paint. He has a great frame that allows him to get in position and seal defenders, he has great footwork and can finish with either hand, he's a good passer in the paint and he competes on the glass on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#144) [player_tooltip player_id='1539780' first='Andrew' last='Nields'] | 6'2” SG | Annandale</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nields is a super crafty and skilled off guard who knows how to score the basketball despite not being the biggest or most athletic guy on the floor. The 6'2” off guard has great footwork off the catch to get open and let it fly from deep, he's very good at attacking closeouts and using that footwork to create space and he has craft to score it over bigger defenders and he can push in transition and get easy buckets that way too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
