<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jones is a two sport star who also shines on the football field as a quarterback, and that IQ and athleticism translates to the basketball court as well. He's dynamic in transition with good speed with the ball in his hands, he makes great reads and finds his teammates in good positions and he can get downhill and score it at the rim too.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>24) Zekiah Bradley-Gilbert | 6'6” SF | Christchurch (#67 Overall)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bradley-Gilbert is an intiruging prospect who is a walking mismatch with his size and skillset. At 6'6” he can put it on the deck and get to spots at the rim or in the midrange, he can knock down shots from deep off the catch and he's able to play and guard multiple positions on the floor.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>23) [player_tooltip player_id='1956069' first='Dwayne' last='Tucker'] | 6'3” SF | Skyline (#64 Overall)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Tucker is a two way impact player who has quietly been very stellar for a Skyline program on the rise over the last few years. He's a strong wing who can get downhill and finishes well in traffic, he moves well guarding the ball and jumps passing lanes and he's an excellent rebounder for his position too.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>22) [player_tooltip player_id='2242382' first='Alex' last='McFarlane'] | 6'5” SG | Hayfield (#59 Overall)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/71-Alex-McFarlane.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/71-Alex-McFarlane.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1590176" /></a></figure>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>McFarlane is one of the players who has had a breakout season with this new look Hawks group, and he's got a bright future moving forward. At 6'5” he has fantastic size on the wing and is a good defender, he lights it up from deep off the catch and he knows how to work to get open off the ball.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>21) [player_tooltip player_id='1520852' first='Stuart' last='Cosby'] | 6'5” SF | St. Chris (#56 Overall)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Cosby is having a breakout season for a St. Chris team that has surprised some people this year, and he's looking like one of the more underrated players in the Richmond area. The 6'5” wing is a dead-eye shooter from deep who doesn't need much space to get his shot off, he is a good defender and rebounder for his position and he he's made consistent winning plays throughout the year.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>20) [player_tooltip player_id='1328950' first='Chancellor' last='Perkins'] | 6'2” SG | Highland School (#55 Overall)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:image {"id":1980314,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} -->
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Perkins-Chance-Loaded.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Perkins-Chance-Loaded.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1980314" /></a></figure>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Perkins may deserve to be higher on this list, as he has the ability to really change games with the way he can score the basketball in bunches. At 6'2” he's a dead eye shooter from deep with in the gym range and a quick release, he can get to spots off the bounce and he's playmaker on the defensive end of the floor too.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>19) [player_tooltip player_id='2242390' first='Noah' last='Limbago'] | 6'2” SF | WT Woodson (#53 Overall)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Limb-ago has been a very important piece for Woodson this year, as his leadership and all-around play has been instrumental in their success. He's the ultimate glue guy as he will sacrifice his body and do the dirty work, he makes smart decisions on both ends of the floor and he's a threat to score it efficiently when his team needs him to.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>18) Gabriel D'Allesendro | 6'4” SG | STAB (#52 Overall)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>D'Allasendro at times gets overlooked as he's on a stacked STAB team with a lot of talented guards, but he's been a key contributor for them all season long. He's a strong and tough wing who brings good energy defensively, he can knock it down off the catch from deep and he's very good at attacking closeouts and either scoring int he midrange or making plays for others.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>17) [player_tooltip player_id='1201605' first='Alex' last='Pissis'] | 6'5” SF | Catholic (#49 Overall)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Pissis came over from France this season and immediately caught eyes in the 757 as one of the better wings and should see some interest from college coaches moving forward. The 6'5” wing is a natural scorer from all over the floor, he's a plus athlete who can get downhill and is a strong finisher around the rim and he has good feel as a playmaker as well.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>16) [player_tooltip player_id='1494121' first='Anthony' last='Saunders'] | 6'3” SG | Edison (#44 Overall)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:image {"id":2310878,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} -->

<!-- /wp:image -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Saunders is one of the biggest mismatches you'll find in all of Northern VA, as he has a mix of skill along with strength and athleticism that makes him tough to matchup with. He can post smaller wings and bully his way to the rim, he can take slower guys out on the perimeter and get downhill and he can make shots from multiple levels too.</p>
