[player_tooltip player_id='2411216' first='AJ' last='Reinertson'] (+36, #49 to #13)   Reinertson, a high IQ combo guard at Lawrence Academy, made the biggest climb of any prospect in this rankings update. At 6'2", he has good size for the position, can make plays off the bounce, and does a good job of knocking down shots from behind the arc. He's a crafty finisher around the rim, does a nice job as a decision maker out of ball screens, and makes some high level passes in the half-court. Defensively, he can guard either spot in the back-court and is instinctive in passing lanes.   [player_tooltip player_id='2568339' first='Kamari' last='Whyte'] (+19, #39 to #20)   Whyte, a physically mature guard at Vermont Academy, has made a name for himself early in his sophomore season. He's 6'3", has long arms, is an above average athlete, and has the strength to play through contact on both ends of the floor. He's at his best as a downhill driver, using his combination of explosiveness and strength to get into the lane and finish strong at the rim. He's a solid rebounder on both ends of the floor and can really guard, defending multiple positions in space.   [player_tooltip player_id='2560962' first='Emmanuel' last='Malok'] (+12, #40 to #28)   Malok, a 6'11" center at St. Thomas More, has one of the class's most impressive combinations of positional size, length, and athleticism. While he'll need to continue to add strength, he has a high ceiling as a prospect due to his ability to make plays around the rim on both ends of the floor. He does a nice job of catching whatever is thrown his way, has the ability to get off the floor quickly, and can finish with authority above the rim. He alters or blocks a ton of shots on the other end of the floor.   [player_tooltip player_id='2568348' first='Tyson' last='Robinson'] (+16, #45 to #29)   Robinson, an athletic forward at Brimmer & May, is another prospect that has announced himself on the regional stage this season. He's come out of the gate strong, frequently scoring in double digits and proving to be an impact player on the glass. He's long and bouncy and plays with a high motor, allowing him to make play after play around the rim. Defensively, he's a high level shot blocker that has proven to have good instincts and timing, while showing the ability to get to shots at their apex.   [player_tooltip player_id='2568355' first='Jack' last='Gedroge'] (+11, #47 to #36)   Gedroge, a big man at Kents Hill, has been able to make an early season impact with his ability to score, rebound, and defend.

Defensively, he's a strong post defender that controls the glass.   [player_tooltip player_id='2568357' first='Jalen' last='Rogers'] (+15, #52 to #37)   Rogers, a 6'7" combo forward at Beaver Country Day, stands out as one of the most impressive wing athletes in this class. While his physical gifts stand out in the open floor, it's his evolution as a scorer in the half-court that has contributed to his rise so far. He's a shot creator that can get his jumper off against most defenders due to his size and athleticism. He does a great job of attacking the rim off the bounce and on the other end of the floor, has impressive versatility that allows him to guard all five positions.   [player_tooltip player_id='2568375' first='Jayden' last='Duverne'] (+21, #68 to #47)   Duverne, a jumbo wing at Phillips Exeter Academy, has the ability to be a big time scorer, particularly in isolation situations. Hw has some wiggle off the bounce, knows how to attack bad closeouts, and utilizes his size to get into his jumper in the mid-range. His combination of positional size and length allows him to guard up and down a line-up and as he adds strength, he should only continue to become a better defensive rebounder, which will compliment his ability to make an impact in passing lanes.   [player_tooltip player_id='2408951' first='Jack' last='Lafayette'] (+16, #77 to #61)   Lafayette, a 6'2" guard at Peoples Academy, has been a breakout star in the VPA this season. He is an explosive scorer that can get it done at all three levels, he has a second gear in transition, and does a great job of getting downhill off the bounce and finishing with authority around the rim.

[player_tooltip player_id='2568398' first='Michael' last='Therrien'] (+29, #93 to #64)   Therrien, a physical forward at Putnam Science Academy, is a traditional low post big that appears to be expanding his offensive game bit by bit each month. He's physically strong, which allows his to establish and hold position on the block, get to his spots as a scorer, and finish through contact at the rim. He is starting to knock down shots from the perimeter in catch and shoot situations and continues to be a solid post defender that does a great job of tagging and boxing out.   [player_tooltip player_id='2568400' first='Freddie' last='Bacon'] (+15, #94 to #79)   Bacon, a 6'2" scoring guard at Northfield Mount Hermon, stands out with his ability to impact a game on the defensive end of the floor. He has the size to guard either back-court spot and shows a willingness to mix it up physically on the glass. He moves his feet well, has good instincts in passing lanes, and can quickly convert turnovers into easy scoring opportunities in transtion.
