We are working today on the class of 2022 and the position rankings with our group of shooting guards. Here is what you need to know for these top flight prospects.
Overview:
Of all of the positions, the shooting guard spot in 2022 looks like it is going to be the one that has the most change over the coming years. There doesn’t look like as much depth as you would think right now but at the same time, there are some guys at point guard and small forward that will likely move into this position and help to stabilize it. On the flip side, there are some guys I would think that will move out as well.
As far as development and those currently listed below, I think you will see some of these guys perform better in the summer than in the high school season. This is fairly normal as the two-guard spot is more of a producer’s position and if you are playing significant minutes as a shooting guard as a freshman, you will be considered one of the better players. It’s tough to get minutes because of the expectations and only a few on this list stand out like Kyle Thomas and Anthony Williams Jr. Those two are off to great years but doing it at Cloverdale and Hobart.
There are some guys we think could be do for a boost once they can get more playing time. Paul Stubblefield, Ahmad Jarrad, and Chris Gunn. None of these guys are really getting their run at their high schools at the Varsity level yet but look like they will once they get into the spring and summer.
New Additions:
With this round of rankings, we have added seven new players to the shooting guard rankings. One of the guys we have added that has made us pay attention is Brock Kincaid. The Greenwood (IN) native is likely going to see a move out of the shooting guard spot as he’s a really solid ball handler with some size and he’s quite creative for his age. Not sure if he will get much taller but the height and length are there. If he can fill out the frame, he’s going to be able to make even more plays with the ball in his hand. We have also added Anthony Williams Jr., Logan McIntire, Owen Linder, and Rocco Coshel.
Stock Risers:
As with our other groups, we saw some players all move down because of the addition of so many talent players early on in this process. The shooting guard position is one that benefits as all of the players move up. Brendan Wood of Brebeuf Jesuit (IN) made the biggest one as he moves up six spots. Chris Gunn also moved up four spots in the rankings. Things will likely even out and as we said at the top this is a position that is going to have a ton of change over the years.
