Continue ReadingFor the first time, we have released the top 50 player rankings for the class of 2022. These players consist of the talented freshmen that left an imprint on their first seasons at the varsity level. It seems like every year, we get a new talented batch of freshmen in the area, but this particular group has the potential to be special.
For this series, we’ll take a look at the Baltimore area prospects that landed in the rankings. For this specific article, we’ll cover 31-50.
Bryce Lindsay | 5’11 | Poly/Team Melo
Ranking: No. 35
Lindsay is by far the best shooter of this class in the Baltimore area. There’s even room to argue he may be the best shooter regardless of class. Lindsay contributed on a loaded Poly team that completed a three-peat for the Class 3A title. Because of the talent and depth, Lindsay may have played less than he would if he attended a different school, but Poly’s ability to develop young guys has a solid track record. He’ll likely see the floor even more this season and show why he can be an impact player. Even in his minutes last season, the opposing teams knew they had to stay glued to him at all times, which ultimately opens up the floor and driving lanes for his teammates.
Adam Walden | 6’8 | Poly/Team Melo
Ranking: No. 50
Walden was moved up and down from junior varsity to varsity throughout the course of last season. Once the season ended, there were rumors that Walden was looking to transfer and now that move looks official as he’s set to attend to Poly. Since March, Walden has made obvious improvements to his body. The 6-foot-8 big man isn’t carrying as much weight, which should help with his athleticism and motor. Walden can be a solid defensive presence in the paint by disrupting shots and rebounding. Offensively, he was restricted to play on the block, but it wouldn’t surprise me this season if we see him step out to 15 feet or even the three-point line and make an occasional jumper. It’ll be interesting to see how Walden finds his niche within this Poly team.
