At the bottom of this page you can see the Prep Hoops explanation of our rankings as of course prospect rankings are different than a straight player ranking of who is currently a more productive high school player. In addition to what’s below there are a few important points I think that need to be made with this week’s position rankings:
ONE. Basketball has become multi-positional of course with players competing inside and out at a number of positions. That said, college coaches, high school coaches, and the spring/summer coaches still use the terms “Point”, “the one”, “at the two”, “at the four”, and “he’s a the five” commonly. The difference today is that your position has become more about what you can guard defensively as compared to what a player can do offensively. If a prospect is playing shooting guard on offense at 5-foot-10 but then goes the other way and guards the point guard, college coaches at the higher levels are going to consider that player as the lead guard (and that ultimately can lead to why players may not play at the level they think they should in college).
TWO. This week’s position rankings will consist of all five positions, and no player will be in two different rankings. Yes Jalen Suggs could be listed as the number one player at point guard and at shooting guard but we are listing him as a two in these rankings. That same thing can be said about many players.
THREE. If you feel like somebody should be here and isn’t, my email is ryan@prephoops.com and my DMs are already open. Chance could be I forgot a player or two (my deeper research will hit with the new top 250 in later September) or I thought of them as a different position.
