Continue ReadingRanking prospects is a difficult, controversial, and thankless task for basketball scouts. Earlier, we took a look at the class of 2020 rankings in a different way – by the numbers. We found key numbers on the list and glanced at the player that filled that spot. Now we’ll do the same for the class of 2021.
1
Kobe Bufkin Kobe Bufkin 6'4" | SG Grand Rapids Christian | 2021 State #71 Nation MI (CG, Grand Rapids Christian)
Bufkin was a fast riser this spring and summer. He’s become a top 100 recruit and a national target. Bufkin is an athlete with a smooth lefty stroke.
10
Julian Lewis Julian Lewis 6'5" | SG Ann Arbor Huron | 2021 State MI (G/F, Ann Arbor Huron)
Lewis is another quick rising prospect. He’s one of the top perimeter defenders and rebounding guards in Michigan. He should see an influx of Division 1 offers.
25
Marcus Wourman Marcus Wourman 5'10" | PG East Lansing | 2021 State MI (PG, East Lansing)
Wourmann is too often overlooked and should be considered one of the top point guards in the junior class. He’s a strong ball handler that keeps it low and protected.
50
Damon Terrell (PF, Communication Arts & Media)
This young man is a value at 50. He’s a long leaper that can play above the rim.
75
Bryce VanderWiere (PF, Schoolcraft)
VanderWiere is a nice physical presence in the paint. He’s active on the glass and moves well on defense. VanderWiere has a nice mid range jumper to go with it.
100
Kaleb Mitchelson Kaleb Mitchelson 6'2" | CG Muskegon Reeths-Puffer | 2021 State MI (CG, Muskegon Reeths-Puffer)
Mitchelson is a big value at this number. He’s a physical driver that can dish off penetration.
125
Tyler Belskus Tyler Belskus 6'4" | PF Saline | 2021 MI (F, Saline)
Belskus is an athletic combo forward. He’s always around the rim on a shot and is a confident shooter from the corners.
150
Derrell Woods Jr. Derrell Woods Jr. 5'11" | PG Taylor Trillium | 2021 State MI (PG, Taylor Trillium)
Woods Jr. is always capable of having a huge night. He’s a prolific score first type point guard that can play at any pace.
175
Dion Ross Dion Ross 6'2" | SG Detroit King | 2021 State MI (PG, HFASCS)
Ross is a smooth athlete at the shooting guard position. He’s fast with the ball and can get hot shooting.
200
Jacob Moceri Jacob Moceri 5'11" | SF Warren De La Salle | 2021 State MI (SG, Warren De La Salle)
Moceri is another young man that is a steal for a college coach at this number. He takes advantage of scoring opportunities and doesn’t need the offense to run through him to put up double figures.
