#69 Braylon Wheeler Braylon Wheeler 5'10" | PG Hayfield | 2022 State VA | 5’10” PG | Hayfield
Wheeler is a star on the rise at Hayfield as a scoring lead guard that changes pace well and can create off the bounce for himself and others. He’s a lefty that gets downhill and plays at multiple speeds, he has a great middle game with an array of floaters and pull-ups and he can stretch the floor from deep off the catch and off the bounce.
#71 Dorian Davis Dorian Davis 6'2" | SG Highland Springs | 2022 State VA | 6’1” WG | Highland Springs
Davis is an underrated guy in the Richmond area who’s part of a young Springs team that had their ups and downs this year. However, the surprise guy was Davis who worked his way into more and more time and showed more confidence throughout the season. He’s a sharp shooter from deep who can make shots off the catch and on the move and can score it in bunches when he gets it going.
#72 Michael Henderson Michael Henderson 5'7" | PG TC Williams | 2022 VA | 5’7” PG | TC Williams
Don’t be fooled by Henderson’s height, because he’s a guy who has gotten the best of many players much bigger than him so far in his high school career. He’s a prototypical small guard that sets the tone on both ends, he has a terrific handle and is jitter bug quick allowing him to break pressure and get in the lane and he’s a pest like ball defender who gets under the skin of opposing guards as well.
#74 Keishawn Pulley Keishawn Pulley 6'2" | CG St. Christopher's School | 2022 State VA | 6’1” CG | St. Chris
Pulley is a guy who was thrust into the point guard slot at St. Chris this year and did a relatively good job for them running their stuff and making plays, however his best attribute is his ability to make shots from deep. He has good size as a combo guard and showed that he can make shots both off the catch and off the bounce, and he’s a tough nosed kid that brings it on both ends every game.
#75 Dominic Shoemaker Dominic Shoemaker 6'2" | SG Osbourn Park | 2022 VA | 6’2” WG | Osbourn Park
Shoemaker is a guy who should see his role increase next year but got valuable experience this year playing alongside VSU commit Ethan Wilson Ethan Wilson 6'0" | PG Osbourn Park | 2020 State VA . An athletic two guard who can make shots off the catch and off the bounce, he has a budding skill set and is still growing into his body and should continue to develop with time.
#76 Anthony Fisher Anthony Fisher 6'0" | PG Benedictine | 2022 State VA | 5’10” PG | Benedictine
Fisher is a guy who played sparingly for a Benedictine team that was stacked with guys older than him at the position, but he does some things that are very impressive on the court. He’s a good athlete that’s strong and quick with the ball, he’s a tough kid and he’s a lock down defender who can come off the bench and shut down a guard who has been on his game.
#77 Jack Faulkner Jack Faulkner 5'11" | PG Patrick Henry | 2022 State VA | 5’10” PG | Roanoke Catholic
Faulkner is a part of a young Roanoke Catholic group that should continue to get better if they stay together, and while he isn’t the biggest or most athletic kid it’s hard not to like him when you watch him play. He’s a steady guard who knows his game and stays within it, he makes good decisions and handles pressure well and he’s a knock down shooter both off the catch and off the bounce.
#79 TJ Calloway TJ Calloway 5'7" | PG Richmond Christian School | 2022 VA | 5’5” PG | Holy Cross
Calloway is typically the smallest guy on the court, but don’t get it twisted this kid can straight up play. He’s a gritty lead guard who sees the floor well and makes great decisions, he’s a pit bull on both ends that doesn’t back down from anyone and he has good range and can create his own shot off the bounce as well.
#80 Josiah Banks Josiah Banks 6'3" | SF Floyd County | 2023 VA | 6’2” WF | Floyd County
Banks is an underrated guy in the mountain town that is chock full of potential and is part of a young Floyd group that should be able to compete with the best next year. He’s a long kid that’s likely still growing, he can put it on the floor both in transition and in the half court and he plays with good energy and a high motor on both ends of the floor.
