Top-140 most impactful in AIA: 22-28

The next in the ’Top-140 most impactful in AIA’ countdown, we look at numbers 22-28.  Remember, these are not player rankings but how much they impact their team along with the talent they go against during the season.  A lot of these players in the end can be put in different rankings for the final-36, but now I am looking for players who are putting up stats while winning games. Not an easy task to do. Most will have one or the other.     Here are the next seven:  Jason Kimbrough Jr Jason Kimbrough Jr 6'1" | PG Bella Vista Prep | 2022 AZ (Mountain Pointe) (Pictured)  -One of the team leaders for the Pride is a true two-way player. He makes it very difficult for his opponents. He avg 13 points 2.6 assists 2.6 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game. (Not all the stats were loaded in). He’s one of those important players where not all stats matter. He will look to get them back to the 6A Chip.   Mark Brown Jr Mark Brown Jr 6'2" | PG Mountain Pointe | 2023 State AZ (Mountain Pointe) -Kimbrough Jr's partner in crime will be one of the rare sophs to be with Brown. The dynamic guard was a tough two-way guard as well. He avg 12.8 points 3.3 assists 3.3 rebounds and 2.2 steals per game. (Not all the stats were loaded in). He showed off his upside in the 6A Chip with 20 points.  Lareon Ginnis Lareon Ginnis 5'9" | PG AZ Compass Prep | 2022 State AZ (South Mountain)  -The Jaguars move up to 6A but they are equipped with top guards. Their true floor general will be Ginnis. He is a big time passer and is fast in the open court. They lost in the 5A Final-4 this season and look to make a deep run in 6A. He avg 7.2 points 7.1 assists 4.8 rebounds and 2.1 steals. The Brown/Kimbrough Jr vs Freeney/Ginnis will be exciting if they ever play next season.    Oakland Fort Oakland Fort 5'9" | PG Sunnyslope | 2022 State AZ (Sunnyslope)  -Another top young 6A guard will have more on his plate next season. He avg 10 points 3 assists 4.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game. Him and Basham may form a dangerous inside outside duo moving up to 6A next season. The Vikings lost in the Final-4 to eventual winners Ironwood in 5A.   Tru Washington Tru Washington 6'3" | SG Mountain Pointe | 2023 State #58 Nation AZ (Cesar Chavez)  -The last freshman and soon to be soph on the list is Washington. He is what most call a ’dog’ on both sides of the court. He shows high effort in every game played. I think he will take this team over next season. He averaged 13.9 points 5 rebounds 2 assists 2 steals and .8 blocks per game. The Champions were the #8 seed this season in 6A.  Jaylen Wesley Jaylen Wesley 6'4" | PF McClintock | 2022 State AZ (McClintock) -My breakout player of the year in 5A and underclassman of the year was Wesley. A true warrior that is a double-double nightmare. He averaged 15.7 points 10.9 rebounds 2.4 steals and 1.2 assists per game. The Chargers were the #9 seed in 5A this season and look to get back in next year.  Marcus Wady Marcus Wady 5'11" | PG Bella Vista Prep | 2021 State AZ (Desert Vista) -The lead guard on the 6A state champs is a wizard with the ball. He had many impressive ’dimes’ over the year and will look to lead them back to the finals. He averaged 8.4 points 4.5 assists 3.7 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game. His numbers will spike up without Osasere Ighodaro Osasere Ighodaro 6'10" | PF Desert Vista | 2020 State #87 Nation AZ and Andrew King Andrew King 6'3" | CG Bella Vista Prep | 2022 State AZ .
