Often times, we see an aspect of 1 prospect’s game that makes us think of another prospect. We’re going to look at the top 5 ranked players in the class of 2022 and find a player further down in the rankings that, in some way, reminds us of that top 5 individual. In other words: The Top 5’s Twins.
Emoni Bates (SF, Ypsi Prep)
Prep Hoops Michigan Ranking: #1
And his twin –
Andrew Fuquay Andrew Fuquay 6'7" | SF Desert Valley Prep | 2023 State NV (SF, Detroit Pershing)
It’s tough to compare someone to the top prospect in the country, but Fuquay is my choice. They have similar height and build, and Fuquay is a solid finisher in Bates fashion.
Ty Rodgers Ty Rodgers 6'6" | SF Grand Blanc | 2022 #34 Nation IN (SF, Grand Blanc)
Prep Hoops Michigan Ranking: #2
And his twin –
Ty Rykse Ty Rykse 6'4" | SF Schoolcraft | 2022 State MI (SF, Schoolcraft)
Prep Hoops Michigan Ranking: #72
Rodgers and Ryske have the size and strength needed to be special. They are both excellent finishing at the rim.
JaVaughn Hannah JaVaughn Hannah 6'4" | SG Orchard Lake St. Mary's | 2022 State #221 Nation MI (SG, Ypsi Prep)
Prep Hoops Michigan Ranking: #3
And his twin –

Hannah and Vitto play similar style. Both are all downhill on offense, aggressively attacking the defense all game.
Kareem Rozier (PG, Orchard Lake St. Mary’s)
Prep Hoops Michigan Ranking: #4
And his twin –
Nick Szczechowski Nick Szczechowski 6'0" | PG Riverview Gabriel Richard | 2022 State MI (PG, Riverview Gabriel Richard)
Prep Hoops Michigan Ranking: #106
Rozier and Szczechowski have the same gritty approach to the game. They will both win hustle points and hit the floor for loose balls.
Orlando Lovejoy Orlando Lovejoy 6'3" | CG 1 of 1 Prep | 2022 State NC (PG, Summit Academy)
And his twin –
Duane Wright Duane Wright 5'10" | PG Detroit Cass Tech | 2022 State MI (PG, Detroit Cass Tech)
Lovejoy and Wright are must see prospects. Both of their games are predicated on their outstanding handles and quickness.
