Ryan Lewis Ryan Lewis 6'4" | SG Clackamas | 2021 State OR (2021 Clackamas) +31 (from #76 to #44)
The biggest riser on our updated rankings is Lewis, who went from someone we knew almost nothing about to arguably the second-best player at Clackamas after Ben Gregg Ben Gregg 6'8" | SF Clackamas | 2021 #50 Nation OR . The 6-foot-3 wing plays with a high motor, bigger than his size on the boards, and is capable of knocking down open jumpers.
Tavon Wilson Tavon Wilson 6'1" | CG Madison/McDaniel | 2021 State OR (2012 Madison) +20 (from #85 to #65)
Wilson was a newcomer at Madison this past season after previously living in Georgia and he made an instant impact for the Senators. The 6-foot combo guard is athletic, plays a bit with a chip on his shoulder, and simply makes plays with the basketball on both ends of the floor.
Hunter Chubb Hunter Chubb 6'2" | CG Crater | 2021 State OR (2021 Crater) +19 (from #74 to #55)
Crater was mostly all about Nate Bittle – and understandably so – but he had plenty of support including Chubb. The 6-foot-1 combo guard is known best for his sharp shooting as he can really get hot from three, but he’s also got sneaky athleticism where he finishes strong at the rim on the break.
Trenton Rymal Trenton Rymal 6'4" | SF Franklin | 2021 State OR (2021 Franklin) +19 (from #82 to #63)
Rymal has a strong build at 6-foot-4 and played a key role in Franklin’s playoff push in 2019-20. A strong shooter when open, he really made an impression on us when he caught fire against Jefferson and knocked down seven threes against the Demos.
Liam Ruttledge Liam Ruttledge 6'2" | CG Jesuit | 2021 State OR (2021 Jesuit) +17 (from #42 to #25)
We first saw Ruttledge in summer league before last season and liked the way he shot the ball and the swagger he played with. That translated into his junior season where he became a key offensive weapon for the Crusaders. He’s primed for a big senior year.
Nash Kuykendall Nash Kuykendall 6'4" | SF Sheldon | 2021 State OR (2021 Sheldon) +16 (from #40 to #24)
Sheldon had a whole host of guys that could contribute on any night last season but one guy that stood out was Kuykendall, largely because of his athleticism. With his lean 6-foot-4 body, he’s able to get to the basket and finish at the cup thanks to his leaping ability.
Aiden Grady Aiden Grady 6'7" | PF Westview | 2021 State OR (2021 Westview) +16 (from #80 to #64)
Grady made his debut on varsity as a junior and with his 6-foot-6 size, immediately helped out with his size. This summer with International Elite he made even more strides, showcasing his soft touch around the basket and his ability to step out and hit open jumpers.
Roy Bunn Roy Bunn 5'9" | PG Jesuit | 2021 State OR (2021 Jesuit) +13 (from #20 to #7)
There were a number of others with a +13 jump but the only one into the top ten was Bunn. The heady 5-foot-9 point guard really set the tone for Jesuit as a junior and in the action we saw of him this summer, he really controlled every game he played. Bunn is primed to have a big senior season.
