Continue ReadingThe top player in the first round of state rankings is Will Anciaux Will Anciaux 6'6" | PF Kapaun Mt Carmel | 2023 State KS from Wichita. He was an important contributor for Kapaun as a freshman, averaging about 10 points and six rebounds. His 6-foot-6 frame and athleticism serves him well on the football field, and he brings toughness to the court. Despite his youth, he was lights out from the line and was dynamite in the lane. He earned honorable mention all-City League as a freshman. Kapaun is loaded with rising stars, so Anciaux won’t have all the pressure on himself.
Here are the five other power forwards in the first edition of the Kansas 2023 Player Rankings:
5 Tyler Little Tyler Little 6'5" | PF Galena | 2023 State KS , Galena:
The 6-foot-5 Little is a versatile talent who was already a prime-time performer as a freshman. He averaged 10 rebounds per game, and was a scorer as well for Galena. He works hard a both ends and finds lots of opportunities on put backs.
19 Jack Voth Jack Voth 6'6" | PF J.T. Hoggard | 2023 State NC , Buhler:
The big man is tough on the defensive end and is just as likely to draw a charge as he is to block a shot in the lane. The 6-foot-4 Voth has the skills to take the ball full court on the drive, as well as to catch and score on the block or on the move through the lane.
22 Samuel Same’ Samuel Same’ 6'4" | PF Derby | 2023 KS , Derby:
Same’ is respected by coaches in the Wichita area who know the 6-foot-4 athlete’s talents. He played up a grade during the summer for the 16U Mentality by Michael Watson club. Watch for him to make himself known on the talented Derby roster.
36 Kaden McDaniel Kaden McDaniel 6'4" | PF Augusta | 2023 State KS , Augusta:
The 6-foot-4 stud is showing off his athleticism by making plays all over the field as a receiver and defensive back for Augusta. He made equally big plays for the state-qualifier on the court last year. He will build upon that experience come winter time for the Orioles.
44 Aiden Sullivan Aiden Sullivan 6'8" | PF Olathe Northwest | 2023 State KS , Olathe Northwest:
Sullivan is a big-bodied athlete who will try to show on the high school level the talents he’s demonstrated to club coaches.
