2.) Luke Rankin Luke Rankin 5'10" | PG Dallas Center-Grimes | 2021 State IA (Dallas Center-Grimes, 2021) – 6.4 assists per game
Rankin is half of what should be 3A’s best backcourt ( Cole Glasgow Cole Glasgow 6'2" | SG Dallas Center- Grimes | 2022 State IA ). The skilled lefty senior takes fantastic care of the ball, dishing out 6.4 assists per game last year, against just 1.7 turnovers.
3.) Tony Terrones Tony Terrones 5'10" | PG Gilbert | 2021 State IA (Gilbert, 2021) – 5.8 assists per game
Gilbert was one of 3A’s highest-scoring teams last year, and Terrones’ ability to feed their scorers was a big reason why. He paces an offense that should be potent again.
4.) Mason Murphy Mason Murphy 5'9" | PG Ballard | 2021 State IA (Ballard, 2021) – 5.4 assists per game
The lead guard for our preseason #1 team in the class, Murphy is a true pass-first guard who thrives on getting his teammates involved.
5.) Nathaniel Mueller Nathaniel Mueller 5'7" | PG ADM | 2021 IA (ADM, 2021) – 5.2 assists per game
One of the best cross country runners the state has seen, Mueller has stamina for days, and he can wear down opposing defenders. Equally adept scoring or facilitating, he’s in line for a huge senior season.
6.) Carson Toebe Carson Toebe 6'3" | PG Clear Lake | 2022 State IA (Clear Lake, 2022) – 4.4 assists per game
An extremely talented lead guard with great court vision and size, Toebe has a great feel for the game and can stuff the stat sheet in a variety of ways. Look for him to improve his turnover number this year.
7.) Kieren Nichols Kieren Nichols 5'11" | PG Knoxville | 2021 State IA (Knoxville, 2021) – 4.3 assists per game
Also one of the state’s best scorers, Nichols uses his ability to get to the bucket to create not only for himself, but for his teammates as well.
8.) Camden Lo (Saydel, 2022) – 4.2 assists per game
It was a rough year for Saydel, winning just one game, but Lo was a bright spot, showing his ability to create for others.
9.) Hogan Hansen Hogan Hansen 6'3" | SF Waverly-Shell Rock | 2022 State IA (Waverly-Shell Rock, 2022) – 4.0 assists per game
Hansen averaged 15.5 points and 5.7 rebounds to go with his 4 assists a game. If he can clean up the turnovers a bit, he and the Go-Hawks could have a big-time bounceback season.
10.) Jaxon Baumgartner (Le Mars, 2021) – 3.9 assists per game
Le Mars has two big scorers back, but Baumgartner is the piece that really makes their offense go, getting others involved and protecting the ball.
