Continue reading for a look at some of the top newcomers to the class of 2023 rankings update.
Jack Keller Jack Keller 6'3" | SG Columbia | 2023 State ID , Columbia: Keller does a little bit of everything for the Columbia Wildcats and he is a high energy player on both ends of the floor. On offense, Keller has a nice looking shot from outside and can shoot the ball at a high level whenever he feels he has enough space. On defense, Jack is a tough defender who always finds a way to come up with steals before pushing the ball in transition. With 2 seasons left of high school basketball, I am excited to watch Jack settle into his game a little more.
Mason Strong Mason Strong 5'10" | PG Homedale | 2023 State ID , Homedale: Mason is a tough player for Homedale and he is a really physical player. Strong uses his namesake to his advantage while bullying his way to the rim for easy buckets against weaker defenders. He can really score at will in the paint and he constantly makes tough shots around the basket. From outside, Mason is still developing his outside stroke and getting more comfortable with shooting from distance. Defensively, Mason is a great rebounder that always plays hard.
Trenton Fisher Trenton Fisher 5'11" | SG Homedale | 2023 State ID , Homedale: Fisher had a great season during this past year for Homedale and will look to build upon his successes. Fisher leaves it all out on the floor every time he plays and his energy helps motivate all of his teammates. Trenton finishes well at the rim and has a deadly mid-range jumper that he can always get off against any and all defenders. His footwork is unmatched and he has a true understanding and appreciation for the game and all of the fundamentals.
