Continue ReadingUpdating the rankings is always a difficult process which requires lots of mental preparation as well as countless hours of film and watching game play. I never take the rankings updates lightly and I try my best to do everyone justice while rewarding great strides the most. That being said, I am human, and I have likely forgotten some players or skipped over players that deserve to have been given more than just a glance. I apologize upfront for any of these issues. However, I would like to announce this rankings update and encourage you to continue reading to see the top stock-risers from the class of 2022.
Cameren Cope Cameren Cope 6'4" | PF Coeur d'Alene | 2022 State ID , Coeur d’Alene: Cope hopped up a couple of spots during this ranking after a strong showing this summer and the potential to have a great upcoming season for the Vikings of the north. Cope plays at a high level whenever he steps foot on the court and he is constantly finding new ways to score or get his teammates involved. Cameren has developed a really great jump shot and will look to include it even more during the upcoming season.
Kross Taylor Kross Taylor 6'3" | SG Lapwai | 2022 State ID , Lapwai: Taylor allowed himself to make a slight jump in the rankings after playing a big role in Lapwai’s championship win during last season, as well as a solid summer of AAU basketball. Taylor is a really solid combo guard who plays with sense of belonging and pride. Taylor does not back down from any opponents and he constantly pushes himself and rises above the level of competition. Watch for Kross to have a really solid senior season while leading Lapwai on their quest to repeat as state champions.
Kaden Christensen Kaden Christensen 6'0" | SG Centennial | 2022 State ID , Centennial: Kaden had a really strong summer of basketball and took control and leadership responsibilities for a struggling Centennial program. Kaden can score at all levels and he is continuing to work on improving his consistency in all aspects of his game. Christensen can become another great player from Centennial if he can put all of skills together and play at a high level consistently. Watch for Christensen to become ranked even higher if he can find ways to keep himself playing at a high level night in and night out.
