The leading returning scorer in the league, Dibert is also a gifted passer who ranks second among returnees in assists. If he can improve his efficiency a bit, he could get up over 20 points a game as a senior.
2022 Garrett Kurtenbach, Turkey Valley: 14.0 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 2.4 steals
A 6-1 wing who can score at a high level, Kurtenbach also competes hard on the glass, leading the Trojans in rebounding last season.
2022 Caleb Helle, Clayton Ridge: 14.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 3.0 steals
A 6-0 lead guard, Helle stuffs the stat sheet as well as any other player in the league. His 4.9 assists a game are tops among returnees, as are his 3.0 steals.
2022 Caden Palmer, Clayton Ridge: 13.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 2.5 steals
Another solid defender who swiped 2.5 steals a game, Palmer pairs with Helle to give the Eagles a dynamic one-two punch on the perimeter.
