Duncan Moy Duncan Moy 6'4" | SG Joseph Badger | 2024 State OH , 6’4 SF Warren G Harding 2024: Moy really impressed me with his performance against Glen Oak in a tough playoff win. Moy has a solid handle, a decent shooter and passes the ball at a pretty high level. His most impressive play came near the end of the first half with this filthy behind the back dribble and finish with the left hand. Moy will likely debut in the top 30 of the next rankings update.
Ja’Corey Lipkins Ja’Corey Lipkins 6'1" | CG GlenOak | 2024 State OH , 6’1 CG Glen Oak 2024: Lipkins got his opportunity on varsity this season with Glen Oak and has ran with the keys of the offense this season. Lipkins is a talented scorer who had stretches of bringing back his team throughout the game. I’d like to see Lipkins improve as a passer, but he’ll have more chances with Wildcats Select on the 3SSB circuit surrounded by more talented teammates. Lipkins is another prospect that will likely debut in the top 30 during the next update.
Tyler McKinley Tyler McKinley 6'9" | PF Winton Woods | 2024 State #78 Nation OH , 6’8 C Walnut Hills 2024: McKinley is widely regarded as the top 2024 prospect in the state and showed exactly why on Friday night in a big-time playoff win for his team. McKinley is a great passer for his position and threw down a couple highlight dunks. While his guards sometimes struggled to get McKinley the ball in advantageous situations, McKinley still had his fingerprints all over this game.
Dorian Williams Dorian Williams 6'4" | SF Princeton | 2024 State OH , 6’4 SF Princeton 2024: Williams was the leading scorer in the game Vs Walnut Hills and his big third quarter gave the Vikings their biggest lead of the game. Williams is a tough wing who shoots the ball at a high level but also made some impressive hustle plays throughout the night. I’d like to see Williams improve his handle, but with his body, athleticism, shooting ability and motor, there’s a lot to like about Williams game.
