High school basketball nears the end of the 2023 season, with many states already crowning champions.
At the front of the hardwood action from the east to west, there have been a ton of standout players beyond the headliners like Bronny James, Isaiah Collier and Justin Edwards.
As the final tipoffs begin, we’re taking a look at the top-rated basketball player in each state.
Here’s the breakdown for all 50, which includes if the player has decided to stay in state or not.
(Note: Some states lacked consensus data for a top selection. In those instances, we chose the top player based on our estimates from career and senior stat lines and accolades.)
