The Class of 2024 has a really nice mix of perimeter players, and currently our Top-150 is home to 39 2-guard prospects who make up 26.0% of all 2024 prospects ranked in Indiana. Among this group are creators, shooters, slashers, multilevel scorers, and talented, versatile athletes. Below is a look at those 39 prospects, as well as some added information and analysis on a handful of girls who have stood out since our last rankings update in September.

Benton Central | 2024

, 2024, 5-9 SG/SF, Benton Central H.S.
– Sienna is a long, wiry-strong, fluidly athletic wing who many of you likely aren’t familiar with unless you’ve seen Benton Central. She is a high-level volleyball player as well and spends much of her offseason playing the nets. But for the Bison, she is a capable perimeter shooter who can also attack the basket, plus she’s a versatile defender. Her father, Todd, played for Purdue in the mid-1990’s.

– Candyce is a long, wiry-strong, and very athletic guard who really stood out this Fall at a showcase event I attended. Her speed and athleticism will catch your eye at first, helping her as a playmaker in transition. She has solid ball skill and the ability to score it at all three levels, so once she really starts to learn the nuances of the game, she could be a real threat in the half-court as well.

, 2024, 5-7 SG, Bethany Christian H.S.
– Zoe is a nice, strong, physical guard who plays compact with the ball. She does a nice job of attacking the basket straight-line, plus she can knock down the open jumper consistently enough to keep defenses honest. Recently, she has shown the ability to slide over and play efficiently on the basketball, initiating the offense. She is averaging 20.2 points and 10.4 rebounds per game.

Zionsville | 2024
State
IN
, 2024, 5-7 SG/SF, Zionsville Community H.S.
– Emma just continues to be a bulldog on the floor, and her motor is typically unparalleled most games. She has worked hard on developing her skillset the last couple of years, and her handle and shooting mechanics are much improved. She has helped Zionsville to a 13-5 record this year, averaging 10.0 points and 2.5 rebounds per game.
Josie Hayden

Castle | 2024

– It had been a little while since I had seen Josie at length, but watching her during a Fall showcase event, she looked much stronger, more confident, and more productive. She has really good length, fluid athleticism, and she plays with nice versatility. She can knock down an open jumper or slash to the basket, and she can defend multiple positions.
Claire Lindsey

, 2024, 5-7 CG, Roncalli H.S.
– Following multiple personnel losses after the 2020-2021 season, via both graduation and transfers, Claire has now found herself in a much more critical role for the Royals. She is averaging 9.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.2 steals per game against a difficult schedule. Claire is a tough-nosed, hard-working, and skillful combo guard who can knock down shots outside.

(2024) when you mention Bedford, but Madisyn is kind of that third piece to the puzzle. She has really stepped up in her second year, as she has a strong, athletic frame, good all-around skill, and the versatility to play both on and off the ball. She is contributing 3.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 2.6 steals per game for the Lady Stars.
Jayden Flagg

, 2024, 5-5 CG, New Prairie H.S.
– Jayden unfortunately missed much of her Freshman year following a significant injury, but she’s back in 2021-2022 and starting to find her stride. She is a solid all-around combo guard who can play both on and off the ball productively. She is averaging 11.0 points and 2.7 assists for the Cougars, plus she’s shooting an impressive 89% from the charity stripe.
Chloey Graham

Gibson Southern | 2024

, 2024, 5-9 CG, Gibson Southern H.S.
– Chloey had a strong Freshman campaign, averaging 14.7 points per game, but she’s playing even better in year-two. She has a fairly strong frame, she can handle the ball and create for herself or others, but her ability to shoot/score is next-level. She is averaging 17.4 points per game, but it’s her 42% 3-point shooting (40-96) and 85% free throw shooting (22-26) that stand out even more.
