Overview

The top available prospect in the 2023 class, Isaiah Collier, looks to have a monster senior season at Wheeler. Wheeler is known for playing fast and playing hard and with the combination of guard and forward play, it will be hard to stop the Wildcats in transition. Playing in the state of Georgia, you have to bring your A-game every night, with Collier running the lead guard position and 4-Star USC commit Arrinten Page leading the front court, Wheeler will once again be state championship contenders.

Player Spotlight

Isaiah Collier, a top five ranked player out of the class of 2023, is one of, if not the best point guard in the country. He shined this spring and summer playing with The Skill Factory (GA) on the Nike EYBL circuit. Collier can do it all, but passing the ball may be his best skill. He can set up any teammate to score and do it with some flash. He is great at getting defenders to focus on him, then find teammates cutting to the rim. Scoring the basketball comes natural to Collier, as he can score the ball in bunches from multiple levels. Besides being an elite passer and scorer, Collier has a very high basketball IQ and plays the game the right way. He will once again be the leader of this Wheeler team.

In the last year, Arrinten Page has emerged as one of the best big men in the country. Committing to USC recently, Page looks to improve his game even more in his senior season at Wheeler. He is not your traditional post player, as he can score the ball differently than most forwards and centers in the country. Page can stretch the floor with his shot making abilities. When he is in the post, he is very effective as well. He can finish over either shoulder and has some elite footwork. Overall for Wheeler to be successful, they need Page to dominate the glass and score the ball at an efficient rate, both areas that he can do at an elite level.
