From this article on risers in the 2023 recruiting class:
Recruitment: Committed to Saint Mary’s
Previous ranking: 139
New ranking: 87
Why he moved: The single biggest riser in the final rankings, 6-foot-3 Jordan Ross has all of the tools to turn into a college star. He’s got good size for a point guard, he knows how to run a team, he makes those around him better and while his first instinct is to get others shots, he’s a capable finisher at the rim and competent shot-maker from deep. He’s got a great frame to build on, his basketball IQ is off the charts and he looks like he could be next in a long line of guards who has experienced tremendous success under the guidance of Randy Bennett.

The Nuggets don’t expect Aaron Gordon to shut down Kevin Durant, but his defensive effort so far has played a large role in Denver’s 2-0 series lead, writes Sean Keeler of The Denver Post. Durant has scored 29 and 24 points in the first two games of the series, but he’s had to work hard to get them. He shot 10-for-27 from the field in Game 2 and was just 2-for-12 from beyond the arc.
Gordon’s defense is a big part of that effort, Keeler adds. In the 17 minutes that he has been Durant’s primary defender during the series, Gordon has limited the Suns‘ star to 8-of-20 from the floor and 1-of-5 on three-pointers with just two free throws and five turnovers. That follows a similar defensive performance against Karl-Anthony Towns in the first round...
