If you dont believe that Timmy Knipp is a top 10 player in the state, you obviously havent watched him play. Timmy is the leading scorer in the state while shooting nearly 50 percent from the field, numbers any coach would take no matter how many shots per game he shoots. While he does play in the 16th region against weaker competition, nearly everytime he touches the ball he is doubled and sometime even tripled team, something players like Zollo or Stenzel rarely face due to having better players around them than Timmy does. He started on the best AAU team in the state, regardless of class, and was very productive, racking up 4 D1 offers and attracting the eye of many high major schools. He has led a very young team to a great year this year and has thrived in the role of 'being the man' and took on leadership responsibilites of one of the most inexperienced teams in the whole state. He single handly led Elliott Co. back to the region tourney this year with a 45pt, 9 reb, 10 blocks, and 10 steal performance against West Carter in the first round of the distict. As far as he defense goes, he is absoultely one of the best shot blockers in the state. Whether he will win Mr. Basketball or not is obviously still up in the air but he will be right up there for the honor. Elliott still has a shot to make it to Rupp this year and will return every key piece and will surely be the favorite again next year.
