In another amazing season filled with outstanding players, Whatcom Hoops is ranking the top 30 boys. Each day we’ll feature an outstanding player in our county and count down until we get to #1. So join us daily as we honor the best of the best.
#18
Orion Granberg-Kiddle, junior, Squalicum
WHY HE’S #18: One of the most improved players in the Northwest Conference, the 6-foot-5 post went from the JV squad last season to becoming one of the best big men in the NWC. He was a double-double machine, averaging more than 11 points and 10 rebounds a game while shooting 43 percent from the field.
COACH DAVID DUNHAM: “Orion led the team in rebounding and gave us a strong interior presence all season. He also shot a high percentage from the free-throw line and made major improvements in his overall game.
NOTE: Thank you to the coaches and to Tyler Anderson of WhatcomPreps.com for season stats.
