Here is our midseason Dominant Dozen watchlist for boys' high school basketball in 2023-24

Our Dominant Dozen watchlist for the 2023-24 boys' high school basketball season has been released.

The Dominant Dozen, in its fourth season, will be announced at the end of the postseason. The list annually honors the 12 most impactful players of the high school basketball season.

The majority of the names who are on this list will make the postseason team or the Next Dozen. There are a few who are going to make their names known over the next two months while leading their teams on postseason runs. If your name or your favorite athlete's name isn't on here, just know that we're not counting you out.

Here is the watchlist through games played Jan. 16.
