2027 Rankings Update: Top Point Guards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's still SUPER early for 2027 prospects but there are some making massive noise on the court already and have potential to reach the scholarship level in college by the time their high school careers end. These are the top point guards in our freshman rankings update, not including players who were in the top 10.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1745591"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Turner's numbers have taken a hit this year compared to his 8th grade season but Boyle is now riding a 5 game win streak that has coincided with improved play from Guy.

Kade is mostly a facilitator for Collins right now and doesn't force his offense or take a ton of bad shots. Goodin has good size and D1 genetics. If he starts becoming a better shooter from range, he could be a D1 sleeper in hoops and not just in football.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65bbd9a948df4"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2120266"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Primarily known as a shooter prior to this season, Trent is actually having a better season getting to the rim and scoring in the midrange than he's had shooting the three.
