Delaware 2026 Rankings Update: Under the Radar Wings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The wings are the strength of this class. So the top 10 is littered with them. But there's also a cluster of them between 15 and 25 who could be really good in their own right. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#16 [player_tooltip player_id='2365471' first='Dominic' last='Downs'] | 6'4 W/F Salesianum</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With his stout build and calm demeanor, Downs is quietly one of the best shooters in the state. As a sophomore, he mostly played in garbage time or when a starter was in early foul trouble. That should change as a junior. In addition to the range on his spot-up jumpers, he can use his smooth release to walk into pull-ups if given enough space. Downs spacing the floor from deep is an extension of his ability to execute offense from the high post.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#17 [player_tooltip player_id='2365472' first='Mark' last='Brown'] | 6'7 W/F Salesianum</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Unlike his classmate, Brown didn't see much action at all last season or as a freshman. But he is no less of an intriguing prospect. He comes from a family of tall, lanky athletes - most recent of them is his brother Luke Brown - and has grown 3 inches since entering high school. At the 4 position, he is versatile enough to stretch the floor with threes and/or be a rim-runner. The bounce he displays when catching lobs should translate to the defensive end too.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#18 [player_tooltip player_id='2387594' first='Dustin' last='Pederson'] | 6'5 W Delmar</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hailing from “The Little Town Too Big For One State,” not many get a chance to lay eyes on Pederson, but he's worth a watch. His background as a soccer player shows up in how well he moves for his size. Pederson can attack smaller players off-the-dribble from the perimeter, in addition to shooting over them. His agility on grass also translates to how well he runs the floor. As an upperclassman, hopefully he gets more and bigger stages to display his talent on the court.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#19 [player_tooltip player_id='2438159' first='Aydin' last='Scott'] | 6'5 W/F St. Marks</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>New to the rankings, Scott has been in the lab on JV. But based on his 16U performances, he's ready to make a big splash on varsity. Scott has shown flashes as a weak-side shot-blocker, able to cover ground with his agility and physical tools. He's also able to switch and guard out on the perimeter. Although his offensive game has a ways to go, Scott has the potential to be a versatile player on that end too. He can already handle the rock in space and attack with straight line drives.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#20 [player_tooltip player_id='2411598' first='Dominic' last='Awahmukalah'] | 6'4 W Howard</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another of the new additions to the rankings, Awahmukalah certainly fits the 3 and D mold. He has a ton of confidence shooting off-the-catch when defenders help off of him. His high release makes him hard to contest too. Awahmukalah shows glimpses of a handle and should soon be a threat attacking closeouts. On the opposite end of the floor, his long arms are his best asset. Even if he's beat on-ball or off-ball, he has the length to recover and block shots.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
