Class of 2026 Positional Rankings – Shooting Guards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There is no offseason here at the Prep Hoops Indiana headquarters. However, the transition between the scholastic period in June back to grassroots basketball in July serves a logical point to reset and refresh our prospect rankings. Last week, we hit the Class of 2027 expanding our rankings to a Top 25 while growing our Watch List to over 200 names. Now, to begin the month of July, we have released an expanded Top 125 for the Class of 2026 along with over 200 names on the Watch List. Along with releasing our rankings, we always like to dive deeper and provide more context. That means highlighting stock-risers, new names, positional breakdowns, and much more. Let's take a look at some of the rising juniors at the shooting guard position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1561449"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66854944e5999"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Ranked as the #1 overall prospect in the Prep Hoops Indiana Class of 2026 Prospect Rankings.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Holds multiple high-major offers and is ranked as a 4-star, Top 75 prospect nationally.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Averaged 20.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 3.2 blocks per game as a sophomore.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1534261"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66854944e5a17"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>After getting his feet wet at the varsity level as a freshman, Curry II transitioned into a much larger role as a sophomore at Noblesville averaging 10.0 points and 4.2 rebounds per game.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Currently holds scholarship offers from Indiana State, Kent State, and Toledo.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Known as a high-level shooter with fluid athleticism and length on the perimeter.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1565984"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66854944e5a87"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Transfer from Trinity High School in Louisville that immediately became a Top 10 prospect in Indiana's Class of 2026.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Joins an Avon team that already returns the vast majority of their production from a Sectional championship team.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Excellent physical and athletic tools on the perimeter.
