2026 Rankings: New G/W to Watch

We have added a good bunch of guards and wings from watching games over the spring, summer, and into fall, and these next few players represent some of the new talent to the 2026 rankings that are worthy of a look this winter. Check out some new names that should impact the game from the perimeter this season.    Here's a wing who has really come alive this spring and summer, showing he can knock down the three-ball, get separation off the bounce, and have the strength to finish around bodies inside. He's shifty, has good length for a guard, and has shown some nice shot creation from the perimeter, setting up his man with combos and getting into gaps to attack. He could be in for a big season in his junior year.     Hill's a two-way guard who brings bounds of energy to the floor, can play with pace, and picks his spots well on the offensive end. He can knock down the outside shots at a good clip, shows the toughness needed to play in traffic, and makes quick decisions when the rock comes his way. He's a guy who should be in for a strong junior season and will play a big role for a West Valley team looking to capitalize on a talented roster.     Freeman already has a couple of long, athletic wing-type players leading the way ([player_tooltip player_id='1485663' first='Tanner' last='Goldsmith'] 15.4 ppg, [player_tooltip player_id='1485584' first='Colton' last='Wells'] 12.9 ppg), but LaPointe shows the capability to be a strong accent to those guys this season. He has the size, athleticism, and focus to make an impact on the defensive end, but also has the skill to take advantage of 1-on-1's on the offensive end and knock down shots in space. He'll be an important piece to a team that has the talent to make a run at the 2B title.     After scoring in double figures in just four of their first eight games last season, DeHaan ended the year with 10 straight games in double figures, including six with 16+ points. He was their leading scorer last year and the next three top-scorers were all seniors. They had seven total seniors on the squad last year, so even more responsibility will fall on DeHaan to lead the way. He has good size, shows good touch from different areas, and has the strength and poise to finish around bodies in the paint.     Tahoma has a pretty good track record developing kids with size and Anderson could be one of their next skilled forwards coming up. He can hit shots off the dribble in the midrange, has shown some ability to stretch the floor out to three, and does a great job working the glass inside. He'll be one to watch this winter as Tahoma brings in an entirely new starting five this season.     The 6'6 wing averaged 14.3 ppg as a freshman and just under 20 ppg last season as a sophomore. He's a legit threat from 3-point and has shown some ability to play off his outside shot and get closer in for short pull-ups and paint shots. His squad returns some key guys and should be in the mix in the 1B, especially if Gledhill keeps taking the next step and showing why he's one of the more interesting prospects at the 1B level.
