2028 Review: Notable Shot Creators

Every team needs scoring, these are few of the class's best perimeter shotmakers and creators at this stage. Most of these names will get an opportunity at the varsity level from the jump.    Lambert's size, skill, and relative quickness makes the guard an intriguing name within this class. Especially skilled finishing around the basket, he maximizes his hangtime against opposing contests. Throughout the summer, he showed upside scoring from all three levels, although he has been at his best within the mid-range. Given how quick his first step already is, he finds ways to pressure the rim, comfortable making quick reads against incoming help. Defensively, Lambert should hold his own, particularly as he adds strength in the coming years.     Robinson has upside as a complementary shotmaker, confident off the catch and willing to attack the closeout if the lane opens up. The guard already brings a lanky frame, adept at defending both backcourt positions given his lateral and vertical quickness. George Washington brings in plenty of underclassmen talent, particularly in the backcourt, Robinson will be the latest addition to that group.     Phipps is comfortable attacking the lane at full speed, adept at drawing pressure due to his quickness from the first step. The first year guard is sure to inject plenty of energy into a fast paced Liberty group, setting the tone whenever he steps foot on hardwood. That same energy can be translated onto the defensive end too, capable of holding his own at the point of attack. Only a handful of names in this class get downhill to the same speed at Phipps, bright future ahead for the Colorado Springs guard.     Spears will be tasked with spacing the floor and attacking openings in the lane, working to bolster Chaparral's halfcourt offense. Although undersized, the guard has a very high IQ on either end, particularly at this stage in his career. Able to read the floor quickly, he wastes no time attacking openings in the lane, regardless of what end of the ball. Spears has potential to be the best floor spacer within the class, given his quick release and ability to relocate for off-balance attempts.     Walkowiak's willingness to attack the lane grants him plenty of opportunities for free throws and exciting finishes at the rim. A smooth ball handler who is comfortable one on one or from ball screens, the guard has the upside to make noise for ThunderRidge early on. Hitting multiple game winners throughout the summer, the guard is truly fearless in nerve wracking situatinos. At the point of attack, Walkowiak handles opposing playmakers well, quick laterally to wall of the lane with ease.     A fearless finisher around the rim, Carrillo will be an energizing scoring option out of the backcourt up in Greeley. Adept at contributing tough finishes at the basket, his right hand is about as dependable as anyone in this class. Capable of heating up from distance, the guard has no trouble stepping into three point attempts should the opposing defense fail to show an urgent contest.
