Here are the top combo guards in 2027 rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2201961' first='Vasuan' last='Harper'], 6'1 Immaculate Conception</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harper is the top ranked combo guard in the update and has the potential to have a big sophomore season. The 6'1 guard attacks the basket with a purpose as he finishes strong around the basket and can make shots through contact. Harper can also score in the mid-range and sets his feet before he shoots. He moves well without the ball in his hands and can get deflections on the defensive end. Harper will have the ball in his hands more this season, which will help his stock in a big way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2201960' first='Rashad' last='Robinson'], 6'3 Hudson Catholic</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Robinson is part of a talented Hawks' backcourt, but that won't stop him from making an impact on the floor this season. The 5'11 guard has a tight handle, which he uses to blow by his defender and can finish in a variety of ways around the basket. Robinson has a good touch on his floater and wastes little motion in his release. He can find his open teammates in the halfcourt and slides his feet on defense. Robinson has knocked down a pair of triples in each of his last two games and should continue his scoring over the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2201953' first='Jayden' last='Johnson'], 6'1 Elizabeth</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson has started off the season on a high note as he has two 20-point games already this season. The 6'1 guard has a smooth shooting stroke and can knock down triples in bunches. Johnson is more than just a shooter as he can also get to the rim off the bounce and is a crafty finisher around the rim. He is an underrated rebounder and works hard on the defensive end. Johnson has the ability to put up points in bunches and should continue to do so this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2473558' first='Gilbert' last='Baez-Rodriguez'], 6'5 St. Benedict's</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Baez-Rodriguez has the ability to play on the wing as well, making him one of the more intriguing prospects in the class. The 6'5 guard has a good first step, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and can draw contact in the paint. Baez-Rodriguez uses his length to see over his defender and rarely gets sped up by on-ball pressure. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and is a solid rebounder. Baez-Rodriguez is a lanky guard prospect whose ability to impact the game at both ends of the floor will help his development throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2201950' first='Elijah' last='Colon'], 6'1 Hudson Catholic</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Colon transferred into the Hawks this offseason and is looking to make his mark right away. The 6'1 guard has a clean release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Colon rarely forces jumpers in the halfcourt and is able to find his open teammates in the halfcourt. He works hard on the defensive end and is an underrated rebounder. Colon's ability to stretch the floor is something that will help his stock throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other Prospects to Know:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2347952' first='Jahlil' last='Owusu'], 6'2 Bergen Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2628179' first='Mason' last='Murawski'], 6'2 Middle Township</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2344526' first='MJ' last='Jarrell'], 6'2 Morristown-Beard</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2347281' first='Nairi' last='Latham'], 6'1 Marion P.
