2028 Rankings Update: Can't Miss Shooting Guards

Gray has shown upside as a floor spacer at previous showcase events, certainly a name who could crack into Heritage's rotation next season due to their reliance on perimeter shooters.     McDougal works to make his decisions quickly, either while scoring the ball or making his next read. A name to follow in the coming years due to his ability to be a threat on or off the ball, McDougal looks ready for opportunity in due time.     Magassouba is a backcourt name worth following given his defensive abilities at the point of attack, comfortable holding his own against a wealth of backcourt opponents. His physical tools give him upside as a small ball forward capable matching up bigger names as needed.     McMonigle is a comfortable three point shooter, confident letting it fly when opposing defenses fail to rotate on time. His willingness to relocate while off-ball either as a cutter or spacer has been essential towards his offensive opportunities.     Hakeem is a must know name given his athleticism and upside as a perimeter shooter. Bringing above the rim capabilities dating back to last summer, the guard is much farther along in this respect than the vast majority of names within this class.     Hanneman has been a steady decisionmaker, rarely sped up by opposing defenses when leading up to a pass or shot attempt. Bringing a well rounded offensive game, bringing in shotmaking versatility inside the arc, either as a pull-up shooter or while getting to floaters the guard has plenty of options.     Herrera works to fill holes on either end of the floor, bringing a high motor on the glass and quick instincts to mitigate opponent shot attempts. Prioritizing the dirty work in past events, it is hard to imagine the guard will not get opportunity in the near future.     Holt is a gritty guard who works hard to leverage his physicality for finishes around the paint, comfortable taking contact on his way to the rim. His continued growth as an all-around shotmaker will be worth following, given his comfort handling pressure at the point of attack.     Loya is at his best in transition, comfortable pushing the pace to create outlets for teammates or attempts in the paint for himself. Comfortable reading opposing defenses quickly, the guard works to attack the lane while opponents are out of position.     Langford's physical tools are about as unique as anyone in this class, especially comfortable at the junior varsity level to bump around opposing rebounders for second chance attempts. Given the capable handle at this stage, he is a wrecking ball while attacking the rim, comfortable moving around opposing defenders who attempt to wall off the lane.     Rich was a must know name from previous 15U events, bringing a smooth shooting stroke that made him a steady offensive option from the perimeter. Comfortable spacing the floor from high volume, he is not someone worth leaving open, as one make could quickly become three in a hurry.     Stump's efficient shotmaking have made him a must follow name down in Pueblo, boasting a smooth release and the tools to build upon his success from the start of this season. Already someone who is faceguarded more often than not, Stump has adjusted accordingly to promote a competitive program.     Ulmer has been one of the more productive backcourt names in this class, comfortable knocking down threes or pull-up jumpers in the mid-range. A diverse shotmaker inside the arc, he has taken on his opportunities with Fountain-Fort Carson in stride.
