'27 Rankings Update: New Additions

One of the more efficient young bigs I've seen out of PG County. I first caught Brandon over the summer producing for Flowers during CBG. He has continued to be a major factor in the Jaguars big start to the season. Averaging 10 points along with 5 rebounds/assists per night. Brandon showed he is a solid decision maker and ball handler as a big wing option. But he can slash to the basket and finish very strong using his combination size and strength. Brandon is an intriguing prospect to keep an eye on as his high school journey is still just at the start.     Gabriel impressed as a solid all-around combo guard for Roosevelt each time I saw him. Pretty efficient with his touches on the ball, makes good reads and takes his open shots with confidence. Gabe can shoot the lights out when he gets into rhythm, forces many defenses to make adjustments. Never rushes with the ball or his dribble, can handle ball pressure and get to his desired spot on the court. Gabe defends well and does not give anything easy to his matchup whether in zone or man. Important piece to Roosevelt's success so far this year.     Hard-nosed guard that can do what's asked of him game in and game out. Defends extremely well and helps the team on the glass when necessary. Harris collects steals on and off the ball that ignite the fast break and the team alike. Knocks down the open 3-pt shot with consistency when his shot opportunity opens up. Justin can put the ball on the deck and step in for the midrange or float shot occasionally. Strong at the basket, likely to draw a foul or two when aggressive.     Cole is a real workhorse for his young Maret squad. Always on the offensive glass creating second opportunities for Maret even being an undersized forward. Cole picks his opportunities to attack the basket well over the course of the game. Has good speed control at his size and can burst by the defender and finish strong at the rim. Will have to improve his touch near the rim and outside the perimeter, but he is capable of scoring in double figures consistently while securing a high volume of rebounds. His activity extends to the defensive end as well, can be a factor both inside and outside of the paint. His size and footwork gives him the versatility to guard positions 1-4 effectively.     Gabe had a big summer with Team Impact and rolled into the season with some serious momentum. Already has a few double-figure scoring nights under his belt this season for Kennedy as the team is impressing out in Montgomery County. Young stable guard that can put points up in a hurry. He has flashed his all-around ability by adding in some nice assist and rebound games this year as well. Really like what I've seen from Colston so far in his young career and will be watching to see how he progresses as his role increases.     Chance has a knack for scoring and can pick up his rhythm at any point in the game. He's got a smooth jumpshot that he elevates on and gets up quickly. Chance has enough handle to work past the defense and get a decent look at the basket. I like the way Chance moves without the ball in his hands. He uses screens well to set himself up for catch-and-shoot jumpers in the midrange and beyond. Hegedus does a good job of not allowing the defender to relax whiled matched up with him. Could become a real threat outside the conference with steady and proper progression.
