<p>Wade is one of the most intriguing prospects early on in the 2028 class with his combination of size, length, and athleticism. A rim-running shot blocker, he's turning away nearly 2 shots a night as the anchor of the Regals defense. His offensive game is still a work in progress, but he finishes well around the bucket with both hands.</p>

<p>A skilled guard, Christiansen has been one of the most productive freshmen in the state early this season, averaging 16.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.1 steals per game on 44-42-87 shooting splits. He's a tough guard who shoots it well off the dribble and can get to the bucket off the bounce, where he finishes through contact.</p>

<p>Selis leads the Mustangs in scoring at 14.7 points per game and has been the team's top perimeter shooting threat. He's also a talented playmaker who gets his teammates involved well.</p>

<p>The Pirates are going through a youth movement after losing nearly everyone from their 2A runner-up team, and Roberts, a 6-5 big man, is a big part of their future. He's a mobile, athletic forward averaging 8.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game on over 56% shooting.</p>

<p>Another freshman leading their team in scoring, Sir is putting up 13.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game for the Cadets. He shoots it really well from the arc both off the dribble and the catch, knocking down 41.3% of his attempts from distance so far this season.</p>
