<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The state tournaments are looming, which means a new rankings update will be released soon. For the 2026 class, it'll be the last update before a crucial AAU season for them all. Here are some class of 2026 players who could see a jump.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2510524"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67ba33dabf4b2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Trotenya has a highlight tape you will want to keep re-watching. He has huge transition dunks often, not being afraid to meet anyone at the rim. He scores from the wing well, attacking with strength and using his frame to his advantage. He is poised for a huge AAU season this summer and is a key player to watch going into next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2622822"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67ba33dabf50e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Caleb has been a consistent player for this Lakewood team for the past 2 seasons, being a key piece of their offense. Greenland hustles on the defensive end, showing off his grittiness and willing to win. He dives for loose balls, rebounds well for a guard, and knows the game. He can get hot from deep, being able to sink 3-4 in a row if defenders play lazy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2677046"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67ba33dabf55b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Now here is one of the more underrated players in the state. Caleb doesn't get much attention due to playing at a smaller school but he is a big time talent that coaches need to start noticing. Branch is a top deep shooter in the entire state and his numbers back that statement. He averaged 18 points a game, shooting an outstanding 46% from deep. He can get his shot off quickly and is always ready to let it fly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2399259"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67ba33dabf59f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Paulos uses his length and size well on both ends of the court, getting involved in passing lanes on the defensive end and causing deflections that will lead to easy buckets for his team. He has a great shot from deep, always staying ready to shoot the ball. If the defense closes in quickly, he isn't afraid to put the ball on the court and attack the weak spots in the defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
