2028 Rankings: Top Wings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops Illinois has released our first edition of the 2028 Rankings.&nbsp; It is still EXTREMELY early in the process.&nbsp; Remember this is a prospect ranking.&nbsp; Not necessarily what they are right now, but what we project long term.&nbsp; These are the top 2028 wings that have established themselves early in the process.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2531981"],"_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-67ec51cb14559"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kelly is the top prospect in 2028 class in the debut edition of the rankings.&nbsp; Lefty small forward has more than proven it early in the process.&nbsp; Played up on the 16U UAA level a year ago before even playing a high school game.&nbsp; Then he went out and averaged 19 points and 10 boards a game out of the gate in his first year.&nbsp; Super skilled wing that has a sweet lefty shot from deep.&nbsp; Advanced passing feel on the wing and rebounds at a very high level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2531973"],"_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-67ec51cb145d0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pettigrew started and played a key role for the Raiders as a freshman.&nbsp; The #2 overall prospect in the class is the younger brother of Trey Pettigrew and [player_tooltip player_id='1385301' first='JT' last='Pettigrew'] who both are D1 players.&nbsp; Brady could be the best of them all.&nbsp; He has positional size as a two way wing that impacts on both sides of the ball.&nbsp; Played a complimentary role as a freshman, but the talent is without question there.&nbsp; Passes it well playing off the ball making dishes on the move.&nbsp; Can get to the rack off the bounce and is a sound shot maker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2125627"],"_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-67ec51cb1461c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vahl has been one of the top prospects in this class since they entered high school.&nbsp; At Oswego he has the green light to score as he had the ball in his hands.&nbsp; Feathery jumper that is effortless coming off his hands.&nbsp; He is such a smooth guard that plays with a ton of poise for his age.&nbsp; Projectable frame that can get in the lane being slippery in traffic for floaters.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2194655"],"_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-67ec51cb14665"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Porter has one of the highest ceilings in this class.&nbsp; He is a 6'3” uber athletic wing with a great frame.&nbsp; Explosive driver that can get to the rack for finishes in the paint.&nbsp; Also has a smooth mid-range jump shot pouring them in consistently.&nbsp; Big time athlete with strength that also impacts on the defensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532040"],"_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-67ec51cb146ad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Higgs is a built like a middle linebacker.&nbsp; He is a broad shouldered small forward that brings a ton of physicality to the table on both ends of the floor.&nbsp; Defensively he has all the tools to be a monster wing defender with his strength, athleticism, and quickness.&nbsp; Offensively he flashes as a shooter, but is at his best getting on the glass for second chance points along with slashing.&nbsp; Potential as a passer as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2538631"],"_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-67ec51cb146f3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Smith is a prospect that is primed to blow up this spring now that more people are seeing him as he didn't play much for Lyons.&nbsp; He is a small forward with excellent positional size and athletic pop.&nbsp; The 6'4” wing has a nice frame and long strides.&nbsp; Can push off the defensive glass with crisp handles.&nbsp; Quickness and second jump showing on the offensive glass.&nbsp; Capable three point shooter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2540198"],"_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-67ec51cb14738"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Davis is a 6'2” wing that is an excellent perimeter defender.&nbsp; Really like what he brings on that end with his anticipation creating turnovers and turning them into points.&nbsp; Smooth offensive player that makes it look easy off the bounce and has a clean looking jumper that is clean coming off his hands.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532031"],"_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-67f6d525c8e3c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Big and physical shooting guard that can also play on the ball. Tough at getting downhill with his combination of strength and handles. Capable of playing both on and off the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2542413"],"_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-67ec51cb1477d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Robinson played only limited minutes on a veteran Lincoln Park team as a freshman, but there is still a ton to like here.&nbsp; The 6'3” wing is a projectable prospect with plus athleticism.&nbsp; Crisp ball handler and a jumper that can stretch to three.&nbsp; Like the upside on the defensive end as a perimeter defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2751256"],"_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-67ec51cb147c3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Everything we had heard was the Goewey was a better football prospect than hooper.&nbsp; After a big freshman season at QB that was tracking, but wow was he really good as a basketball player as well.&nbsp; The three sport star is a wing that has good size and athleticism.&nbsp; He impacts the game in so many ways winning off the dribble getting to the cup, moves without the ball, and starred while still playing within the Orphans system.&nbsp; Good rebounder that snatches them in traffic.&nbsp; Capable shooter from three with an overall creative offensive game along with toughness.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
