2028 Rankings Update: Big Time Combo Guards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's still so early for these 2028 rankings that there is a ton of volatility, even at the top. This class looks to be loaded with talent already and there are still plenty of players out there who haven't even been discovered yet. Here's a breakdown of the top combo guards in our latest update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/position-ranking-table {"name":"acf/position-ranking-table","data":{"class":"2028","_class":"field_65cfb7374abb9","position":"77244","_position":"field_65cfbfcb19ad6","national_rankings":"0","_national_rankings":"field_660c1d73c0e49","state":"97","_state":"field_65cfb88a603fe"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-680a539f3e112"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2529549"],"_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-680a539f3f93d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Baron played a big role for Ballard this season and is likely to be their main playmaker for the next 3 years, depending on what the transfer portal brings. Clay is a high level shooter with deep range on his jumper. He knocked down 43% of his three pointer this past season but took more threes than twos by a 3:1 ratio. Moving forward, Baron will need to get as active attacking the paint as he is at getting loose from behind the three point line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2345102"],"_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-680a539f3fa14"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Burgess posted big scoring numbers this season and got better and better as the season rolled along. A consistent double figure scorer for Russell this past season, Ryder will keep getting better as he gets stronger and more comfortable absorbing contact and finishing around the rim. Look for Burgess to be a top player in the region next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532054"],"_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-680a539f3fa5d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of my favorite sleepers in the class, Marshall is long and athletic and reminds me of former Butler star Dayton Williams at the same age. Jeremiah played a smaller role for Coach Geary this season but could be a breakout star next season. As he adds bulk to his frame, Marshall is going to be a serious problem for 6th region foes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532058"],"_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-680a539f3faa2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As mentioned in the <a href="https://prephoops.com/2025/04/2028-rankings-update-biggest-movers/">biggest movers</a> article, Bowman is a good athlete who should be in the mix to be a role player for Douglass next season. Josh looks like he'll continue growing and could eventually be a bigger guard or even a wing. If he can straighten out his three point shooting, it looks like Bowman will be a potential impact player in Lexington.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2748358"],"_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-680a539f3fae5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Previously discussed as a <a href="https://prephoops.com/2025/04/2028-rankings-update-new-names/">new name</a> in this update, Reddick has a chance to be a really good player for a Lyon County squad that looks to get back to Rupp Arena next season. Jett has shown himself to be a good athlete and has a high ceiling in the long term.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
