<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Earlier today we published our <a href="https://prephoops.com/pennsylvania/rankings/2028-rankings/">initial Class of 2028 rankings </a>for Pennsylvania.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a review of prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania included in those ranking who college coaches and scouts need to watch closely this spring. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2450663"],"_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-68128aa745b66"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In 2024-25 Aylmer was freshman starter in the Philadelphia Catholic League who posted a stat line of 8.5 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds per night while shooting 33% from deep. Back in late February Aylmer assembled a double double of 16 points and 10 assists against Overbrook. This speedy and elusive point guard can get into the lane off the dribble where he can score in numerous ways. When his attacks on the rim produce whistles, Aylmer punishes opponents at the free throw line. Aylmer can also get paint touches and then deliver well-timed kick out passes. He is an effective passer in pick-n-roll action too. His live dribble dimes in the open court are extremely impressive. As a bonus to all his off the dribble skills, Aylmer is a highly accurate 3-point shooter.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2784657"],"_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-68128aa745bd4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sloane-Marks is a dynamic athlete with length, speed, and the ability to explode of the floor. During his standout freshman year Sloane-Marks earned a starting spot and averaged 12.8 points per night. He notched five games where he posted 18 or more points and poured in a season high 25 points (4 threes) against Wyomissing. Sloane-Marks does the bulk of his scoring on the interior via dives to the rim and his polished face up game. He can also produce points off one-two dribble attacks on the rim and the offensive glass. But do not sleep on Sloane-Marks jumper which is highly accurate from the baseline to the mid-range out to the arc. On defense, Sloane-Marks is a force on the glass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2494880"],"_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-68128aa745c22"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This past winter Greene registered an impressive freshman season in which he averaged 7.6 points per contest and scored a season high 19 points against Peddie School (NJ). Recently this athletic and quick perimeter prospect has been tearing it up on the spring grassroots circuit for Team Durant. Greene can splash jumpers from all over the floor, but he is an especially lethal from long range (37% on 3PAs). His quick release and ability to hit step backs make him extremely difficult to guard along the arc. Greene can also score off the bounce in transition or on half-court possessions. In both situations, his quick burst, change of direction moves and finishing skills enable to score at the rim. Defensively, Greene is an on-ball menace with active hands that generate steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2693524"],"_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-68128aa745c6e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson is a fast point guard with AND1 mixtape like handles who can get paint touches whenever he wants. Once he is in the lane, Johnson can get to the rim for lay-ins, unleash a tear drop or kiss a runner off the glass. If the help defense cuts off Johnson, he will execute a kick out or slip a pass to the dunker spot. For a 2028 prospect, Johnson is extremely poised and does not allow opponents to speed him up. Johnson has also shown no fear when driving to the rack among older, much larger players. During his standout freshman campaign, Johnson averaged 10 points per night and posted a season high 16 points in a win over John Bartram. At the other end of the court, Johnson is a plus defensive player and is willing to guard for 94-feet.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
