Rankings Update: Class of 2027 Sleepers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The rankings update is looming for each class here in the state of Washington. Here are some players who I think are sleepers within the upcoming junior class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2182748' first='Hunter' last='Calloway']</em></strong> - Squalicum HS - Hunter's game took a big step last season on the court for the Storm, being the main offensive option and proving he can handle the work-load. He scores from all 3 levels well, improving how he attacked the ball and showed he can use both hands when finishing. He has been locking up as a defender during the AAU season for Idaho Premier.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2393367' first='Kametrius' last='Babbs']</strong></em> - Rainier Beach HS - One of the most underrated players in the entire state is Babbs. I saw his potential last summer during the Sophomore ID camp in the state of WA and he excelled at Curtis HS last year. He is extremely athletic, being able to jump out of the gym or dunk on anyone if they are under the basket. His mid-range has been improving in a big way too, having a smooth turn around fadeaway and pull up jumper.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Co</em></strong><em><strong>mboni Loku</strong></em> - Yelm HS - Comboni is an up and coming player that coaches need on their radar. He has a unique skillset, having a well rounded offensive game and a tough/gritty defensive mindset on the other side of the court. He hustles hard every possession, going 100% and not being afriad of anyone he goes against, keeping his confidence high on the court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2375339' first='Grant' last='Wardenaar']</em></strong> - Royal HS - Grant is a player who can play both guard positions, being able to control the pace of the game and facilitate the offense smoothly and to a high level. Off-ball, he can move to the open spots and attack the weak spots in what the defense gives him. He attacks the ball with confidence and finishes around the rim with a soft touch. He is going to have a huge season for Royal next year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1685500' first='Karson' last='Maze'] </strong></em>- Mead HS - Maze has a lot of speed with and without the ball in his hands but what is impressive is his ability to have the same speed with the ball in his hands and take care of it well. He is very athletic and can out-rebound almost every guard that he plays against. Maze is a Division 1 or Division 2 player, in my eyes and is only getting better. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
