<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Scoring translates and for these 2026 unsigned seniors, it's the part of their game that continues to demand attention. Whether they're creating off the bounce, lighting it up from three-point range, or finding points within the flow of the offense, this group has proven they can put the ball in the basket consistently and efficiently. From confident shot-makers to versatile creators, their ability to generate offense makes them must-see names as the recruiting window stays open. Here's a breakdown of the unsigned 2026 scorers and shot-makers college programs need to know.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1583466"],"_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-687c07b0545d2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Natural scorer with a poised and deliberate shot creation package. Germany played with patience and rhythm off the dribble, using change-of-pace hesitations, escape dribbles, and retreat combos to manipulate space for both three-point attempts and driving lanes. He also proved to be highly effective in off-ball scenarios, particularly in catch-and-shoot situations where his quick high release allowed him to rise and fire over closeouts with ease. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2418307"],"_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-687c07b05463b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Highly skilled wing with a refined shooting arsenal and polished footwork. Douglas displayed advanced mid-post mechanics, including reverse pivots, jab series, and turnarounds, making him a tough cover in one-on-one situations. Off the bounce, Douglas stays poised and deceptive, utilizing change of speed and direction to create separation. His tight handle and controlled pace allows him to consistently keep defenders off balance and operating at his own tempo.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2557163"],"_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-687c07b05468d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sharpshooting specialist who made his presence felt by beating defenses down the floor and spotting up with urgency. Syers capitalizes on defensive lapses, sprinting to the corners in transition and letting it fly with confidence. Syers shows the ability to deliver clutch perimeter shots in key moments, proving to be a momentum-shifter capable of swinging the game with a single possession.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1590877"],"_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-687c07b0546dc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Downhill threat with relentless force, guarding him seems like trying to stop a bowling ball in motion. Sneed's first step is explosive and calculated, often using it to bait his defender into overcommitting before finishing strong in traffic. He shows exceptional footwork and stride timing, making his two steps count with purpose and control, whether in isolation or off a live dribble in the half court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2231924"],"_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-687c07b054728"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Crafty left-handed scorer with soft touch finishes around the basket, particularly when attacking through the middle of the floor. Jones excels in space, using his open-court speed to generate transition opportunities and leak-out buckets. Whether it's off a defensive rebound or a forced turnover, he's typically the first down the floor, putting pressure on retreating defenses and capitalizing with aggressive takes and smooth lay-ins.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2907776"],"_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-687c07b054776"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dynamic floor-spacer and knockdown shooter who consistently lights it up from deep. Gooden Jr. thrives as a spot-up threat in half-court sets, relocating off ball reversals and kick-outs to create wide-open looks. His shot preparation is consistent, feet set, hands ready, smooth one-motion release, making him a reliable weapon from multiple areas beyond the arc.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
