<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The summer AAU season is over as prospects from across the state looked to raise their stocks. The 2028 class had a strong showing during the live period, especially in the front court. Here are the the 2028 Non-Public A front court prospects to track this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2405359"],"_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-687e89526eb0f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Malukila has had a big summer as he has established himself as one of the top front court options in the class. The 6'11 post swats a ton of shots around the rim and skies for rebounds on both ends of the floor. Malukila knows how to get position down low and has a nice touch around the rim. He has a high release on his jumper and his range extends out to the three-point line. Malukila is a talented post prospect who should see an influx of offers over the course of the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2628237"],"_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-687e89526eb80"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cisse joins Malukila in a talented Eagles' front court and should put his game on display this season. The 6'9 post has a solid face-up game as he can put the ball on the floor and his range extends out to the three-point line. Cisse runs the floor hard, setting himself up for easy layups and baskets in transition. He uses his length to influence shots around the rim and skies for rebounds on both ends of the floor. Cisse's ability to impact the game in both ends of the floor should help raise his stock over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2833843"],"_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-687e89526ebcf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wucherpfennig had a big summer as he was able to put his game on display this winter. The 6'7 forward attacks the basket with a purpose as he finishes strong around the rim and can make shots through contact. Wucherpfennig can also get position in the paint and is an underrated passer. He moves well without the ball in his hands and gets deflections on the defensive end. Wucherpfennig can also play on the perimeter and should put that on display throughout the course of the season</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2628239"],"_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-687e89526ec16"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lyu made his impact felt during the summer and should carry it over into the winter. The 6'8 forward can play on the perimeter as he can put the ball on the floor and finishes well around the rim. Lyu also sets his feet before he shoots and moves well without the ball in his hands. He is an underrated rebounder and has the length to make an impact on the defensive end. Lyu has the ability to impact the game at both ends of the floor, which will help his development in a big way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2868335"],"_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-687e89526ec5b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Adeleye has the ability to play either forward position and should put it on display this winter. The 6'4 forward has a solid handle, which he uses to get to his spot on the floor and finishes well around the rim. Adeleye also sets his feet before he shoots and rarely forces shots in the half court. He has the athleticism to impact the game at both ends and is an underrated rebounder. Adeleye is a versatile forward prospect who should put his game on display throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2909264"],"_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-687e89526ec9d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Patrick is primed to make an immediate impact for the Falcons in his debut varsity season with his combination of size, length and talent. The 6'10 forward finishes with authority above the rim and finishes well in the paint. Patrick runs the floor hard, setting himself up for easy baskets in transition. He swats almost everything around the rim and works hard for rebounds on both ends of the floor. Patrick is an athletic forward prospect who should pile up offers over the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

The summer AAU season is over as prospects from across the state looked to raise their stocks. The 2028 class had a strong showing during the live period, especially in the front court. Here are the the 2028 Non-Public A front court prospects to track this winter.
