2028 Rankings Update: Top Shooting Guards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Sophomore class is super loaded with talent and the early indications are that the group could be the best we have seen in a while. Here's a look at the top shooting guards in our updated 2028 rankings. This does not include any players in the top ten as they have already been written about in the Top Ten article that came out last week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/position-ranking-table {"name":"acf/position-ranking-table","data":{"class":"2028","_class":"field_65cfb7374abb9","position":"77248","_position":"field_65cfbfcb19ad6","national_rankings":"0","_national_rankings":"field_660c1d73c0e49","state":"97","_state":"field_65cfb88a603fe"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68659b093211c"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2454751"],"_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-68659b0934707"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Grayson is a big time scorer who excels as a shooter but continues to improve as a driver while he gets stronger. Burton has been more of a facilitator than a scorer on the 15u EYBL this season with MOKAN and that will only make him better in time. Grayson seems to keep growing and that will ultimately raise his prospect ceiling. Don't be surprised if he ends up with D1 offers by this time next year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2541123"],"_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-68659b0934796"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ryder is another high scoring guard from the 13th region and has a chance to be really good as he keeps developing his overall skill level. Akins is a strong guard already who is capable of bullying opposing defenders on his way to the rim. A pretty good athlete now, Ryder has the tools to become a really good defender down the line as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2450182"],"_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-68659b093480a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tyson has the potential to be a top 5 player in the class. He's grown to a legitimate 6'4 and has started to add bulk to his previously wiry frame. Duke is also consistently dunking through traffic at this point in his career. He needs to become a more consistent three point shooter but Tyson has the measurables to impress college coaches in the not too distant future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532061"],"_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-68659b0934878"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another sophomore who has all kinds of long term potential, Justin has the ability to score or facilitate for others and appears to be only scratching the surface of his abilities. A player who will be much better as a Senior than he is now, Hughes is a player who is likely to continue getting better and should be one of the best Sophomores in the 16th region this upcoming season and a likely scholarship level player, eventually.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2360943"],"_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-68659b09348e7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The best pure shooter of this group, Bryce has a chance to be really good as he starts to add bulk to his frame and get more comfortable absorbing contact on his way to the rim. He's already a good rebounder and has offered some rim protection at the guard spot when I've seen him at the high school level. Taylor County will need to Vernon to be dependable as their top scoring option this year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
