2028 Guards to Track for the Future

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Guard class for 2028 impressed me during the Prep Hoops Circuit as each of these players made a significant impact when I watched them play. As I recap the top guards that I watched during the circuit season these players have the potential to expand their games even further as time goes on. It will be interesting to see how these six players develop their own skillsets. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2820623"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-688964909ef9a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2820623' first='Malachi' last='Davis'] is a guard that I saw get his role upgraded as the Prep Hoops Circuit continued this summer. Offensively he was heavily involved being a key contributor on that end of the floor. When seeing him play at the Spurs City Shootout he was a scoring threat excelling going downhill on the majority of his scoring opportunities while being a factor in perimeter scoring. He is the type of player to impact defensively hustling in big moments swinging the momentum of games at times.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">What's Next for Malachi?<br>Malachi will be an upcoming sophomore in high school where he has the chance to carry on his offensive production from the AAU season. I believe Malachi can expand his game even more with continued development, but he has to put in the work to make that happen. I'm looking forward to seeing what his development looks like going forward in his high school career.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2817159"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-688964909eff9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">During my summer watching [player_tooltip player_id='2817159' first='Matthew' last='Cattan'] in the Prep Hoops Circuit, I witnessed his remarkable ability to become an automatic offensive threat whenever he steps onto the court. His offensive skills were evident on three levels, and you could always count on him to score points. The rhythm he displays when he's fully engaged offensively is truly captivating to watch. Defensively, he plays hard on that side of the floor, especially when he's on the ball, preventing opposing players from scoring easily.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">What's Next for Matthew?<br>Matthew will be entering his sophomore year of high school, where I'm certain his skills will significantly improve this fall. His offense alone will pose challenges to opposing defenses. However, to become a formidable force at the guard position, he must continue to expand his game. With further development and growth in his physical frame, I believe Matthew has the potential to play college basketball by the time he graduates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2813633"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-688964909f043"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fin Riddle, the offensive threat for Kingdom Hoops throughout the Spurs City Shootout, was a scoring machine.
