2026 Floor Generals: Playmakers Making Noise this Fall

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1660055' first='Drake' last='Sandi'] | G | 2026 | St. Thomas Aquinas | @DJSandi_</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sandi isn't just a passer — he's a conductor. Leading all 2026s in assists last year (7.2 per game, 230 total), he dictates pace with maturity beyond his age. His patience, vision, and control make him the type of guard every coach wants running the offense. Add in improved touch around the rim and a confident midrange game, and his rise is only beginning.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2134674' first='Archie' last='McFadden'] | PG | 2026 | @2Archiemcfadden</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McFadden plays with rhythm and creativity. Averaging 6.9 assists per game, he constantly manipulates defenses with quick bursts and polished counters. He has a knack for creating off ball screens, reading defenders, and finding angles most players don't see. A threat to score or facilitate at any moment, his craft and confidence make him a dangerous lead guard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1660033' first='Mason' last='Fuentes'] | G | 2026 | Riviera Prep | @Masonfuentes77</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fuentes is a pure point guard who thrives on pace and precision. He's deliberate, keeps the game simple, and consistently makes the right read. His ability to penetrate, draw help, and dish without forcing plays stands out. Fuentes brings a winning presence — steady, reliable, and always in control of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2446940' first='Nathaniel' last='Perry'] | G | 2026 | Matanzas | @NatePerry_2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Perry's all-around game continues to trend up, but his playmaking deserves special attention. He averaged 6.3 assists last season while adding scoring punch (20.3 PPG over the summer). Perry combines physicality with IQ, attacking with purpose and setting up teammates in stride. He plays with balance — assertive, but under control — and that maturity gives him an edge.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2884444' first='Toby' last='Lane'] | G | 2026 | Santa Fe | @TobyLane2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lane's progression has been one of Polk County's best stories. Averaging 5.3 assists last season, he's developed into a strong communicator and decision-maker. Lane keeps defenders guessing — capable of scoring off the dribble or dropping pinpoint passes. He brings toughness, vocal leadership, and the type of energy that lifts everyone around him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1539246' first='Ethan' last='Bergantino'] | G | 2026 | Calvary Christian | @ethanbergantino</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At 6-3, Bergantino brings size, athleticism, and aggression to the backcourt. He's a slasher who can finish through traffic, but what separates him is how well he reads help defense and delivers kick-outs on time. Averaging 5.2 assists before his season was cut short, he's a guard who blends power and precision — a tough cover on both ends.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2415600' first='Felix' last='Buroz'] | G | 2026 | North Broward Prep | @Felixburoz</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Buroz has earned respect as a versatile guard who understands timing and spacing. Averaging 4.7 assists, he thrives in transition and finds teammates in stride. His ability to balance scoring with facilitating keeps defenses guessing. Smart, composed, and always locked in.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
