<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's take a look at some of the breakout 2028 players that have been playing well over the holidays. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2858414' first='Brek' last='Griffin'], Emery</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6'5 wing has been playing some really good basketball. Griffin is a fierce rebounder, and when he can get the ball to fall beyond the arc, he can be a 15 PPG scorer. Griffin could be a sleeper at the club level as well. With the ability to score inside and out, he could be a formidable wing that has the motor to also rebound very well. He has had a great showing during the holidays.uld be a formatable wing that has a motor to also rebound very well. He has had a great showing during the holidays. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Keanue DuBoise, Wendover</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DuBoise is a sharpshooter capable of consistently hitting five three-pointers per game. He maintains his composure even when heavily scouted, demonstrating the ability to find openings and make shots. Although the rest of his game is still developing, he is laying a strong foundation as a perimeter threat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2838991' first='Jack' last='Layton'], Farmington</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2838991' first='Jack' last='Layton'] is currently averaging around 11 points per game, but his holiday performance suggests a potential for growth to a 15 PPG player. His impressive rise and athleticism have been particularly noteworthy. Layton has the potential to become a consistent riser within his class, and his high-level play during the holidays demonstrates his capabilities.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Eli Gilmore, Box Elder</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Class of 2028 prospect has shown some flashes of above-average play. The 6'5" wing has been playing well and has a chance to be a major impact player. He is a player who can rebound and shoot the ball well, and at 6'5" and only a sophomore, Gilmore is a must-watch player who could be a future stock riser.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kai Cuff, Juab</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kai Cuff has showcased his potential with several impressive performances. His ability to hit shots makes him a dangerous scorer, evidenced by multiple games where he has connected on five or more three-pointers. Cuff has also demonstrated the ability to score in the 20-point range this season, highlighting his offensive explosiveness. Being an "off-the-radar" player, Cuff could be a prospect to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Let's take a look at some of the breakout 2028 players that have been playing well over the holidays.
