Rankings Update: 2028 Point Guards

Rankings coverage continues for the Class of 2028 with our first positional breakdown - a look at the Point Guards!   In all, q8 Point Guards appeared in our rankings update, including our top ranked Point Guard and the #1 overall prospect in New England, Brewster Academy's [player_tooltip player_id='2349988' first='Michai' last='White'].    Below are five Point Guards of note from the latest rankings update.    White, a guard out of Wilbraham & Monson Academy in Massachusetts, checks in at #6 among the point guards and #40 overall. White has adjusted quickly in his jump to Class AA of the NEPSAC, showing terrific poise with the ball in his hands as a decision maker, and maybe even more impressively, the ability to score the basketball at a high level. The compact and sturdy guard does a nice job of directing traffic, handles the ball with calmness against pressure, and has really improved his consistency as a perimeter shooter. Defensively, he has the ability to guard either spot in the back-court and uses his strength to force opponents off their driving lines.     White, a guard out of the Dexter Southfield School in Massachusetts, checks in at #7 among the point guards and #50 overall. White has stepped into a big role this winter for Dexter, showing the ability to operate as a primary decision-maker with the ball in his hands while also continuing to knock down shots at a high rate in catch and shoot situations. The lefty has good burst off the bounce as a driver, plays with more wiggle than you'd assume, and has some real creativity around the basket as a both a scorer and facilitator. Defensively, he can really get into opposing ball-handler and has a knack for creating steals and deflections.     McCrae, a guard out of Milton Academy in Massachusetts, checks in at #9 among the point guards and #69 overall. McCrae has done a nice job of maximizing his production in his minutes this winter, showing particular strength on the defensive end of the floor. He plays bigger than his 5'9" frame, makes life really difficult for opposing ball-handlers, and isn't afraid to mix it up on the glass or the floor for loose balls. Offensively, he makes good reads out of ball screen, has plus floor vision as a passer, and does a nice job of scoring from behind the arc, both off the bounce and in catch and shoot situations.     Olinto, a guard out of Boston Latin Academy in Massachusetts, checks in at #11 among the point guards and #84 overall. Olinto has really taken his game to another level this winter, both with his ability to score the basketball and to create for others. He's terrific in transition, showing the ability to play at different speeds, to find teammates in scoring spots, and to score it at the rim with a lot of creativity. In the half-court, he has real breakdown ability in isolations and does a nice job of playing off of slow steps in the paint. He competes on the defensive end of the floor and does a great job of quickly transitioning to offense off of turnovers.     Jones, a guard out of Catholic Memorial in Massachusetts, checks in at #16 among the point guards and #108 overall. A shifty lead guard, he does a nice job of pushing the pace in transition, keeps his eyes up the floor with the ball in his hands, and delivers passes to teammates in positions where they can score. With a low center of gravity, he's able to quickly change speeds and directions, which he uses to his advantage both offensively as a creator and defensively as a point of attack defender.    Keep an eye out later this week as we continue our Positional Breakdowns for the Class of 2028!
