2028 Rankings Update: Inside The New Top 5

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Nevada 2028 rankings are looking slightly different, with a new name at the top of the board.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2374347"],"_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-69c4280827d69"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2374347' first='Aaron' last='McMorran II'] has climbed into the #1 spot after his very impressive sophomore campaign with Desert Pines, where he averaged 23.2 PPG. The 6'4 marksman utilizes his IQ, skill, and efficient movement to get to his spots. His patience also allows him to strike at the right time. When he gets an uncontested look, it's going in more times than not, evidenced by his 86 triples (41%). McMorran II got downhill a decent amount this year as well, driving to both his left and right. On the defensive end, he constantly caused problems for the opposition with his wingspan and reaction time, gathering 2.8 SPG. Considering his consistent impact and elite shooting, he's likely to turn some heads with the Utah Prospects this spring and summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2484289"],"_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-69c4280827e22"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2484289' first='Devaughn' last='Dorrough'] had a strong season for the Coronado Cougars, nearly averaging a double-double (10.8 PPG and 8.3 RPG). He was notably dependable during conference play and the playoffs. On offense, Dorrough is a matchup problem and takes full advantage when he wins inside position. He can also tip in misses or extend possessions for his team. On defense, he can guard both forwards and centers thanks to his height, strength, and length. Those attributes are put to use when drivers get into the lane as well, and he had 22 blocks this year. Look for him to be suiting up with Paul George Elite on the AAU circuit, he'll definitely be a prospect to check out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2374248"],"_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-69c4280827eba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2374248' first='Dashaun' last='Harris'] was a major contributor for the Democracy Prep Blue Knights this winter. He was their second-leading scorer with 14.5 PPG and was vital to them winning some close games, including their NIAA 5A quarterfinal against Desert Pines, when he had the game-winning deflection and free throws. He is very tough for any opponent to stay in front of, as he's incredibly twitchy and has the jets to burn even more stout defenders. Harris is also quite the force on defense, using his quickness to cause turnovers on a very frequent basis. Overall, he played great, and it'll be exciting to see what he does with Vegas Elite in the coming months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2468244"],"_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-69c4280827f34"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2468244' first='Jaden' last='Redding'] went out and performed at a high level this season. He has an edge to his game that he brings to the table routinely. As he crashes the glass harder than just about any guard out there, and his second chance points can be real back breakers. Redding also uses his long strides to attack the cup and he knocked down 3's when he had time and room on the perimeter. Defensively, he is a difference maker due to his instincts and agility. Making it hard for opponents to get a truly clean look at the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1965271"],"_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-69c4280827fab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1965271' first='Hudson' last='Dannels'] is still in the #5 slot in the latest 2028 rankings update. He was one of Gorman's premier shooters who got open on the corners and wings often. From there, he didn't waste time and let it go with his textbook form and high release point. Since defenders had to account for him, he certainly opened up driving lanes for his guards. He also leveraged his size to make his matchup uncomfortable on the defensive end, where he came down with boards as well. Dannels will be with Vegas Elite again this summer, and we may see his recruitment pick up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
