We recently published of our first draft of the 2029 class rankings, with 60 players ranked across the state. Here's a look at part two of the prospects in the Hampton Roads area in the rankings.   #27) [player_tooltip player_id='3538930' first='Jaden' last='Brownson'] | 6'2” F | Western Branch   Brownson made a huge impact for Western Branch this season, and despite being undersized now he has all the tools that will make him a prospect to watch as he continues to grow over the years. He's very efficient in the paint as he can play through contact and finish around the rim, he boxes out well and attacks the glass on both ends of the floor, he has good feet allowing him to switch defensively, and he plays with a lot of toughness on both ends too.   #32) [player_tooltip player_id='2194720' first='Joseph' last='Youngblood'] | 6'2” SG | Catholic   Youngblood had a huge freshman season at Catholic, putting up big numbers throughout the year including a 30 point game in a win over King's Fork. The 6'2” guard is a talented bucket getter who can work on or off the ball to get open and make shots from all three levels, he's shifty off the bounce with good footwork and does a good job creating space in the midrange, he gets downhill and does a good job playing off two and finishing at the rim, and he is a very good shooter from deep as well.   #43) [player_tooltip player_id='3539424' first='Grayson' last='Paddock'] | 6'0” SG | Norfolk Collegiate   Paddock worked his way into being a reliable threat for Norfolk Collegiate throughout the year, making more and more of an impact as both a scorer and a distributor as well. He moves well off the ball and understands spacing to be able to get open shots on kick-outs, he is a good secondary ball handler who makes the right read and doesn't turn it over often, and he gives good effort on the defensive end as well.   #44) [player_tooltip player_id='3539425' first='DaQuon' last='Davis Jr.'] | 5'10” PG | Peninsula Catholic   Davis Jr. played a big role for PC this year behind the top scoring guard in the 757, and that could be a crucial learning year for him as he looks to take on more of a role as their ball handler and playmaker next year. He has a lightning quick first step and good burst with the ball in his hands, he's a pesky defender who can guard the length of the floor, he sees the floor well and makes good decisions, and he picks his spots and scores it efficiently as well.   #59) [player_tooltip player_id='3539479' first='Chaun' last='Carter'] | 5'11” CG | Portsmouth Christian   Carter is another intriguing guard who was stuck behind some very talented upperclassmen, but he will be on the radar moving forward as he continues to grow and get more reps. The 5'11” guard is a sniper from deep who can move off the ball and set his feet quickly, he attacks closeouts and makes good decisions when he gets in the paint, and he can create with the ball in his hands too.
