Rankings Review: The 2026 Combo Guards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today, we'll continue our rankings coverage with a look at the 2026 <em>combo guards</em>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In all, there were 48 <em>combo guards</em> ranked in this update, including our top ranked prospect at the position - the <em>Newman School's</em> <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2638999' first='Lucas' last='Morillo']</em></strong>. A <em>Top 50</em> prospect in the country, Morillo had a dominant postseason run this winter, continuing to show off a versatile offensive game, high basketball IQ, and the ability to make his teammates better.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below are five <em>combo guards </em>of note from our latest rankings update:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2759593"],"_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-69c2a16d3b8e1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gaymon, a guard out of <em>Putnam Science Academy</em> in Connecticut, checks in at <strong><em>#4</em></strong> among the combo guards and <strong><em>#30</em></strong> overall. One of the region's most consistent scorers, Gaymon showed the ability to go off for huge nights this winter, including posting a 30-point triple double in January. He's an athletic 6'3" that scores off limited dribbles, while also showing the ability to elevate over defenders to get off his jumper. He makes plays for others, particularly in space, and is capable of pulling down double digit rebounds in any given game. Defensively, he's tenacious at the point of attack, playing with a great combination of size, strength, and agility. He has yet to announce his plans for the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2633437"],"_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-69c2a16d3b96e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson, a guard out of the <em>Brunswick School</em> in Connecticut, checks in at <strong><em>#15</em></strong> among the combo guards and <strong><em>#95</em></strong> overall. Johnson is a shifty ball-handler that really knows how to create space with the ball in his hands. He makes good decisions out of ball screens, has the ability to finish with touch in the paint, and is a dynamic athlete that covers ground quickly in transition. Off the ball, he gets into his shot quickly off the catch and does a nice job of making shots from behind the arc. His quickness and length are assets defensively, as he has the agility and mobility to stay in front of any opponent on the perimeter. He remains undecided on a college destination.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1956025"],"_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-69c2a16d3b9d3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Moore, a guard out of the <em>Northfield Mount Hermon School</em> in Massachusetts, checks in at <strong><em>#18</em></strong> among the combo guards and <strong><em>#114</em></strong> overall. At 6'2", Moore has good positional size and a strong frame, allowing him to excel as a downhill driver. He does a nice job of balancing his scoring and playmaking, shows the ability to get to his spots out of ball screens, and can make shots both in the mid-range and from behind the arc. On the other end of the floor, he's tough at the point of attack due to his combination of mobility and strength, while also impressing with his willingness to mix it up as a rebounder. He has yet to announce his future plans.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2875556"],"_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-69c2a16d3ba30"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Diaz, a guard out of <em>Concord Academy</em> in Massachusetts, checks in at <strong><em>#36</em></strong> among the combo guards and <strong><em>#207</em></strong> overall. Diaz had a terrific senior season at <em>Concord</em>, proving to be one of the premier long-range shooters in the region. He has an incredibly quick trigger on his jump start, does a terrific job of moving without the basketball, and even shows shot creation ability with the ball in his hands. He's the type of shooter that, once he sees the ball go in the hoop once, can really heat up in a hurry. He's an intense competitor that uses his quickness to create plays on the defensive end of the floor. He remains undecided on a college destination.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2452018"],"_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-69c2a16d3ba8a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">White, a guard out of the <em>Taft School</em> in Connecticut, checks in at <strong><em>#41</em></strong> among the combo guards and <strong><em>#227</em></strong> overall. He's a crafty paint finisher that also does a nice job of making plays for others with the ball in his hands, particularly out of ball screens. He does a good job of creating within the flow of the offense and shows the ability to move off the ball and consistently make shots from behind the arc in catch and shoot situations. Defensively, he can guard either back-court spot and does a nice job of hitting the floor for loose balls or giving up his body to take charges. He has yet to announce his college decision.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check back in later this week as we continue with our <em>Postional Breakdowns</em> by covering the shooting guards, small forwards, and more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
