<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today, we begin our positional breakdowns for the <em>Class of 2028</em> with a look at the <em>point guards</em> - with 23 prospects at the position appearing in our latest rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At the top of the list is&nbsp;<em>Brewster Academy's</em> <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2349988' first='Michai' last='White']</em></strong>, who checks in at <strong><em>#1</em></strong> in the overall rankings as well. A <em>Top</em> <em>25</em> prospect nationally, White has impressed this spring while playing up at the 17U level with <em>The City Rocks</em> on the EYBL circuit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below are five more <em>point guards</em> to watch from the latest rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2634171"],"_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-69f2b3bd62c6d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rudder, a guard out of the <em>MacDuffie School</em> in Massachusetts, checks in at <strong><em>#5</em></strong> among the <em>point guards</em> and <strong><em>#18</em></strong> overall in this rankings update. The 5'11" guard impresses with his feel and touch as a passer, consistently delivering passes on time and on target. He makes good reads when playing in ball screens, scores with touch over size in the paint, and has improved the consistency of his perimeter jumper. Defensively, he's a solid point of attack defender that has good strength, which allows him to guard up a position and make an impact as a rebounder. Rudder plays his travel ball with <em>BABC</em>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2883061"],"_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-69f2b3bd768ff"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Medina, a guard out of <em>Concord Academy</em> in Massachusetts, checks in at <strong><em>#6</em></strong> among the <em>point guards</em> and <strong><em>#23</em></strong> overall in this rankings update. The 5'11" guard was one of the breakouts of the winter season, showing elite twitch as a handler and the ability to create his own shot at will. He keeps defenders off balance with his dribble, does a nice job of elevating into his jumper to get it off over defenders, and can slide off the ball and operate as a big-time shot maker from behind the arc. He stands out on the defensive end of the floor with his ability to guard at the point of attack and create a high number of turnovers. Medina plays on the travel circuit with the <em>Middlesex Magic</em>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2571881"],"_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-69f2b3bd76bd0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Herren, a guard out of the <em>Wheeler School</em> in Rhode Island, checks in at <strong><em>#9</em></strong> among the <em>point guards</em> and <strong><em>#36</em></strong> overall in this rankings update. The 5'10" guard plays way bigger than his frame would indicate and is ultra-competitive. He's terrific at changing directions with the ball in his hands, plays with great small space quickness, and has nice burst and athletic pop as a finisher around the rim. His ability to see the floor and to create opportunities for himself and others off the bounce is already at a high level. Defensively, he creates steals and deflections at a high level and does a nice job of rebounding in space. Herren will run this spring and summer with <em>BABC</em> and recently announced that he will transfer to <em>Worcester Academy</em> in the fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2568460"],"_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-69f2b64f34aef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">White, a guard out of the <em>Dexter Southfield School</em> in Massachusetts, checks in at <strong><em>#10</em></strong> among the <em>point guards</em> and <strong><em>#40</em></strong> overall in this rankings update. The 5'10" lefty can shoot the cover off the basketball and stands out with a quick and compact release. As a scorer, he does a great job of moving without the basketball, finding open passing windows, and cutting to the rim. He's always under control with the ball in his hands and makes good reads as a decision maker playing out of ball screens. Defensively, he's really quick laterally which allows him to put tremendous pressure on the ball without fouling. White plays his travel ball with the <em>Middlesex Magic</em>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2717050"],"_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","fullHeight":false,"anchor":"acf-block-69f2b3bd775b1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dolan, a guard out of <em>Austin Preparatory School</em> in Massachusetts, checks in at <strong><em>#21</em></strong> among the <em>point guards</em> and <strong><em>#108</em></strong> overall in this rankings update. The 6'0" lefty can really shoot the basketball and already does a nice job of leveraging his shooting to open up driving lanes. He's a good athlete that plays with some wiggle off the bounce and shows creativity as a finisher around the rim. On the other end of the floor, he can really sit in a stance and defend, making him one of the better point of attack defenders in this point guard group. Dolan will plays this spring and summer with the <em>Middlesex Magic</em>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keep an eye out this week as we continue our positional breakdowns with a look at&nbsp;<em>Combo Guards</em>,&nbsp;<em>Shooting Guards</em>, and more!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
