2027 Rankings Update: CG/SG Depth Chart

<p>Our updated class of 2027 rankings in Southern California featured a good amount of movement, including 43 new additions and a number of prospects who played their way into major stock-rising bumps up the board. In this piece take a closer look at the combo guard and shooting guard depth in the 2027 class with a quick breakdown of the top 10 players at the position.</p>   <p></p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2435359' first='Jeremiah' last='Profit'] | [player_tooltip player_id='2763310' first='Rancho' last='Christian'] | #1 CG/SG / #5 Overall</h4>   <p></p>   <p>Profit has gotten off to a hot start this spring playing with Gamepoint on the 3SSB Circuit. The 6-foot-4 junior is a fiery competitor who consistently plays with a high motor on both ends of the floor. Profit has been efficient offensively in the games we've watched of his and his at-rim and from three-point range scoring tendencies translate well to the next level. His biggest strength is the confidence and aggressiveness in which he attacks the rim in transition but he can also stretch the floor to three off the catch.</p>   <p></p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2435361' first='Tavid' last='Johnson'] | Francis Parker | #2 CG/SG / #6 Overall</h4>   <p></p>   <p>Johnson is one of the smoothest scoring guards in the class and the ease in which he gets his baskets is his most impressive trait. The New Mexico-commit has great positional size, a simple but effective handle and the ability to use footwork and body control to create space from defenders to create shots for himself. Johnson has a strong perimeter jump shooting game complete with pull-up mid-range consistency and the ability to knock down threes off the bounce, as well.</p>   <p></p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2435386' first='Hunter' last='Caplan'] | Crean Lutheran | #3 CG/SG / #10 Overall</h4>   <p></p>   <p>Caplan has long established himself as one of the region's best shooters but the improvements he has made to his off-dribble shot creating and shot-making have elevated his offensive impact. The 6-foot-3 junior has deep range from three - off the catch, off the bounce and off the move - and can use the dribble to attack closeouts and finish around the rim with a floater or crafty finish off the glass.</p>   <p></p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2194692' first='Isaiah' last='Barnes'] | Crespi | #4 CG/SG / #15 Overall</h4>   <p></p>   <p>What we like most about Barnes is his all-around, two-way impact on the game. Offensively, the 6-foot-3 junior is a physical downhill driver and finisher through contact, makes the right reads and passes when finding teammates and showed significant improvements to his three-point shot off the catch. The defensive end is where Barnes shines as his combination of strength and determination to get stops, in addition to his positional rebounding on the defensive glass, makes him a valuable glue-type prospect at the next level.</p>   <p></p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2435370' first='Pierce' last='Thompson'] | Harvard-Westlake | #5 CG/SG / #16 Overall</h4>   <p></p>   <p>We mentioned in an early piece on rankings coverage that Thompson was one of the biggest stock-risers of this update and his solid high school season has carried over to the club circuit with All In Elite UAA. The 6-foot-3 junior brings a high IQ and measured approach to the game complete with good shot selection, heady playmaking ability and a smoothness to his movements that allow him to stay controlled under pressure. Thompson's most college-ready trait is his ability to knock down catch-and-shoot threes.</p>   <p></p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Next Five CG/SGs</h4>   <p></p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2435366' first='Cole' last='Holden'] | Harvard-Westlake | #6 CG/SG / #19 Overall<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2436261' first='Sloane' last='Harris'] | Roosevelt | #7 CG/SG / #22 Overall<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2895483' first='Ean' last='Britt'] | Campbell Hall | #8 CG/SG / #28 Overall<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2194390' first='Carter' last='Barnes'] | Crespi | #9 CG/SG / #30 Overall<br>Zaire Rashaan | Damien | #10 CG/SG / #32 Overall</p>
