<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 small forward 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='2436297' first='Davey' last='Harris'] | Windward | #1 SF / #3 Overall</h4>   <p></p>   <p>Harris has one of the most impressive combinations of positional size, skill and athleticism which earned him a bump into the top three prospects in Southern California. The 6-foot-7 wing has elite vertical athleticism and body control which leads to efficient scoring around the rim and he can step out to the perimeter for off-catch and off-dribble jumpers to stretch the floor. Harris is also a very good lane filler, slasher and finisher in transition offense.</p>   <p></p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2194355' first='Gene' last='Roebuck'] | La Mirada | #2 SF / #4 Overall</h4>   <p></p>   <p>Roebuck is a premier wing scorer in the state and has been since he played his first high school game. The 6-foot-5 junior brings a versatile offensive skill-set to the floor with his ability to create shots off the bounce on the perimeter, hit tough jumpers in the mid-range area of the floor and take advantage of mismatches in the post with his footwork and touch around the basket. Roebuck's offensive package will translate well to the next level.</p>   <p></p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2915701' first='OJ' last='Popoola'] | Palisades | #3 SF / #7 Overall</h4>   <p></p>   <p>Popoola brings a dynamic combination of size, length and fluid and explosive athleticism to both ends of the floor. The wiry-strong 6-foot-5 wing is a downhill attacking threat in transition and half-court offense and is always looking to finish above the rim in the painted area. Popoola, a lefty, is the type of athlete who can elevate explosively in traffic and his body control allows him to absorb and finish through contact.</p>   <p></p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2916690' first='Damarion' last='Landry'] | Oak Hills | #4 SF / #14 Overall</h4>   <p></p>   <p>Landry is a naturally gifted athlete and fast-improving basketball player who has all the physical and athletic tools to play at a high level. The 6-foot-7 wing is an explosive vertical athlete, uses his length and strides to cover ground in transition and has the ball skills and feel to create for himself in isolation. Landry is a threat to put defenders on a poster around the rim and has elite shot blocking and rim protecting instincts. It will be interesting to see who can tap in to his full potential.</p>   <p></p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1945830' first='EJ' last='Popoola'] | Palisades | #5 SF / #18 Overall</h4>   <p></p>   <p>The other half of the Popoola twins, EJ is a smooth-shooting wing off the catch and off the bounce from mid-range and three-point levels of the floor. Like his brother, EJ, also 6-feet-5, has a strong, wiry, long frame and is a good vertical athlete who is a lob target and finisher in transition and half-court situations.</p>   <p></p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Next Five SFs</h4>   <p></p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2436266' first='Chris' last='Sanders'] | Redondo Union | #6 SF / #21 Overall<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2815160' first='David' last='Conerly'] | Inglewood | #7 SF / #26 Overall<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2375392' first='Kaiden' last='Wilson'] | Redondo Union | #8 SF / #34 Overall<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2436271' first='Terron' last='Williams'] | Bishop Montgomery | #9 SF / #47 Overall<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2916692' first='Josh' last='Ayaji'] | Riverside King | #10 SF / #51 Overall</p>
