<p>The 2028 rankings update came out on Tuesday with a little over 225 prospects taking part. Prospects move up and down the rankings in every update, and this one is no different. Here are the top stock-risers in the 2028 rankings update.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2983866' first='Joshua' last='Mackintosh'], 6'8 PF/C Camden Catholic</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Mackintosh went up 46 spots in the update, moving up higher than any other prospect in the update. The 6'8 forward runs the floor hard, creating easy baskets for himself in transition. Mackintosh knows how to get position down low and has a soft touch around the basket. He works hard for rebounds on both ends of the floor and holds his ground on the defensive end. Mackintosh is a physical post prospect who should continue to make plays in the post over the next couple of months.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2966035' first='Kaden' last='Aiken'], 6'6 SF/PF Seton Hall Prep</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Aiken moved up 28 spots in the update as he showed the ability to make plays on both ends of the floor. The 6'6 forward has a nice face-up game as he can get to the rim off the bounce and his range extends out to the three-point line. Aiken can also finish around the rim and moves well without the ball in his hands. He fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor and has the length to defend multiple spots on the perimeter. Aiken is a lanky forward prospect who should continue to impact the game at both ends of the floor over the course of the summer.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2763622' first='Bilal' last='Robinson'], 6'7 PF/SF Overbrook</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Robinson jumped up 14 spots in the update as he showed his versatility this spring. The 6'7 forward used his handle to get to the rim off the bounce and finished well above the rim. Robinson is more than just a slasher as he has a high release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. He is an underrated rebounder and uses his athleticism to make plays on the defensive end. Robinson picked up a D1 offer from La Salle and should expand his offer sheet over the next couple of weeks.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2683638' first='RJ' last='Wicks'], 6'6 SF Union Catholic</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Wicks moved up 12 spots in the update and has the potential to move up even more this summer. The 6'6 wing has a good first step, which he uses to get to into the paint and finishes well above the rim. Wicks is more than just a slasher as he has a good release on his jumper and sets his feet before he shoots. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and elevates for rebounds on both ends. Wicks picked up an offer from Wagner and will be looking to expand his offer sheet over the next couple of months.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3421069' first='Rashad' last='Donaldson'], 6'2 SG Camden Catholic</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Donaldson went up nine spots in the update as he showed his ability to make plays on and off the ball. The 6'2 guard has a smooth shooting stroke as he wastes little motion and can knock down triples in bunches. Donaldson can also get to the rim off the bounce and finishes nicely around the rim. He is an underrated passer and gets deflections on the defensive end. Donaldson's ability to stretch the floor is something that will help his stock in a big way over the course of the summer.</p>
