2028 Stock Risers from June.

June provided a valuable stage for members of the Class of 2028 to showcase their growth, and several prospects took full advantage of the opportunity. Whether it was through standout performances at team camps, live-period events, or summer showcases, these young players elevated their stock and proved they are names to know moving forward.    Allen is an explosive athlete who brings a great deal of versatility from the guard position. He is a dangerous scoring threat in transition, consistently creating easy offense by getting out in front of the defense and finishing around the basket, often over or through defenders. His speed, athleticism, and aggressiveness make him a constant threat in the open floor. In the half court, Allen can do a little bit of everything offensively. He is effective at getting downhill and attacking the rim, putting pressure on opposing defenses while creating opportunities for himself and his teammates. He is also more than a serviceable shooter from the perimeter, making defenders respect him beyond the arc. What stands out just as much as his talent is his toughness. Despite battling through injuries this summer, he continued to compete and perform at a high level. As he continues to mature and refine his game, Allen is a prospect that college coaches should keep a close eye on moving forward.     Lynch is the type of frontcourt player every coach wants on the floor because of the physicality, effort, and consistency he brings every possession. He controls the paint with his activity level, constantly carving out space on the glass and making opposing bigs work for every touch. What impressed me most was his ability to impact the game without needing plays called for him, creating offense through hustle, rim runs, and second-chance opportunities. Offensively, Lynch has developed into a much more refined scorer than many realize. He displays soft touch around the basket, understands how to use angles, and has the footwork to score with his back to the rim. Defensively, he anchors the interior with strong positioning and timing, challenging shots while protecting the paint at a high level. As he continues to add skill and expand his offensive package, Lynch has all the tools to become one of the more productive forwards in Georgia's 2028 class.     Ducato is a skilled guard who plays with a level of confidence and poise that stands out immediately. He has a natural ability to create offense both for himself and his teammates, showing great patience with the ball in his hands and an advanced feel for reading defenses. Whether operating in the half court or pushing the pace in transition, he consistently makes smart decisions and puts pressure on opposing defenses. What separates Ducato is his versatility as an offensive player. He can knock down shots from the perimeter, create separation off the bounce, and get into the paint where he does a great job of either finishing or finding open teammates. His vision and passing ability allow him to function as a true lead guard, but he is equally comfortable playing off the ball and hunting scoring opportunities. With his skill set, basketball IQ, and ability to impact the game in multiple ways, Ducato is a prospect with a bright future and one that should continue to attract attention as he develops.     Presley is an effective combo guard who can create offense in a variety of ways off the bounce. After a strong showing at the GBCA Live Period event a few weeks ago, he has continued to build momentum by stacking quality performances throughout the summer. He has natural scoring awareness and does a great job recognizing when defenders give him enough space to get his shot off while also finding ways to get to his spots on the floor. His length is another valuable tool, allowing him to shoot over inferior defenders and finish over bigs. Presley plays with a high motor and brings instant offensive firepower. Whether creating off the bounce, knocking down jumpers, or attacking gaps in the defense, he consistently finds ways impact the game as a scorer.     I am a big fan of Polk's game. He is a savvy lead guard who can impact an offense both with and without the basketball. As a point guard, he is really effective creating opportunities for others, making smart reads, and keeping the offense fluid and organized. His ability to shoot the ball forces defenders to play a few feet off him which opens up passing lanes, allowing him to see the floor more effectively in the half court. Off the ball, Polk's basketball IQ shines. He understands spacing and moves well without the basketball. He is a reliable perimeter threat with the ability to make defenses pay. What stands out most is his balance as a player he can facilitate when needed, score when called upon, and elevate the play of those around him. As he continues to develop physically and add to his offensive package, Polk has all the tools to be a highly productive guard at the next level.     Gayle is a knockdown shooter who can get hot in a hurry and add an instant spark off offense from deep. He has had multiple games this summer where he knocked down multiple. His confidence as a shooter, combined with his quick release, makes him a constant threat whenever he is on the floor. He is more than just a perimeter scorer, showing the ability to finish in transition, run the floor hard and convert opportunities around the rim. He also plays with excellent pace and has a strong feel for the game as a playmaker, knowing when to attack, when to slow things down, and when to dish it out. His combination of shooting, decision-making, and offensive versatility makes him a valuable piece in any backcourt.     Pascal is the type of guard every coach loves to have on the floor because of his tough-nosed energy and versatility that he brings to the game. Despite playing in the backcourt, he does an excellent job holding his own in the post and competing against bigger players. His physicality and willingness to battle makes him a valuable defensive piece who can guard multiple positions. Offensively, Pascal thrives when attacking the basket, showing the ability to finish through traffic and absorb contact around the rim. He plays with a high motor and brings constant energy, serving as a vocal leader who helps keep his teammates engaged throughout the game. He is also capable of knocking down perimeter shots when the ball finds him within the flow of the offense, making him a well-rounded contributor who impacts winning in a variety of ways.     Galloway is a long, athletic wing who impacts the game in a ton of different areas. He is more than capable of operating as a primary ball handler to bring the ball up the floor. His ability to change speeds in transition makes him difficult for defenders to stay in front of, and he consistently creates opportunities for both himself and his teammates. Galloway's length and wingspan are major assets, allowing him to rebound at a high level and make plays defensively that most guards simply cannot. He regularly affects shots around the rim, jumps passing lanes, and creates extra possessions with his activity. Offensively, he has proven he can fill up the stat sheet while also serving as one of the top scoring options on the floor. His perimeter shooting has continued to improve, making him a more complete offensive threat and forcing defenses to respect him from the outside. With his combination of size, versatility, production, and upside, Galloway is a prospect that college coaches should continue to monitor closely.
