2029 Rankings: Elite Playmakers

We recently dropped the 2029 rankings and to wrap up the content surrounding the release of those rankings, we're going to take a focus on some of the top playmakers. There are many top playmakers in this class that deserve some shine so without further delay let's take a look at this group!    Davis is proving to be one of the many high level playmaking guards in this 2029 class here in North Carolina. His ability to operate in ball screens has shined with both Lake Norman Charter and [program_tooltip program_id='2227286' first='Team' last='Loaded South'] 15u 3SSB. Davis blend of shot making and vision allow him to really engineer a lot of offense for whatever team he's suiting up for. Through two sessions at Adidas 3SSB, Davis is averaging 13.3 Points, 2.6 Rebounds, and 2.4 Assists per game on 45/39/77 shooting splits. He's a premier guard in this class and should continue to gain more attention as he stacks these performances up in big settings.     Chaney is coming off of a really special freshman season at Charlotte Latin where he put up monster numbers on a team that enjoyed a lot of success. He's also been able to follow that up with some real production for [program_tooltip program_id='2220892' first='Team' last='United'] 15u EYBL during the travel ball season. Chaney's ability to make outside shots along with having a supreme feel for the game allows him to operate within a team's offense at a high level. As he continues to add strength and athleticism as his body develops, he'll only become more efficient as his experience continues to build. Chaney is without a doubt one of the premier point guards in this class with a lot of skills that translate to the next level.     Oriol is one of the more under appreciated players in this 2029 class with his work as an off the bench spark for Willow Springs last season along with his ability to help lead this Apex Spurs team with his scoring and playmaking. He's got a ridiculously quick first step while being a guy that consistently makes the right play with the ball in his hands, leading to a lot of high quality shot generation. Oriol also has some pop in his game, he'll certainly create some high level highlight moments above the rim over the course of his high school career. He's truly a playmaking guard to monitor in this class that has a chance to be a slow riser as he continues to get more high level experience.     There aren't many guys that can take command of a team in this class quite like [player_tooltip player_id='3653285' first='Carter' last='Motley'] and we saw that first hand on the UAA Circuit in Hamilton with A Wigg Elite 15u UAA. Motley possesses the ability to take over a game with his scoring while acting as a director for his team. He's constantly using his voice at both ends of the floor and operates with a high level of toughness. He always stayed ready when his number was called at Greensboro Day and should see a real bump in role ahead of his sophomore season amongst that stacked roster. There's no doubt he's a top guy to watch in this 2029 class from a backcourt perspective.     Keilman is a guy that is really being rewarded for his production early on in this rankings process as he's been one of the most consistent producers in standardized competition with TLBA 15u UA Rise. His ability to overcome his lack of size and make plays in multiple areas on the floor proves his value along with his level of toughness with this group. He can make shots from deep, push the pace on the break, or slow it down and run offense with efficiency. It'll be interesting to see how he stacks up as he and his peers in this class develop over the years but there aren't many guys in North Carolina's 2029 group that are as productive as he's been this early.
