After evaluating spring performances, travel ball production, and long-term upside, several prospects earned their first appearance inside South Carolina's 2028 Top 100. These players have continued to trend in the right direction and made compelling cases to be included among the state's top rising talents. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3627640"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a201758cc641"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The highest-ranked new addition to the Prep Hoops South Carolina Class of 2028 Rankings is [player_tooltip player_id='3627640' first='Ellis' last='Wiggins']. Wiggins was an All-Region performer at Timberland last season, but he's starting to emerge as an impressive prospect with [program_tooltip program_id='2246675' first='Charleston' last='Raptors']. The reason he's so highly-ranked is his potential as a shooter, which he displayed in a 6 made-three game back in early May. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3646178"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a201758cc690"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another wing shooter to know in the Class of 2028 is [player_tooltip player_id='3646178' first='JJ' last='Konzelman']. Konzelman moved to South Carolina from Texas around this time last year, and he's slowly making a name for himself in the Greenville area. He was a key piece for [program_tooltip program_id='2076394' first='Carolina' last='Premier'] Upstate, impressing with his perimeter shooting and interior defense this spring. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3600930"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a201758cc6b6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Keeping it in the Upstate, [player_tooltip player_id='3600930' first='Kamden' last='Jones'] is one of the most fun watches in the area. He had several monster games with [program_tooltip program_id='3597623' first='Carolina' last='Celtics'] this spring, including a 19-point, 8-assist game at the Phenom Queen City Showcase to earn him a spot in the Top 75. He needs to strengthen his frame to make another big jump, but there's no doubting his offensive talent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3635644"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a201758cc6d7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fuller has one of the highest-motors in the Palmetto State. Whether it's on the offensive end setting screens, moving without the ball, and crashing the offensive glass, or the defensive end with multi-positional defending, you will notice Braylon's presence whenever he is on the floor and I'm excited to see him in high-intensity games this winter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3578441"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a201758cc6f6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chase is at the top of a run of bigger forwards and wings in the 80s. Bedenbaugh is definitely strong enough to play the 4 and skilled enough to play the 3, it just depends on the situation for him. Although he can stretch the floor with jumpers, when it's time to win games you will often see Chase using his size to score around the rim and rebound misses. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3597215"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a201758cc725"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The first of two [program_tooltip program_id='2830220' first='Palmetto' last='Pride'] 2028s to be added to the Prep Hoops SC Rankings is Green. Davey had a decent sophomore season at South Florence, tallying 6.0 points per game, 5.9 rebounds per game, and 1.0 blocks per game in 20 appearances.

He is another two-sport athlete - a WR for a very successful football program at Clinton High School.

Whitaker is a versatile piece who helps out around the rim with strong finishing, rebounding, and defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
