Updated 2027 Rankings: Top 10 Wings in the 757

We recently updated our 2027 class rankings in Virginia, with it being one of the deepest rankings I have been apart of in my 10 years with the Prep Hoops VA site. We will take a look at some of the top players in each region of the state from a positional standpoint, with a look at the top 10 shooting guards and small forwards in the Hampton Roads area.   #29) [player_tooltip player_id='2470583' first='Trey' last='Barnhart'] | 6'2” SG | Kellam   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/IMG_1877.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/IMG_1877.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-3017464" /></a></figure>   Barnhart had a monster junior season at Kellam and is continuing to play well this summer with [program_tooltip program_id='2226248' first='Boo' last='Williams'] on the EYCL Circuit, and he's emerging as one of the top scorers in Hampton Roads. While he isn't the biggest or most athletic he gets where he needs to off the bounce and does a great job creating space and getting into his shot, he moves well off the ball and knocks it down from deep consistently, and he has a great handle with the ability to change speeds and get in the lane to finish or make plays for others.   #32) [player_tooltip player_id='2470557' first='Dean' last='Williams'] | 6'4” SG | Catholic   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/deanwilliams-27-catholic-va-crop-1498x984-1774632591.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/deanwilliams-27-catholic-va-crop-1498x984-1774632591.png?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-3572091" /></a></figure>   Williams was another one of the top scorers in Hampton Roads last year, as he dominated the competition all season putting up huge numbers and showing impressive versatility in how he does it. At 6'4” with long arms he has good positional size and a great frame, he is an explosive athlete when he gets downhill, he can get to spots and use his size to elevate and hit tough shots int he midrange, and he can knock it down off the catch from deep too.   #41) [player_tooltip player_id='2896969' first='Josiah' last='Law'] | 6'4” SG | Landstown   Law is another impressive prospect in the Beach District, as he is another big and versatile wing who can impact the game in a lot of different ways. At 6'4” he is a fluid athlete who thrives in transition whether he's pushing the rock or running the floor, he can drill shots from deep and get to spots in the midrange, he is a good finisher through traffic, and he can guard multiple positions defensively too.   #46) [player_tooltip player_id='2470603' first='Nathan' last='Lessley'] | 6'6” SF | Cox   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImageMQOwA0.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImageMQOwA0.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2548683" /></a></figure>   Lessley is perhaps the most intriguing long term prospect in the Beach District, as he has a unique skillset for a player his size and it makes him a walking mismatch and Swiss-army knife offensively. He can knock it down from deep at a high clip and with good range, he works well off DHO's and gets downhill where he's an athletic finisher, he has good touch and uses his size to knock down shots with little to no space, and he can attack the offensive glass as well.   #60) [player_tooltip player_id='3035379' first='Trent' last='Smalling'] | 6'4” SG | Woodside   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/Smalling-Trent.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/Smalling-Trent.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-3625085" /></a></figure>   Smalling is part of one of the deepest teams in the 757 in Woodside, and he is a guy who can score the ball in a lot of different ways while producing on both ends of the floor as well. He's a big wing who gets downhill and uses his strength to finish well through contact, he can make shots from all three levels, he can post smaller guards and hit the offensive glass, and he brings good energy and physicality on the defensive end of the floor too.   #69) [player_tooltip player_id='2353664' first='Namarqus' last='Byrd'] | 6'4” SF | Princess Anne   Byrd has been a staple at PA over the past few years, and is one of the more underrated prospects in the Beach District as he has a lot of tools that translate to the next level. He has good positional size and is a good athlete on both ends of the floor, he shoots the ball well from deep with a quick release, he can create shots for himself out of triple threats and off the catch, and he can lock down multiple positions as well.   #80) [player_tooltip player_id='2898054' first='Jayden' last='Detrick'] | 6'3” SG | Woodside   Detrick is another part of a very deep and talented Woodside team, and he's a guy who can play multiple roles but really can fill it up efficiently in a lot of different ways. The 6'3” wing is a talented shot maker who can get to spots off the bounce and rise up in the midrange, he can get downhill and is a good finisher through traffic, he can knock it down from deep, and he's a good rebounder for his position too.   #123) [player_tooltip player_id='2570862' first='Gavin' last='Mallette'] | 6'3” SG | Norfolk Collegiate   Mallette had a good junior season for NoCo and is continuing that this summer, which means he'll have a chance to have a really good senior season too. The 6'3” wing is an absolute sniper from deep with a quick release and good range, he moves well off the ball and sets his feet to make shots on the move, he is a good secondary ball handler and playmaker, and he has shown a lot of improvement over the years.   #139) [player_tooltip player_id='3571365' first='Crystian' last='Tyndall'] | 6'3” SG | Manor   Tyndall is one of the more underrated players in the 757, and he's one of the most complete off guards you will come across as he can do a little bit of everything to help his team win. He is a savvy ball handler and playmaker who can get in the paint and break down the defense, he can drill it from deep when he's working off the ball, he is a three level scorer who is efficient and can fill it up in bunches, and he sets the tone with his defensive energy as well.   #154) [player_tooltip player_id='3651531' first='Jayden' last='McLean'] | 6'4” SF | Warhill   McLean is gearing up to be one of the best players in the Williamsburg area his senior season, and the 6'4” wing is a chock full of potential at the next level as well. He has great positional size and is a natural athlete with good bounce and a strong frame, he plays with a great motor attacking the glass and on the defensive end, and he is very aggressive getting downhill and finishing through contact or getting to the line.
