<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2027 rankings have been released and I want to look at some of the off the radar shooters, scorers and potential breakout players. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players that are not ranked currently in the top-100. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We finish off with the</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Breakout Players</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3588606' first='Makoi' last='Makoi'] <strong>Canyon View</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He is still to be determined on where he will land but if he can figure it all out, he is set to have a very good year and the potential true #1 breakout player. He is moving more fluidly than a year ago and his coordination is improving. He blocks shots, rim runs and has some post footwork he can use. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2689934' first='Braden' last='Baldwin']<strong> Arcadia</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He is already making strides since the spring and summer and showed out with points, rebounds and his athleticism has kicked into high gear. He is scoring it with threes off the catch. transition buckets in traffic, dunks on the break and can defend a couple of positions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2513390' first='Barron' last='Rygiel'] <strong>Boulder Creek</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A power forward who is just scratching the surface of his potential. He has good size for position, he moves well from end to end and he can rebound and block shots in his area. He will score with threes off the catch and his post footwork is coming around. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2885162' first='Jacob' last='Vasiloff'] <strong>Rancho Solano Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger wing forward is showing signs of potential breaking out. He will score it from inside and out with tough takes inside the paint and solid footwork. He will also shoot it to the three point line off the catch and he will rip thru to score it in the lane. He also rebounds well in his area. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2771102' first='Seth' last='Nyagaka'] <strong>Williams Field </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long and twitchy wing forward could have a possible breakout season. He is an above the rim finisher on the break and he covers a lot of ground on defense to play and defend the 2-5 for the East Valley school. He will rebound out of his area and score with put backs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3416317' first='Bryson' last='Eldridge'] <strong>Valley Christian </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long and taller post player showed some glimpses of his potential last season. He came off the bench, and although he did not play this summer, he should have a chance to get heavy minutes on the varsity and score it inside, rebound the ball, protect the paint and be a rare true big in 3A. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3527079' first='Steven' last='Wambach'] <strong>Buena (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A good sized scoring guard who plays with a motor. He is a two-way player who will rebound and even block shots. He will score it with crafty takes to the basket, threes off the catch or pull and he will get to the basket with a solid handle. He has some toughness and hustles. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
