Six Stock-Risers in Updated 2028 Rankings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This spring and summer provided tons of opportunities to watch SoCal prospects in the class of 2028 in a variety of settings from high school to club to showcase events. With three months of in-depth evaluation settings under out belt, we have rolled out a fresh update on our 2028 rankings. Below we break down the biggest stock-rising guards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2750234"],"_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-6a4fc46239a8c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rolle's breakout sophomore season has carried into the summer entering his junior year with flashes of elite upside coupled with high level production against top-shelf competition. Rolle boasts a long, wiry 6-foot-4 frame with fluid athleticism, smooth feel for the game and a knack for scoring around the rim. His long strides lend to his ability to blow-by defenders with limited bounces while his ability to finish through contact keeps his efficiency high as an at-rim finisher. Rolle jumped from No. 21 to No. 3.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2948286"],"_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-6a4fc46239bdd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sati-Grier is one of the premier passers and playmaking guards in the state and that, combined with his defensive instincts and speed with the ball in his hands, led us to moving him to No. 4 in the region after previously being at No. 22. The 6-foot point guard came off the bench for Sierra Canyon last season and was a crucial change-of-pace guard in that sixth-man role. Sati-Grier's unselfishness and pass-first mentality stand out as his primary offensive tools but he's also a crafty finisher around the rim who can knock down mid-range pull-up jumpers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2948296"],"_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-6a4fc46239d02"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">When we first ranked Brown at No. 35 he was getting his first taste of varsity level basketball after spending his freshman year on Centennial's JV team. Fast-forward a year later and the 6-foot-7 wing is, in our estimation, one of the highest upside prospects on the entire west coast. Brown's improvements happened quickly and in all the right areas of the game to make him a Division 1-caliber recruit, starting with his catch-and-shoot ability out to the three-point line, consistency as a mid-range shooter and confidence as a downhill attacker and finisher.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2948288"],"_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-6a4fc46239e21"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Oware has all the physical and athletic tools you look for in a Division 1 prospect - smooth perimeter movements, explosive vertical athleticism and a long, wiry frame with room to add strength. Skill-wise, the 6-foot-6 wing has added to his game this spring and summer, highlighted by the quick and high elevation he gets on his off-bounce jumper and consistency in catch-and-shoot situations. Oware's progression from JV player to a recruit with multiple Mid Major Division 1 looks is a testament to his development and the reason why he upped his stock from No. 24 into the Top 10.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2750235"],"_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-6a4fc46239f3d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As the old adage goes, big men always take longer to develop and that is looking like the case for Sanders. The 6-foot-10 center has shown steady improvements over the last few months after not seeing much playing time during his sophomore season. Sanders had some impressive moments with Crossroads at Nevada Live, showing improved rim protecting presence in altering, blocking and deterring shots around the rim. The rising junior, who jumped from No. 26 to No. 18 in the rankings, is still a bit raw on the offensive end, but he does have soft touch and sure hands in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2948304"],"_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-6a4fc4623a05b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Patterson has emerged as one of the best downhill attacking scorers in the region, which is a big reason why he jumped from No. 44 to No. 23 in our latest update. The 6-foot point guard is a fearless driver with good open court speed but it's his strength and physicality that allows him to be so good at finishing around the basket. He's not the biggest when it comes to positional size but he attacks defenders bodies and has the uncanny ability to finish off-balance buckets through contact in the paint. Patterson is also one of the most disruptive on-ball defenders in Southern California.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
