<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our Updated 2029 Rankings have expanded to include 150 players in the sophomore class. Camps, showcases and tournaments during June and July provided plenty of opportunties for our staff to evaluate prospects from around the state. Here is a closer look at a handful of the biggest stock risers in a talented group of future college prospects.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2890849"],"_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-6a7dd9d42ed2f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The talented wing moved into the Top 10 after leading Austin Rivers Southeast Elite to the championship game of the 3SSB 15u circuit in July. Jones has impressive offensive skill to go along with high level size and length. Averaging 13.2 points and 5.3 rebounds per game during July, he proved he can score at all three levels and has a high basketball IQ. He is improving his ability to create offense off the dribble and his ability to be a playmaker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3533327"],"_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-6a7dd9d42ee04"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jones' teammate this summer and now at Oak Hall this upcoming season, Johnson rose 16 spots in our rankings after an outstanding month of July. The sophomore is a scoring wing with size and length. He can make shots from the beyond the arc and is equally adept at scoring off the dribble in the midrange. Johnson is a better than average athlete, has a good feel for the game and has plenty of potential as a wing prospect in the 2029 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3668820"],"_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-6a7dd9d42ee98"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Figueroa also impressed on the adidas circuit with MBJ Elite. Averaging over 16 points per game, the sophomore proved to be a unique ball handling prospect with a combination of shooting, passing and scoring. A native of Puerto Rico, Figueroa has positional size, good command of the basketball and is an elite shot maker from distance. Expect him to be one of the top lead guard prospects in the 2029 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3215854"],"_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-6a7dd9d42ef24"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Slater moved into our Top 30 and is one of the most versatile prospects in the class. The sophomore is a big, strong, athletic wing who can really attack the paint and finish above the rim. He is an improving perimeter shot maker that is evolving into a three level scorer. He also provides value on the defensive end of the floor with his ability to guard multiple positions and control the glass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2194496"],"_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-6a7dd9d42efab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This sophomore finished the summer with OBG Elite at the adidas Finale and showed why he is one of the top perimeter prospects in the class, averaging 17.2 points per game to closeout July. Lee is a high scoring lead guard with strength and quickness. He attacks the paint off the dribble, is an efficient finisher in the paint and is a capable shot maker with range. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
