Here are the top point guard stock-risers from the 2027 rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2379386"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aac8c267c203"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Baez had the biggest jump of any guard in the class as he moved up 37 spots in the update. The 6'3 guard has a good first step, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and finishes well around the rim. Baez can also score in the mid-range and sets his feet before he shoots. He has the length to defend both backcourt spots and is an underrated passer. Baez is a lanky guard prospect who should impact the game at both ends of the floor throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2203815"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aac8c267c24a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rust moved up 18 spots in the update and has the ability to move up even higher during the winter. The 6'2 guard has a smooth release on his jumper and can shoot either off the catch or bounce. Rust is more than just a shooter as he can also get to the rim and finishes strong around the rim. He moves well without the ball in his hands and works hard on the defensive end. Rust has the ability to score points in bunches, which will help his game throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3600457"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aac8c267c27b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Faynzilbert went up 10 spots in the update as he has the ability to play both spots in the back court. The 5'10 guard has a clean shooting stroke as he wastes little motion and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Faynzilbert can also score in the mid-range and rarely forces shots in the half court. He slides his feet on the defensive end and pushes the pace well in transition. Faynzilbert is a gritty guard prospect who should make plays at both ends of the floor throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2628249"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aac8c267c29d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Spencer moved up eight spots in the update as he has the ability to make plays with the ball in his hands. The 6'0 guard uses his handle to get to his spot on the floor and can finish in a number of ways around the rim. Spencer is more than just a slasher as he has a nice release on his jumper and sets his feet before he shoots. He is an underrated passer and moves well without the ball in his hands. Spencer is a crafty guard prospect who should make plays with the ball in his hands throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3273632"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aac8c267c2bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cisse went up five spots in the update and will look to put his game on display this season. He uses his handle to get to his spot on the floor and finishes well around the rim. Cisse has a good touch in the mid-range and can knock down open jumpers from behind the arc. He can also play off the ball and works hard on the defensive end. Cisse is a tough guard prospect whose ability to score inside and out is something that will help his stock over the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
