<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2029 rankings update came out onTuesday with a little over 150 prospects in the rankings. Prospects move up and down the rankings in every update and this one is no different. Here are the top guard stock-risers from the 2029 rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2884517"],"_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-6abd36699786f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Baldwin is one of the top guard prospects in the class and should put it on display this season. The 5'10 guard has a tight handle, which he uses to get into the paint and is a crafty finisher around the rim. Baldwin can also score in the mid-range and rarely forces shots in the mid-range. He threads passes to his teammates into the half court and slides his feet on the defensive end. Baldwin is a talented guard prospect who has the potential to make an All-State team as he'll have the ball in his hands more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2884521"],"_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-6abd366997978"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McCray has had a big summer and is looking to carry his form over into the winter. The 5'8 guard has a smooth release on his jumper and has the ability to shoot either off the catch or bounce. McCray has a good touch in the mid-range and knows how to finish around the rim. He can also play off the ball and slides his feet on the defensive end. McCray recently picked up an offer from Manhattan and is looking to build his offer sheet up during 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":["3515524"],"_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-6abd3669979d9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Davis is the top-ranked shooting guard in the update and will look to put that on display this season. The 6'2 guard has a good shooting stroke and sets his feet before he shoots. Davis is more than just a shooter as he can also get to the rim off the bounce and finishes strong around the rim. He is an underrated passer and has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor. Davis has the ability to put up points in bunches, which will help his stock 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":["3421041"],"_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-6abd3cfef11f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lacey is the top 2029 prospect in South Jersey and should put it on display throughout the season. The 5'11 guard has a clean release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Lacey is more than just a shooter as he can also get to the rim off the bounce and is a good finisher around the rim. He moves well without the ball in his hands. Lacey had four 20-point games during his freshman season and should eclipse that number during the 2026-27 season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2520835"],"_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-6abd3cfef125a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gallo has the ability to play either spot on the wing, making him an intriguing prospect to watch in the class. The 6'4 guard uses his size to see over his defender and has a high release on his jumper. Gallo moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open layups and jumpers in the half court. He uses his length to make an impact on the defensive end and is an underrated rebounder. Gallo is a lanky wing prospect who should put up big numbers throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

The 2029 rankings update came out onTuesday with a little over 150 prospects in the rankings. Prospects move up and down the rankings in every update and this one is no different. Here are the top guard stock-risers from the 2029 rankings update.
