Here are the top shooting guards in the 2028 rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/position-ranking-table {"name":"acf/position-ranking-table","data":{"class":"2028","_class":"field_65cfb7374abb9","position":"77248","_position":"field_65cfbfcb19ad6","national_rankings":"0","_national_rankings":"field_660c1d73c0e49","state":"75759","_state":"field_65cfb88a603fe"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67f6740c382e1"} /--> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2194738' first='Ian' last='Archbold'], 6'4 Blair Academy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Archbold is the top shooting guard in the update and has one of the highest ceilings in the class. The 6'4 guard has a good first step, which he uses to blow by his defender and finishes strong around the rim. Archbold can also score in the mid-range and uses his size to see over his defender. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and is an underrated passer. Archbold recently took part in a Team USA minicamp, which will help his stock throughout the spring and summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2202021' first='Aidan' last='Carter'], 6'3 St. Thomas Aquinas</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carter is moving into the 2028 class and is one of the most intriguing prospects in the class. The 6'3 guard has a good handle, which he uses to get to his spot on the floor and knows how to finish around the basket. Carter rarely gets sped up by on-ball pressure and can knock down open jumpers from behind the arc. He moves well without the ball in his hands and is an underrated defender. Carter's ability to play on and off the ball is something that will help his development over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2194744' first='AJ' last='Greig'], 6'4 Ramapo</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Greig has the ability to play either spot on the perimeter, making him a prospect to track in the class. The 6'4 wing wastes little motion in his release and shoots the ball with confidence on the perimeter. Greig is more than just a shooter as he can also get to the rim off the bounce and can finish through contact. He is an underrated rebounder and has the length to cause disruptions on the defensive end. Greig had three 20-point games during Ramapo's state tournament run and will be looking to carry over that scoring production in the AAU season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2683648' first='Jayce' last='Rodriguez'], 6'1 Colonia</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rodriguez is one of the top shooters in the 2028 class as he helped the Patriots repeat as sectional champions. The 6'1 guard has a smooth release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Rodriguez moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open jumpers and layups in the halfcourt. He slides his feet on the defensive end and is an underrated passer. Rodriguez is a sharpshooting guard prospect who should torch the nets from distance over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2683649' first='Michael' last='Simborski'], 6'2 Montgomery</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Simborski made an immediate impact for the Cougars as he started for them during their run to the Group 4 final. The 6'2 guard attacks the basket with a purpose as he finishes strong around the basket and is unafraid of drawing contact. Simborski has a nice shooting stroke and sets his feet before he shoots. He rarely forces jumpers in the halfcourt and moves well within the flow of the offense. Simborski is a tough guard prospect who should showcase his versatility during the AAU season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other Prospects to Watch:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2763585' first='Dontae' last='Day-Thompson'], Atlantic City</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2504893' first='Branden' last='Martucci'], 6'0 Don Bosco Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2620261' first='Nick' last='Pless'], 5'9 Allentown</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2763631' first='Oymere' last='Rene'], 6'1 St. Rose</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2784326' first='Brady' last='Gillen'], 6'0 Toms River East</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
