2027 Rankings: Players elevating their games

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2027 rankings have been updated fully now that the AAU season is getting underway. Here are some players who in my eyes have been elevating their games and are set up for big seasons next year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2116694"],"_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-680566648610b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Trey is a pure point guard who really took a big step last season and is poised for an even bigger season next year. Collier is playing with [program_tooltip program_id='2451463' first='NW' last='Drip'] this AAU season and is playing up at the 17u level. This will help elevate his game in a big way, playing against high competition all summer long. He handles the ball at an elite level, being able to handle 1 on 1 pressure and escape traps. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2457277"],"_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-68056664861b0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kaden's defensive presence was huge all season long for the Lyncs, being able to stay focused during the entire possession and collect multiple blocks in the paint. Offensively, he is strong while getting to the rack and when sealing down low. He is most effective when roaming around the high post and working from there. His jump shot is starting to become more consistent and after it stays consistent, he could win the NWC MVP next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140817"],"_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-6805666486240"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gabe is a lengthy guard/wing who can really score the ball in multiple ways. He can let it fly from deep and has a high release point on his shot, making him difficult to guard. He can create off the dribble smoothly too, not being afraid to break down his defender to get his shot off or find an open teammate. He's one of the better deep shooters in the entire 2027 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140814"],"_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-68056664862c7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Emerson is a real force down low and is emerging as one of the best big men in the 2027 class. He has great footwork down-low, being able to seal defenders and get open smoothly. He plays with energy and it feeds off to his teammates. He rebounds really well, being able to use his strength deep in the paint to out-body defenders and grab the board.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
