DJ Byrd appears ready to make an impact in his new threads. He is a slick guard who gets to his jump shot and knows how to weave around defenders on his way to the cup. With that type of scoring prowess, he should be able to make defenses pay throughout the upcoming season. And he could certainly emerge as a stock riser.

DJ Byrd climbs to #63 in the latest 2028 rankings. He put his scoring prowess on display back during the summer league, and it’s evident that he has good instincts on offensive end. He also uses his athleticism to make his presence felt on the defensive end, and he can push the pace if there’s a chance to after a steal or rebound.

2028 guard DJ Byrd was formerly at Canyon Springs. But he is now over at Rancho, where he’ll look to thrive. He gives them another solid scoring option, and I was a fan of how he produced on Sunday for them. Connecting on both jumpers and 3-pointers. It was great to see and I’m sure he’ll build even more chemistry with his new squad this summer.
