Connors, a 6’2″ guard out of the St. Mark’s School in Massachusetts, makes his first appearance in the 2028 rankings on the Watch List. Connors is a hard-nosed point of attack defender that doubles as a high level lead guard on the other end of the floor. He gets into opponents space and makes them uncomfortable defensively, playing with good lateral mobility and quick hands. On the other end, he does a nice job of making reads in the half-court, finding teammates in positions where they can score, and balancing his own playmaking with his ability to score the basketball.

Connors has been a steady floor general, displaying a high basketball IQ and elite decision-making under pressure. He consistently controls the pace of the game, balancing scoring and facilitating with ease. His ability to break down defenders off the dribble and create opportunities for teammates makes him a valuable asset. Defensively, he applies strong on-ball pressure and uses quick hands to generate turnovers.
