The third Carolina Premier standout on this list is their top three-point weapon, Lail. Riley has been crucial for his squad all summer long, impressing on multiple occasions with his ability to knock down shots and provide space for the rest of the offense to flow. He went 5-9 from deep range in the matchup with Middlesex Magic, hitting threes off the dribble, the catch, and screens. Lail will always have the spot-up shooting ability as a fallback option, but it will be interesting to see if he can develop any other part of his offensive game to become an all-around threat.

Lail went from being a watchlist guy to cracking into the top 90 of this loaded class with his ability to make shots from the outside and really compete at a high level all over the floor. Lail is comfortable operating on the ball, especially in ball screen situations where he has great feel and makes proper reads at a high rate of frequency. Lail has a quick release off the catch and is capable of making shots on the move or while contested. He also can attack a closeout and make a play at the rim for himself or kick it out to another shooter after recognizing the help collapsing in. Look for Lail to potentially continue rising in this stacked 2028 class in NC.
