Rising guards - Class of 2027 and 2028

I llike what each of these players does on the court. Some solid skill sets, elite shooters, and downhill toughness with some flash. Next season could be a big one for each. I expect [player_tooltip player_id='751217' first='Kate' last='Reinkensmeyer'] and [player_tooltip player_id='931418' first='Elianna' last='Weiss'] to climb the rankings as guards who have some serious game.    Really like her game. She plays with a lot of energy on both ends of the ball. She is developing into a good shooter from three but that's not what she does best. It's virtually everything else. She is crafty and quick, sometimes relentless getting to the basket. She displays an array of moves, including step back jumpers extended to three. She has great hands on defense and anticipes well. She can play either guard spot and defend them. She has gotten noticeably better since before her freshman season when I put her on the All - Freshman Showcase team. She was all over the floor in that one as a relentless offensive and defensive player. Player to watch with a high skill level to go with the motor.     Elliana is top 10 (2027) shooter n the state of Washington for her class. She averaged 12 points and was top three in most all statistical categories. She had some big games, including a 21 point - 11 steals - 7 threes made. She made 73 threes at 47% which is almost unheard of, especially from a freshman. She benefits from an unselfish point guard in [player_tooltip player_id='1045880' first='Anna' last='Marsh'], who averaged over seven assists. A quick release, combined with the confidence of an elite shooter, expect the threes to be a consistent source. That is not all she does. She's tough on the downhill and uses a strong dribble and great body control. She can cross it over and hit the quick mid-range jumpers. Excellent court vision. Good player and stock riser.     An incoming freshman, she will play her high school basketball at Tahoma. She is a lights out shooter with deep range. She had a great showing at the EOT Summit Finale in Roseville. Her first four games she had 6, 9, 6, and 7 threes. She scored over 30 twice, including a 36 point performance. She utilizes the triple threat well to keep the defense honest and can pull-up off the dribble from three. Although most of her points came from outside the arc, she showed a high understanding of when to attack the basket. She is a pure shooter that will only get better over the next four years. She has already taken unofficial visits to Iowa, Wichita State, and Sac State. She has also received invites to some prestigious camps. An elite shooter, considering she not yet played in high school. She continues to develop her overall scoring, leaving one to believe big things are on the way.     Woodinville lost a lot of production to graduation after last year's season. Bieler is one who will step into a bigger role. Possibly the starting point guard, she has talent to take care of the ball, knock down buckets from deep, and create with confidence. She's a good shooter, could turn out even better. Her ball skills are on point. She has good quickness, and those 27 threes she made last season are about to get bumped up. She was able to provide 4ppg last season despite the senior laden team. She has no fear from three, part of the process of becoming a great shooter.

I expect Kate Reinkensmeyer Kate Reinkensmeyer 5'7" | PG Skyline | 2027 State WA and Elianna Weiss Elianna Weiss 5'7" | PG Newport | 2027 State WA to climb the rankings as guards who have some serious game.
