2027 Rankings: The Stock Risers

Her jumper is solid, she scores off the dribble and plays the passing lane. She still has upside, and her "on the court" progression has continued since the first time I saw her going on 5 years ago <strong><em><a href="https://girlzprepreport.com/2020-all-eyez-on-me-2025-2028/">see evaluation here</a></em></strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["839224"],"_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-6764027826a10"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>#23 Up from #35</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Anderson is on my "must-see" list for next week because she brings IT every time I see her, on both ends of the court. I failed to elevate her on the last update, that's on me yet it was a correctable error as she can punish on both ends, and watching her finish with players hanging on her is always a treat, so is the pull-up <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/09/sophomore-all-showcase-team-pghsophomoreidtx/">see evaluation here </a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["654819"],"_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-6764027826a7b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#51 Up from #55</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Burns has been "BURNing up the nets" from deep for quite some time, so adding more to her game has been fun for me. I have noted several times she needed to utilize her size against smaller players off the dribble, she has, as well as around the basket but her court vision across the board looks better and she's handling the ball after rebounding </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["874257"],"_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-6764027826ae4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>#58 Up from #70</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harmon is showing signs of several major jumps that could push her closer to that Top 30 or better but her ability to set the defender up and then blow by them to score, both in the set as well as in the open court is a "problem" from whoever is guarding her. She does a good job distributing, as well as defending but she also creates spacing to get her shot off and knock it down from outside </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
