<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2027 rankings update has brought attention to some of the best shooters in the class, and these five stand out for their ability to stretch the floor and knock down shots with precision. Though they might not always grab the spotlight, their shooting skills have a major impact on their teams. Let's take a closer look at these underrated sharpshooters who are starting to turn heads.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["906891"],"_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-6762634d80394"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Taylor is a long-range sniper who thrives on finding holes in the defense and capitalizing on open looks. Her specialty is knocking down corner threes, where she shoots with consistency and confidence. Taylor's ability to shoot from deep forces defenses to account for her presence on every possession. Her confidence and knack for exploiting defensive lapses make her a game-changing shooter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["767166"],"_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-6762634d803fd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gabrielle has a knack for hitting big shots when her team needs them most. She consistently puts herself in positions to succeed, finding good looks and converting with reliability. Her smooth, repeatable shooting form makes her a constant threat, especially in high-pressure moments. Gabrielle's ability to deliver in clutch situations sets her apart as a dependable scorer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["673669"],"_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-6762634d80442"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cate is one of the deadliest shooters in the class, capable of hitting multiple threes in a row to swing the momentum of a game. She finds her rhythm on the wings and in the corners, where she's most comfortable and efficient. Her ability to knock down shots in key moments puts immense pressure on opposing defenses. Cate's shooting creates instant offense for her team, making her an invaluable weapon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["631348"],"_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-6762634d80480"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As a point guard, Alex's shooting opportunities are limited, but she makes the most of them when they come. She excels in transition, where she can step into threes with confidence, and she's a reliable spot-up shooter when her team needs a bucket. Her ability to manage the game while still being a shooting threat makes her a unique and versatile player. Alex's shooting, though underrated, plays a crucial role in her team's success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["631336"],"_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-6762634d804bd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Annabel is an immediate scoring threat from the moment she steps on the floor, particularly from beyond the arc. She has the ability to string together multiple threes in a row, quickly shifting the tide of a game. Annabel only takes shots she knows she can make, displaying confidence and a high basketball IQ. Her readiness to contribute at a moment's notice makes her one of the most valuable shooters in the class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
