2028 Rankings: Stock-Riser Guards

These 2028 stock riser guards were among some of the top instant-impact players to come in and contribute as freshmen. Look out for this group this spring and summer as they prep to take another leap forward next season as key players at their high schools.    Christofilis was a force in her first season with Lakeside. She's already a highly skilled guard who can handle the rock, create her own shots, and shows good touch from the midrange and attacking the hoop. She showcased that high potential in their biggest game of the year, the 3A state championship, hitting stop and pop middy's, working through contact to the rim, and taking on a larger role when senior leader, [player_tooltip player_id='591764' first='Willa' last='Chinn'], fouled out of the game. She actually ended that title game as the game's leading scorer and showed the state she will be a name to know for the next three years and help Lakeside remain a 3A contender for the foreseeable future.     Duodu is a strong guard who has the physicality and quick change of direction to help her consistently work to the rim. She has a nice looking stroke but her bread and butter is working to the paint where she shows off good footwork and the ability to take contact to find space in the key. Duodu played a key role at Mount Vernon this year, alongside two other impact freshmen, and led their squad with 11.6 ppg, scoring 10+ points in 14 of their 23 games, and 15+ in five.     Kneisler is a really impressive playmaking guard prospect who plays controlled, can make the quick reads, and shows great touch on her passes from various spots and distances. She has great anticipation of the second defender coming to help on drives, mixes up her pickups, and has the footwork to stay balanced and make those key passes on the go. Her eyes go right up the floor after a change of possession and outlets, and she's constantly looking to make plays for her teammates.     Dykstra is a very impressive freshman guard who has a lot of qualities of a show-runner and two-way guard. She has good speed with the rock, is comfortable pushing the ball up the floor and making those key passes over the defense in transition. She's a solid perimeter defender, already does the little things like boxout, making quick decision with the ball in the half, and making the extra pass. She looked very comfortable fitting in with a talented team this past season and is certainly a guard on the rise in the 2028 class.     Boyer is a sneaky good guard for Sammamish who should step into a much larger role next season with their senior point guard recently graduating. Boyer definitely has the feel and IQ to run the show. She's confident with the rock, makes great reads on when to attack gaps, and can slip by her defender using hesitations and little changes of speed. She's also a guard who can score the rock. She has a nice touch inside and really sees attacking angles well, along with having good strength to work through contact on her way inside. Boyer should continue to rise the ranks and already has a pretty mature approach to the game.
