<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the 2027 rankings now fully updated this week as we head into the summer and the rest of AAU in July. Here are some players who were risers in the latest rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["964916"],"_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-68532f90d4125"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kyla is one of the biggest risers for a great reason, especially after her MVP winning season last year as a sophomore. She has continued to improve her skills on both ends, becoming a player who can defend at multiple positions and make big defensive plays regardless. Offensively, she attacks the ball well and uses her speed and elite footwork to her advantage to get easy buckets. D1 coaches should be all over Frazier as the year continues. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["688516"],"_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-68532f90d41b1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Natalie continues to get better and better on the court. She has been getting smoother on the offensive side of the ball, having great handles and a high IQ with or without the ball in her hands. She sets solid screens, being able to pick or pop off the screen and score at a smooth rate either way. I think she is a Division 1 talent and she will only continue to get better and better. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["931418"],"_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-68532f90d41f9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elianna has been looking ELITE so far this summer for her new school, Newport. She has been scoring the ball at will, being able to get deep in the paint and finish at a high rate. Weiss continues to hit deep shots just like last season as well. Pairing this with with her elite defense will lead to a fantastic season for the junior to be. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1114653"],"_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-68532f90d423b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ileana is one of the biggest risers in the rankings update and rightfully so. She has a smooth offensive game, being able to showcase her ability to score from all 3 levels in a big way. She hits transition threes at a high rate and can knock it down even with a hand in her face. She is fundamentally sound, playing off 2 feet and always making the extra pass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1259629"],"_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-68532f90d427a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rebeca dominated the paint last season for the Mounties in her first season at Mount Baker. She had many games scoring 20+, sometimes even 30+ while being able to rebound the ball 10-15+ times a game. She is strong in the paint, sealing opponents with ease and reading the ball off the rim quickly. She is going to dominate next season once again and be someone to watch for. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
