<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">As the newly released 2029 rankings continue to generate buzz, we take a deeper look at the players ranked #6–#10. These five rising stars are already turning heads and are names you will want to keep on your radar as they continue their development…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Whitley Marie Booker</strong> (6'2/C/2029/Albertville HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: whitbooker300</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @WhitleyBooker29</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Whitley is a true interior presence with a developing all-around game. She dominates in the paint with her size, soft hands, and finishing touch around the rim. She protects the basket defensively and alters shots with her length. What makes her even more intriguing is her ability to stretch the floor as she can step out and knock down the three when needed. Her motor, mobility, and shooting upside give her long-term impact potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1232136' first='Ava' last='Leonard']</strong> (5'3/CG/2029/Hoover HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Iamavaleonard</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Avaleo2029</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ava is a dynamic guard who can handle the rock and has exceptional poise for her age. She is a creative playmaker who reads the floor well and creates for both herself and her teammates. She is a knockdown three-point shooter and keeps defenders honest while also using her craft to break them down off the bounce. Ava brings a strong blend of IQ, toughness, and leadership that sets her apart in the backcourt.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>London Cook</strong> (5'10/SF/2029/Hoover)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">London is a strong, athletic, and versatile wing who brings a physical edge to the floor. She plays with power, gets downhill with force, and defends multiple positions. Her ability to rebound, guard on the perimeter, and attack the rim makes her a valuable two-way asset. As her skill set continues to expand, expect her to become one of the most well-rounded forwards in her class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1186360' first='Eleanor' last='Shea']</strong> (5'7/PG/2029/Huntsville HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: eleanor.shea29</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @eleanorshea2029</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Eleanor is a skilled and composed guard with a growing basketball IQ. She has a natural feel for initiating the offense and shows creativity as a scorer and facilitator. Whether it is creating off the bounce or finding open teammates, Eleanor brings a steady presence to the floor. Her ability to control pace and make smart decisions will continue to shine as her role increases.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1207449' first='Naomi' last='Wise']</strong> (6'2/SG/2029/Fort Payne)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Naomi is a long, athletic guard with a high ceiling. She is a true mismatch creator, as she is tall enough to shoot over smaller defenders and agile enough to beat bigger ones off the bounce. Naomi is a multi-level scorer who attacks downhill, finishes through contact, and pushes the pace in transition. With her length, she also has defensive upside and the versatility to guard across positions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
