<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the 2028 rankings fully updated, here are some players on the watch-list who are worth keeping an eye on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1151382"],"_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-68f67562133eb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A rising player in Washington, Penelope has made a significant impact with her outstanding AAU season, showcasing her skills against top-tier competition. As a pure point guard, she demonstrates exceptional ball-handling abilities, controlling the tempo of the game with precision and poise. Her court vision and decision-making set her apart, allowing her to create scoring opportunities for both herself and her teammates. Known for her leadership and competitiveness, she's a dynamic force who consistently elevates the play of those around her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1309320"],"_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-68f675621346f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A standout high-level defensive guard, she competes fiercely on every possession, showcasing relentless effort and intensity. Her quick footwork and strong recovery skills allow her to effectively guard multiple positions. Thriving in transition, she excels at pushing the pace and creating opportunities for her team. Her defensive versatility and energy make her a key contributor on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1151409"],"_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-68f67562134bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bella is a high-level guard who excels on both ends of the floor, showcasing elite offensive and defensive skills. She stepped up in a big way during last year's state tournament, making crucial plays in key moments. Her scoring versatility allows her to be a threat from all three levels, while her ability to play off her teammates enhances the team's offensive flow. Valadez's dynamic presence ensures she will continue to be a major contributor for her team this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1305445"],"_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-68f6756213500"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Standing out on the court with her quickness, Jennalynn is a guard who makes an immediate impact. Her physical style of play allows her to get good looks in the paint while seamlessly involving her teammates. Defensively, her intensity is unmatched, bringing a surge of energy that uplifts her entire team. Whether creating scoring opportunities or locking down opponents, she leaves a strong impression every game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
