<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This article highlights a group of prospects in the 2028 rankings update who have significantly increased their stock through recent performances, development, and overall impact. Whether through expanded roles, improved skill sets, or consistency against high-level competition, these players have shown clear growth that demanded movement up the rankings. Each of these risers has separated themselves by translating potential into production, solidifying their place among the Top 30 movers in this update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["708143"],"_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-6983a8889360d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kendall has moved into the the Top 5 in Florida's 2028 class. KP is one of the top shooters and scorers in the state regardless of class, consistently producing at an elite level. Her all-around impact allows her to be among the most statistically productive players not just in the state, but nationally. Long and tall at the shooting guard position, she pairs great form with a quick, repeatable release that makes her tough to contest. Tight coverage on the perimeter opens up other areas of her game as she handles the ball well and makes the right pass when defenses overplay her shot. Continued growth as a downhill attacker and pull-up shooter has added another layer to her scoring package and raised her overall ceiling even more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1244084"],"_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-6983a8889366b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Essence makes a nice jump into the Top 15 in the newest update and is typically the best player on the floor in most of her games. A strong leader and constant communicator, she handles the ball with confidence and passes it at a high level. Her feel for the game stands out through her ability to see the floor, knock down the pull-up jumper, and read opponents by jumping passing lanes. She impacts the game on both ends and fills the stat sheet consistently. Currently, she is averaging 18.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 4.4 steals per game against a solid stregnth of schedule, numbers that reflect both her production and overall influence.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1213565"],"_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-6983a888936b2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sakura continues to separate herself as one of the most impactful players in the state, producing at a high level against a demanding schedule. She is currently averaging 24 points, 10 rebounds, 5.7 steals, and 3.8 assists per game, numbers that reflect her all-around influence. Serving as both a guard and the primary scoring option for South Dade, she shows a high-level ability to create shots off the bounce with excellent balance and control. Her composure stands out, as she dictates tempo, remains calm under pressure, and never appears rushed despite being the focal point of opposing defenses. With a strong frame, she can score from the perimeter or power her way to the rim, and her defensive impact is evident through well-timed blocks and rim protection that reinforce her value as a true two-way player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1223178"],"_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-6983a888936f1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aubrey jumps into the Top 20 with the latest update after showing clear growth and confidence in her overall game. She gets downhill effectively, using her strong frame to create space and finish through traffic, while also showing trust in her mid-range game, including a smooth jumper in transition. Her size and athleticism create matchup problems, but it's her expanding skill set—ball handling, pushing the break, and finding cutters—that truly separates her. She can stretch the floor with her three-point shot and plays with physicality and decisiveness, needing very few dribbles to get to her spots. Defensively, her quick feet, strength, and communication allow her to switch across multiple positions and impact every possession.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["708144"],"_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-6983a8889372e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Jocelyn</strong> continues to climb the rankings with consistently strong performances and has established herself as one of the top point guards in the state of Florida. Smart, poised, and skilled, she plays with an advanced feel for the game and consistently makes high-level decisions with the basketball. What separates her from many at the position is elite shooting ability as she is one of the top three-point shooters in the state, effective both off the catch and off the dribble. Her step-back three is a signature weapon, created by getting defenders on their heels and stopping on a dime for clean looks from deep or the mid-range. A true point guard who can both score and distribute, she excels in transition, gets downhill efficiently, and consistently makes defenses pay by creating opportunities for herself and her teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1235145"],"_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-6983a8889376b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Camila jumps into the Top 30 as a key contributor on one of the best teams in the state while competing against a demanding schedule. She excels in her role, relying on strong fundamentals, pace, and decision-making rather than forcing plays. Her skill set shows through things like a smooth hesi, a clean spin move, and dimes to her teammates for great looks. An elite passer with great handles, she gets to the rim with purpose, stays strong through contact, and converts and-one opportunities. She also impacts the game by crashing the offensive glass and scoring in multiple ways, including deep threes, runners, and long-stride finishes in traffic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
