With the 2026-2027 high school basketball season officially starting in a few weeks, we take a deep dive into the top fifteen players by position. Here are the fifteen (15) best wings and small forwards in the Sunshine State, regardless of class. Keep in mind these players are not listed in any particular order.
By: Southeast Hoops Report
6-6 SF Jordan Page, IMG Academy (FL)- 2027- UConn commit
Page tends to look more like a small forward than a shooting guard based on his size. On the offensive end, he moves exceptionally well without the basketball in his hands, where he can get to his spots playing off ball. He has become more comfortable when it comes to handling the basketball in transition, where he makes smart decisions on whether to shoot versus drive-and-kick to an open teammate. On the defensive end, he is versatile, as he can guard positions 1 through 4 with his length and athleticism, and he challenges shots on the perimeter as well as altering shots around the rim. Overall, he will become the secondary ball handler for a loaded IMG Academy squad as they search to return to form under first-year head coach Jackson Johnson.
6-8 SF Brock Bass-Bonner- Aubrey Rogers HS (FL)- 2027
Bass-Bonner has established himself as one of the top two-way wings in the state for his class. He is a matchup nightmare for opposing guards given his size and stature, as he can defend on the perimeter as well as cause havoc as a rim protector. On the offensive end, he runs the floor exceptionally well for his size, where he can get to the rim and has explosiveness finishing over multiple defenders. He has also expanded his offensive game into the mid-range, where he has a soft touch off the catch. On the defensive end, his length and ability to guard multiple positions speak volumes. Overall, his high motor and ability to make an impact on both ends of the floor should start calling on mid-major college coaches to start showing interest.

Winters is coming off a strong summer season playing for Outside the Perimeter on the PRO16 circuit. He brings good size, length, and versatility, and he can play multiple positions on both ends of the floor. On the offensive end, he is a capable shot maker whether it is as the primary ball handler or moving without the ball to get to his spots. He is also unafraid when it comes to being aggressive, showing off his athleticism by finishing at the rim over multiple defenders. On the defensive end, he moves well for his size and can guard in the paint, where he snatches down timely rebounds and limits the opposition from getting second-chance scoring opportunities. It will be intriguing to see how Winters plays after transferring from Osborne High School in Atlanta.

6-4 SG/SF Donovan Swain- Coral Glades HS (FL)- 2027
Swain is coming off an impressive spring and summer season playing for Team Gold Coast on the On the Radar circuit. He brings good positional size, and he continues to trend upwards as far as stock. On the offensive end, he is a capable shot maker, where he can pick-and-pop from behind the arc as well as making huge strides when he can finish above the rim on the attack. He can also be efficient off the catch, where he sees the floor exceptionally well for his size, making the right reads to open teammates. Overall, he has expanded his game where he can impact the game in multiple ways and could be in store for a big senior season on a loaded Coral Glades team that was one win away from reaching the school’s first Final Four appearance a year ago.

6-7 SF Malachi Jordan- Prolific Prep (FL)- 2027
Jordan comes over to Prolific Prep after playing his junior season at Dream City Christian in Arizona, where he was a dominant scorer from the inside on the offensive end. His game will transition to one where he can play off the ball as well as occasionally get to his spots where he can be a knockdown shooter on multiple levels. On the defensive end, he is very switchable, where he can often at times guard on the ball as well as help on the glass, snatching down timely rebounds. His length makes him a matchup problem for the opposition, as he can impact the game in multiple ways. Overall, he has been recruited by notable schools such as Alabama, Auburn, Arizona State, Kansas, Indiana, Miami, and several others. The next step in his overall game will be to gain consistency and more confidence when it comes to shooting from the perimeter off the catch.
MALACHI JORDAN TRANSFERS TO PROLIFIC PREP:
6-7 SF Carson Crawford- Fleming Island HS (FL)- 2027- Arizona State commit
Crawford operates primarily as a small forward, but with his given size, length, and athleticism, he can play multiple positions on both ends of the floor. On the offensive end, he doesn’t get rattled or phased when facing a double-team, as his size allows him to see the floor exceptionally well. He is a smart decision-maker when he has the basketball in his hands, as he delivers timely and accurate passes to open teammates. On the defensive end, he uses his length and quick movement to be effective in the passing lanes, often turning his defense into offense by generating steals that lead to scores on the offensive end. Overall, he has a knack for scoring in a variety of ways, whether it’s his dangerous pull-up jump shot, craftiness around the rim, or knocking down clean looks from the perimeter. At the next level, Crawford will likely fill in the open-wing role where he can defend multiple positions and truly develop his frame into a valuable 3-and-D type player.
CARSON CRAWFORD NAMED STANDOUT AT HOOP EXCHANGE FALL FESTIVAL:
6-6 SF Markus Kerr- Wellington Sports Academy (FL)- 2027- Xavier commit
Kerr can show his true value when he can space the floor and make the defense pay with his true three-point shooting. He also moves exceptionally well without the basketball in his hands, using screens and showing a true understanding of where to get to his spots. He has vastly improved as a pure scorer who can be effective off the dribble, while already being efficient off the catch. On the defensive end, he stays engaged and understands the assignment, where he can be efficient in the passing lanes, rebounding, and turning defense into offense by generating steals.
MARKUS KERR COMMITS TO XAVIER:
6-7 SF Henry Robinson Jr., Pine Ridge HS (FL)- 2027- Jacksonville commit
Robinson Jr. put together a strong summer season playing with Tre Mann Elite on the PRO16 League circuit. He showcases a combination skill set of size, length, physicality, and versatility on both ends of the floor. On the offensive end, Robinson has made huge strides as both a playmaker and shot creator. His handle has vastly improved, and he has become more comfortable handling the basketball out on the perimeter; he also has a high IQ, and he gets his teammates involved early and often. On the defensive end, he is strong, mobile, and has all the tools to be a true difference-maker. His length allows him to be effective in the passing lanes, guard multiple positions, and limit the opposition from getting second-chance scoring opportunities.
HENRY ROBINSON JR. COMMITS TO JACKSONVILLE UNIVERSITY
6-6 SF Anthony Brown- Boca Ciega HS (FL)- 2027- Tulsa commit
Brown is a strong and athletic wing who can make you pay with his will to attack the basket on the offensive end. He has continued to improve his perimeter game, which would add another dimension to his all-around offensive game. On the defensive end, Brown competes at a high level, where he uses his frame to guard bigger players, as well as adding impressive footwork where he stays engaged guarding smaller players. Overall, his rebounding and defense have improved drastically and could be in store for a strong senior season.
ANTHONY BROWN COMMITS TO TULSA:
6-6 SF Nijaun Harris- Boca Ciega HS (FL)- 2028
Harris relies heavily on his strength and body control when it comes to the offensive end. He has a strong knack for attacking the paint, absorbing contact, and consistently finding ways to get to the free-throw line. He also adds a smooth mid-range game where he forces the defense into a collapse by respecting his jump shot. On the defensive end, he can guard multiple positions using his physicality and staying disciplined, where he challenges shots at the rim without fouling. Look for Harris to continue to gain major attention as he heads into his junior season, teaming up with Anthony Brown as Boca Ciega looks to get back to the Final Four for the second consecutive year.
6-7 SF Jordan Fisher, Columbus HS (FL)- 2028
Fisher is an athletic, strong, slashing combo forward with a physically mature frame. He does most of his damage inside the arc, attacking the rim and finishing through contact on the offensive end. On the defensive end, he is a slasher and hard-nosed rebounder, where he uses his length and frame to his advantage, limiting the opposition from getting second-chance scoring opportunities. His overall game is continuing to blossom into a likely high-major prospect who should draw considerable attention heading into his upcoming junior season.
6-7 SG/SF Reggie Evans Jr., Academy of Central Florida (FL)- 2029
Evans has a great feel for skill and natural physical gifts that he possesses. Evans is comfortable operating in ball screens, guarding multiple positions, and can really make splash plays above the rim with his athleticism. Evans finds ways to get all of his production within the flow of the game as well, never forcing the issue, which is often a problem for talented young players. Overall, he consistently makes the right basketball play, whether that means taking a shot, moving the ball to his teammates, or simply keeping the offense flowing. His decision-making stood out and reflected a maturity beyond his age. I fully expect Evans to make a real case for himself as the top prospect in High School basketball over the coming years.
6-9 SF Herbert Agamba- Jordan Christian Prep (FL)- 2029
Agamba is coming off a strong Grassroots season where he played for Austin Rivers SE Elite 3SSB 16U on the Adidas circuit. He has become more comfortable playing the combo forward position given his size. He can stretch the defense with his ability to be a three-level scorer on the offensive end. He can also make defenders pay with his length to punish smaller defenders at the point of attack, where he can finish at the dunker’s spot effectively. On the defensive end, he can guard multiple positions and stay engaged, as he shows impressive footwork when guarding out on the perimeter. He has already received offers from Florida State, Mississippi State, and Texas A&M. Overall, Agamba is just scratching the surface and could potentially be one of the best 2029 wings not just in the state but arguably in the nation.
6-7 SF Draydne McDaniel- Prolific Prep (FL)- 2029
McDaniel is coming off a strong Grassroots season playing with Pro One Basketball Club on the Under Armour circuit. The rising sophomore is versatile and can play multiple positions on both ends of the floor. On the offensive end, he is a high-volume scorer who can be efficient both off the catch and off the bounce. The left-handed sharpshooter is expected to see a lot of attention this season while playing for a loaded Prolific Prep squad. McDaniel is already receiving offers from Alabama, Arizona State, and Georgia Tech.
6-5 SF Miles Simpson- The Villages Charter HS (FL)- 2028
Standing at 6-foot-5, Simpson has the size where he can play either as a wing or as a guard. He can often at times slide into the small forward position depending on the lineup. His play style often at times allows him to play multiple positions, which gives his coach a boost of trust and confidence. On the offensive end, he is comfortable in the mid-range as well as being unafraid when it comes to finishing around the rim at the point of attack. Overall, Simpson is a high-level athlete who can make shots on the perimeter on the offensive end as well as being asked to guard multiple positions on the defensive end.
