NPH Canadian Basketball Women’s Player Rankings – Class of 2028
Every year, a new class of talent rises through Canada’s basketball scene, and the Class of 2028 is already proving it belongs on the national stage. This group is raw but gifted — filled with long, athletic forwards, confident guards, and multi-positional players who can grow into future NCAA standouts.
What sets 2028 apart is its ceiling. These players are still early in their high school journeys, yet many are already showing flashes of dominance — protecting the rim, running teams as true lead guards, or scoring with poise well beyond their age.
