2017 Position Rankings: Point Guards

The class of 2017 is one of the deepest the state has had in some time.  As we go through the different positions, you'll notice the depth at the small forward and power forward spots.  However, point guard is about normal for any given class.  At the top of the group you have Indianapolis Pike's Justin Roberts.  He's joined by other DI level guards in Isaiah Coleman, Kobe Webster, Jaylen Minnett, and Tra Landers to round out the Top 5. As we look down the list, guys like Matt Jennings of Logansport, Sterling Brown of Carmel, and Dominic Genco of Zionsville are the biggest movers of the bunch due to their success this high school season.  We have plenty of newcomers as well.  Northeastern's Tyler Smith is the best of the bunch but don't overlook Deon Moore of Gary Roosevelt and Cameron Sembly of Indianapolis Manual. Overall, this class of point guards seems to be on the smaller side, especially at the top but you have playmakers all around.  These are guys that can do double-duty for you as a lead guard and a scorer.  I love the combination of that in guys like Kobe Webster, Michael Ertel, and Matt Jennings.  You also have some high-volume scorers like Justin Robert, Jaylen Minnett, and Tyler Smith as well as some high-end pass first guys like Sterling Brown, Davontae Kinnie, and Tra Landers. This class has a balance of different types of point guards but not a ton of elite size.  With that said, here is a look at the 2017 Point Guards. <table dir="ltr" border="1" cellspacing="10" cellpadding="10"><colgroup> <col width="26" /> <col width="200" /> <col width="32" /> <col width="39" /> <col width="200" /> <col width="36" /></colgroup> <tbody> <tr> <td><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Rank</span></strong></td> <td><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Name</span></strong></td> <td><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Height</span></strong></td> <td><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Position</span></strong></td> <td><strong><span style="color: #000000;">High School</span></strong></td> <td><strong><span style="color: #000000;">College</span></strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td><span style="color: #000000;">5</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;">Justin Roberts</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;">5'11</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;">PG</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;">Indianapolis Pike</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><span style="color: #000000;">8</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;">Isaiah Coleman</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;">5'11</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;">PG</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;">LaPorte La Lumiere</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><span style="color: #000000;">9</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;">Kobe Webster</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;">5'11</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;">PG</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;">Park Tudor</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><span style="color: #000000;">11</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;">Jaylen Minnett</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;">6'1</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;">PG</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;">Terre Haute South</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;">IUPUI</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><span style="color: #000000;">19</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;">Tra Landers</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;">6'1</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;">PG</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;">Cathedral</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><span style="color: #000000;">20</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;">Michael Ertel</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;">6'0</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;">PG</span></td> <td><span style="color: #000000;">Mt.
