Prospect Spotlight: Jordan Guerrero (2019)
The Titans of New Town High School are comprised of under the radar players who will come together to form quite the challenge to the county’s best such as Perry Hall, Milford Mill, Dulaney and Woodlawn. Among that list of players is Jordan Guerrero, a 6’4 junior guard that will play a significant role for the Titans after having a big spring and summer.
Playing for Team Rebel’s 16U, Guerrero did a solid job of displaying his ability to score. He averaged over 20 points per game in multiple tournaments and slowly but surely, began catching people’s eyes. He then attended our Top 250 Expo and was one of the standouts listed from the event. Initially he catches your eye because of his length, but once you see how hard he plays on both ends, it doesn’t take long before noticing just how much impact he can have.
The Titans experienced plenty of ups and down last season in large part because of their young roster. Even though they kept in games with some high caliber teams in the county, the experience just wasn’t there. That shouldn’t be an issue this season considering their main core returns and has improved. Guerrero is very much a part of that core.
“We were just so young last year,” Guerrero told Prep Hoops. “But this season, we have a more experienced group. I think we’re going to be good. We just have to stay together when adversity hits and keep sharing the ball every game. We’ll probably be one of the biggest teams in the county overall.”
Coming into his junior season, Guerrero feels much more confident in his jumpshot. He spent the offseason working on that part of his game especially off the dribble. Guerrero is already a solid catch-and-shoot threat from three, but he’ll be expected to take on a bigger role and playing more off the dribble this season.
Where he shines brightest is out in transition when his athleticism and motor can be in the spotlight. It doesn’t matter if he is the last man on the break, he’s going to sprint like he’s the lead man for a lay up.
In terms of improvements for this season, Guerrero wants to focus on his leadership qualities. “Just constantly communicating to my teammates when we’re on the floor, especially on the defensive end,” Guerrero said.
The 6’4 guard doesn’t hold any offers currently, but Towson and Drexel have shown interest. If the Titans can shake things up in the Baltimore County standings, it’ll be in large part because of Guerrero’s production.
