College coaches won’t have as much time this year as in the past so we are here to breakdown the talent in the upcoming senior class. Today, we are looking at the top ball handlers in the class.
Nijel Pack – 6’0 PG Lawrence Central (IN) – Indy Heat EYBL 2020
Hayden Jones – 6’0 PG East Noble (IN) – Indy Heat Red 2020
Max Gizzi – 6’0 PG New Palestine (IN) – Indiana Elite East 2020
Simon Scherry – 6’1 PG Heritage Hills (IN) – DistinXion 2020
Johnell Davis – 6’4 SG Gary 21st (IN) – Indy Heat EYBL 2020
Mitchell Wilson – 5’11 PG Columbia City (IN) – Team Focus 2020 Gold
Michael Saunders Jr. – 5’11 PG Watasch Academy (UT) – UA Grind 2020
Noah Jager – 5’9 PG Bloomington South (IN) – DistinXion 2020
Jacob Jones – 5’9 PG Jeffersonville (NI) – Indy Hoyas 2020
Thoughts: We have talked a lot about the lack of depth in the class but if you need a secure guard that can run your offense, there are quite a few to pick from. We have guys at the top with Nijel Pack and Michael Saunders Jr. that have tons of DI options already but each level has options here.
Simon Scherry and Noah Jager come to mind when looking at the position and who you can just flat out trust. Both are capable on the offensive end but are reliable every time out. They lack turnovers, are high on assists and control the pace.
A few other names to watch here if you are looking for a sneaky pickup would be Hayden Jones and Mitchell Wilson. The two northern Indiana guards are different on offense but both very secure and should draw the eye of plenty colleges.
