2020 Sleeper Guards To Note

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Just a few days till high school basketball starts up in Ohio, exciting times! I wanted to profile a few players who are worth taking a chance on, that will make a college program better one day. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">These players all may not end up playing college hoops, as different opportunities arise. All of them are definitely next level players, though!</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"><b>Keaton Turner (2020) | 6-0 PG | Dublin Coffman </b></span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Turner is a player that could significantly blow up this season. Finally that guy at Coffman, he’ll be able to show everything he can do this season, as they will heavily rely on him. The senior is a multi level scorer, athletic and makes good decisions. Quick burst to the hoop separates him from others. The shifty guard can stop and score from anywhere, not many like him in the area. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"><b>Qian Magwood (2020) | 6-0 PG | Walnut Ridge </b></span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Walnut Ridge senior is the definition of a multi-sport athlete. One that succeeds at a couple sports as well. Magwood will play division l football, but he’s a basketball prospect in his own right as well. Athletic guard that gets teammates involved and plays both ends with high energy. The senior can score in traffic with quickness, shoot off the dribble and is a competitor. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"><b>Blake Lloyd (2020) | 6-2 G | CHCA</b></span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Lloyd is a streaky scorer that can get on a role at times. Tough build allows him to do damage at the rim off of the dribble drive. Streaky shooter that can catch fire at times and burry it. Smart player that works hard. Two guard. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"><b>Sean Moore (2020) | 6-4 WG | Reynoldsburg </b></span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Moore will likely have a larger role Reynoldsburg this year, as a primary scorer possibly. The senior has a strong build and is a matchup problem at times for guards. Can knockdown shots, cause pain at the rim for other teams. Works well off the ball as a slasher to get open looks. Has played with some talented players, splits duties well. Embraces role. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"><b>Mitch Heilman (2020) | 6-0 G | Ashland </b></span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Mitch is one of those players that coaches can trust to go out there and get it done. Heilman operates with a good IQ, and can work on or off the ball. Solid spot up shooter off the catch and can work off the bounce. Good athleticism to the hoop where he gets through the lane and can finish through contact showing his toughness. That toughness likely comes from his QB1 position. The senior would be a really good fit for area division lll programs. </span></p>
