In this article, PH takes a look at the top pure point guards making an appearance in the c/o 2022 rankings.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="787641" first="Milos" last="Uzan"]<em> 6’3 Desert Pines</em> - You could call Uzan a throwback. He’s a pass-first PG that understands how to organize and run a team. Have to seriously factor in how much he raises the play of those around him when evaluating them. He excels at every skill necessary for a point guard to be successful, including ball handling, passing and patience.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="859646" first="Tavionte" last="Jackson"] <em>6’1 Las Vegas</em> - Jackson is unique in the fact that his best skill is his ability to rebound his position. It helps him a lot though. Jackson’s ability to take the ball off the rim and lead the break is one of the skills that make him one of the most dynamic PG’s in the class.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="859641" first="Damion" last="Byrd"] <em>5’11 Silverado</em> - Byrd is a good on-ball defender that harasses ballhandlers. He is another pass-first player, one that prefers to set up teammates as opposed to looking for his own shot. Byrd is a high IQ pure PG, that understands the correct plays needed to help his team win. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="712123" first="Elijah" last="Johnson"] <em>5’10 Durango</em> - Johnson is an interesting player to keep an eye on. His strength is his ability to stay in front of ballhandlers. He is a pest, with a low center of gravity, and quick lateral agility. Johnson will have to improve his offensive game, but he has shown the ability to knock down open 3’s and finish in transition.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="859659" first="Kei" last="Childress Jr"]<em> 6’1 Rancho</em> - Childress is part of a young and talented nucleus at Rancho. His best skill is running the offense and getting the ball into the hands of playmakers. He is part of a balanced Rancho squad and contributed 7 points and 4 rebounds per game last season.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://twitter.com/7outzbballclub1">Follow Prep Hoops Nevada</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
