Stolen Spring: Combo Guards Houston Edition

Here we are at the end of the month of May. Prospects didn’t get to tune up for Grassroots Hoops in March to prepare for the LIVE Periods in April. And normally the month of May is normally the free-agent period in grassroots as teams re-gear up for the Summer. Here are 7 prospects regardless of graduating class who would’ve made an impact. [player_tooltip player_id="887052" first="Noah" last="Kon"] 6’1” CG • Houston Christian • 2021 Noah is a 2X All-State honoree and 2X State Champion. He looks to add one more going into his senior season next year. He is a dynamic combo that is more reared as a point than an off-ball prospect. Although his outside shooting has improved, it is his ability to take his man off the dribble to rim and engage defenses to collapse around him as he drives for open shooters on the wings and in the corners. He is athletic and plays above the rim. He currently holds no offers and was looking for all that to change this spring as he ran on the Under Armor circuit with the Houston Defenders. He was ready to show coaches that he was worthy of a scholarship offer and would’ve picked up a couple along during the Live Event.

He has the ability to create for his teammates and was looking to make that his primary focus for Team Harden an Adidas affiliate of the 3SSB Circuit.
