New England Point Guards to Watch: Under 6’0″

<p>Traditionally, undersized point guards get a knock because of their size. This ideology, unfortunately, overshadows their overall ability. Point guards under 6’0" usually have a unique advantage on the basketball court but are often taken for granted. We’ve highlighted several point guards under 6’0" who look to make an impact in New England this season.<br /> <br /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1081707" first="Kyrell" last="Luc"]</strong> | 5’10" | Brimmer &amp; May | 2021 |</p> <p>The Holy Cross commit is one of the most talented guards in the country. The NEPSAC AA Player of the Year averaged 26 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists per game competing in one of the best leagues in the country. After committing early Luc has cleared the way to focus on improving and preparing for college. <br /> <br /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1081866" first="Gavin" last="Carter"]</strong> | 5’11" | Milton Academy | 2023 |<br /> <br /> Gavin is one of the most underrated guards in New England. He’s known as a shooter throughout the region but his ability to score at all three levels is most intriguing. Physically he continues to improve which complements his overall skill set and toughness.<br /> <br /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1081797" first="Tony" last="Felder"]</strong> | 5’9" | Malden Catholic | 2022 |<br /> <br /> Tony made a major impact this summer playing with Team Spartans earning an offer from UMass. He’s the definition of a lead guard, an extension of the coach on the court. Tony is one of the better playmakers in New England. <br /> <br /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1081790" first="Darryl" last="Simmons"]</strong> | 5’8" | Putnam Science | 2023 |<br /> <br /> Simmons hasn’t scratched the surface of his potential yet. He currently holds offers from UMass, Kentucky State, and Bryant. He’s a shifty player and crafty downhill finisher who plays hard from start to finish. <br /> <br /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1081832" first="Mekhi" last="Dedrick"]</strong> | 5’10" | Boston English | 2022 | <br /> <br /> Mekhi won’t be on this list for long. He’s still growing into this body and I believe Mekhi will be well over 6’0" before he graduates. In the meantime, he remains underrated but should receive high praise within the class by the end of the season. I was immediately taken by his athleticism, explosiveness, and quickness in the open court. <br /> <br /> <br /> </p>
