Jackson Steele 6’3 2022 Guard McKinney High School
Jackson gets better and better every time I see him. When I first saw him he was only a threat to stretch the floor from his set shot, now when I watch him he has the ability to take his defenders off the bounce and shoot over them at a high clip. He has grown into his body and added a lot of strength to his frame. With his strength he is now fearless and loves attacking the defense in the paint. He will prove to be an intricate part of McKinneys success as the second to third option to score from the guard position.
Jaylen Johnson 6’5 2022 Wing Frisco Memorial High School
Jaylen is an intelligent wing who has all the tools to score off the catch, dribble and in the paint. He is even can create for his teammates throwing difficult passes out to the corners. I was blown away by his all around complete game. He will end up being a focal point of Frisco Memorials offense this year or the next year depending on his development. I would guess that it is sooner rather than later…
Chase Henderson Chase Henderson 5'10" | SG Birdville | 2022 State TX 2022 Guard Birdville High School
Chase is an athletic combo guard who can get his shot off the dribble. He has a soft floater he loves to get to and is a strong finisher on both sides of the rim. His hustle and non stop energy allows him to keep his opponents uncomfortable on both ends of the floor, diving after loose balls and consistently going the extra mile for his team. I would like to see him work on his ability to create for his teammates, there were a few times he missed extra passes that could have resulted in wide open threes or layups for his team.
Annaris Brandon 2022 Judson High School
Brandon is a highly skilled point guard who has a multitude of spots he is comfortable with in the midrange. He loves beating defenders out of the triple threat and stopping on a dime in his favorite spots along the baseline and on the elbow. He is a scrappy defender who is great at timing his steals from his opponents live dribble. He is a pretty explosive athlete at the guard position, he can bring down the rim whenever he wants to!
Avery Jackson Jr. Avery Jackson Jr. 6'2" | SG Frisco Memorial | 2022 State TX Jr 2022 Guard Frisco Memorial High School
Avery is a sharpshooting combo guard who can get his shot off over anyone. He is fearless and has an ability to knock down NBA range three pointers. He has a quick release making him a deadly shooter off the catch, he is also excellent at moving without the basketball. I would like to see him work on his ability to create with a live dribble and attack the rim.
