1.4-1.10 Scouting Report: Guards

<p>PHW features a slate of unsung guards in this week’s scouting report.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="865837" first="Chevalier" last="Emery"] Jr. - Neenah - 2022: Emery has been a bright spot for a red-hot Neenah team this season. He’s skilled, able to drive against anyone and make tough finishes. His calling card is on defense. He can stick with opposing guards, and he’s quick and agile enough to swipe at the ball or pick up full court. As he hones his fundamentals, he’ll reach his full potential.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="994425" first="Henry" last="Wright"] - Fond Du Lac - 2021: An all-around solid prospect. He’s averaging 16.2 points per game and can score at all three levels. Plays poised basketball and is a patient scorer who can burn defenses that don’t give him full attention.</p> <p>Will Boser - Eau Claire Memorial - 2022: The junior is at the helm of Eau Claire Memorial this season, averaging a team-high 18.5 points per game. He’s been consistent in recent weeks, scoring 19 in his last two games and shooting a combined 8-15 in the matchups. A nice player to keep an eye on, as scouts should like his shooting and 6’4 frame at the guard spot.</p> <p>Devin Griffin - Westosha Central - 2022: A physically strong guard that jumped onto our radar this season. He’s averaging close to 15 points a night and finished with 23 this week against Elkhorn. The 5’11” guard has a good fundamental base and is a slasher in the paint. Doesn’t shoot many threes, but knocks them down when he does, as he’s made 7 of 11 attempts this season.</p> <p>Jackson Zibell - Waunakee - 2021: Zibell stood out in Waunakee’s debut on Thursday. He made quick, sharp attacks to the rim and showed crafty scoop finishes. Didn’t drive a ton, but when he did, he attacked with intent and purpose.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1036047" first="Caden" last="Nelson"] - Waunakee - 2021: A brawny, physical attacking guard that scored 12 points on Thursday. Very patient in the lane, able to pivot and pump fake to throw off the defense. A problem attacking downhill.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="880029" first="Tre" last="Valeriano"] - Pius XI Catholic - 2021: Valeriano impressed in his two games this week, both against New Berlin West. He dropped 23 and 30 points. His offensive game is as polished as ever, as he’s able to score in any manner. I like his defense more than anything, though. He has quick hands and great awareness and can help in the lane to block shots or pickpocket opposing guards.</p> <p>CJ Campbell - New Richmond - 2022: A very underrated player that’s been one of the best scorers in the state this year. The lanky, 6’5” shooting guard scored 31 earlier in the week, just above his 29.2 points per game average. He is shooting over 48 percent from the field, too. Campbell can also deliver on the other end. He averages 3.7 steals a game and 1.3 blocks.</p>
