Top Available Scoring Guards in 2021

<p>With the high school season getting started in some areas and being canceled in others, we will take a look at some of the top available players in the senior class that coaches should get to know. Today, we take a look at some of the top scoring point and combo guards that are still available for all levels.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1091480" first="Camryn" last="Carter"] | 6’2” | Oak Hill</strong></p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/01/Carter-Camryn-Head-Shot.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1113631" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/01/Carter-Camryn-Head-Shot-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p>Carter came into Oak Hill not as a national name, but the combo guard has been one of the most consistent guys on the Warriors this year and is coming off a big showing in the NIBC at St. James. A two way impact guy, Carter is a guy who will guard the other team’s best player and is also a threat to make shots from multiple levels off the bounce and is able to create for himself and others off the bounce and is excellent late in the shot clock. He recently spoke with Prep Hoop’s Adam Ayalew and mentioned Ole Miss as a top school that’s recruiting him, but he also holds offers from Georgetown, Virginia Tech, Mississippi State, Tulane and more.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="697140" first="Jacob" last="Cooper"] | 5’9” | Green Run</strong></p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/01/Cooper-Jake-CBG.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1111718" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/01/Cooper-Jake-CBG-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p>Cooper can be labeled as a floor general or a pass first point guard as well, but he’s shown over the past year that he’s capable of being the go-to scoring guard as well. While he isn’t the biggest guy on the court, Cooper makes it all look so easy as he has a tight handle and changes speeds and directions well, he can create space and make shots from deep at a high clip and he has a great middle game and is a crafty finisher around the basket. Cooper holds offers from a number of D2 schools including Mount Olive, LeMoyne-Owen, WV Wesleyan, Tusculum, VA Union and more.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="697100" first="Quadir" last="Pettaway"] | 6’0” | Woodside</strong></p> <p>Pettaway was a standout guy on Miller School the past few years, and chose to transfer back to Newport News going into his senior year and has been on a tear this fall and winter. A smooth scoring guard that can play on or off the basketball, Pettaway has terrific footwork and can create space and he’s a guy who can make tough shots from all over the floor. He gets hot quickly and can fill it up in bunches, and he is seeing interest from a number of schools at multiple levels.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="957897" first="Cam" last="Edmonds"] | 6’1” | Western Branch</strong></p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/10/Edmonds-Cam-CBG.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1062316" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/10/Edmonds-Cam-CBG-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p>Edmonds was one of the top scorers in the 757 last season, and over the fall and winter he has been on a tear including a 32 point outing in session one of the CBG Winter Series. A combo guard that can play on or off the basketball, Edmonds is a knock down shooter from deep who is highly efficient, and he’s able to attack closeouts or use pick-and-rolls to get in the lane where he can score it in the midrange and at the rim. He holds multiple D2 offers including Bluefield State, and should see more and more come along with time.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="748763" first="Christian" last="Moore"] | 6’0” | Cape Henry</strong></p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/11/Moore-Christian-CHC.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1079361" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/11/Moore-Christian-CHC-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p>Another big time scoring guard in the 757, Moore is a guy who is one of the top scorers in Cape Henry’s illustrious basketball history, and is one of the most under recruited guys in the state. An athletic guard who gets hot quickly, Moore is shifty off the bounce, has deep range and can create for himself both in isolation and pick-and-roll scenarios. He holds an offer from Army and would be a great look for any school that needs a guy to fill it up.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="687573" first="Kenard" last="Richardson"] | 6’3” | Life Christian</strong></p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/10/IMG_0872.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1065187" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/10/IMG_0872-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p>A former Iona commit, Richardson is the reigning VISAA D3 state POY and an absolute dog on both ends of the floor. He’s developed into a combo guard that can use his size both on and off the basketball to get open, and he’s a deadly midrange shooter who can stop on a dime and shoot the pull-up at a very good clip. He’s become a more consistent shooter from deep and is a big time finisher at and above the rim, and he’s a guy who can guard the other team’s best player as well.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="798710" first="Ricky" last="Goode-Wright"] | 6’0” | James Monroe</strong></p> <p>Goode-Wright has been the top scorer in the Fredericksburg area over the past few years, and is the leading scorer in James Monroe history already. A highly skilled guard that plays with good pace and a good handle, he’s a guy who can create in isolation situations with ease and can score the ball in a number of ways. He can shoot it from deep, he has good finishing ability around the rim and he’s also able to make others better.</p>
