How has that changed high school basketball, the pace of the game is much faster and quicker which has allowed these top guards to dominate the game. Here are a few players to keep your eyes on.   [player_tooltip player_id="923126" first="Daniel" last="Savovic"] Guard 6’0 Graduation year 2023 Savovic was a freshman Varsity player last year, and has had a great off season. He has a extremely quick first step and the athletic ability to dominate around the rim. He also has a jumper to match and as he devolpes with be a tough match up for any defender. On the defensive end he has quick feet and hands, and a high IQ. This is a young player to keep your eye on over the next few years, you will be hearing his name. Nick Sysum Guard 6’3 Graduation year 2021 Sysum is a high IQ guard with a quick release jump shot. He is a team player who has no problem sacrificing his body on the defensive end. He has a nice mid range shot but looks just as comfortable shooting the deep ball. He is player who does all the little things to help his team. He is not a flashy player but he is a work horse. The type of player who will do whatever is asked of him. He will be fun to watch this season. [player_tooltip player_id="942046" first="Tucker" last="Molina"] Guard/Forward 6’4 Graduation year 2021 Molina is a bigger body with great guard skills. Although he is a player that has dominated around the rim he has a great jump shot and ball handling skills. His length and strength makes him hard to defend. He has a quick crossover and can rise up at any moment. He has great shot blocking ability on the defensive end because of his patients and timing. I anticipate him having a very strong senior year. [player_tooltip player_id="674426" first="Kaeden" last="McGlothin"] Guard/Forward 6’7 Graduation year 2022 When you look at McGlothin you would assume he liked to play around the rim, but this kid can shoot the ball. He has great footwork on both ends of the floor. His athletic ability allows his to rise above everyone, especially around the rim. His confidence at his age is really impressive and it shows. He is going into is junior year and plays at a high level for being such a young player. He is going to be fun to watch over the next few years.
