<p>The high school season has wrapped up and now it is time to start taking a look at the highlights from our prospects. With these, we want to highlight 3 players who are similar in class and position. Get some time to dive into some quick thoughts, stat breakdowns, and film. Today, we are looking at 2022 Guards.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1063979" first="Zack" last="Jeffers"] – 6’1 PG 2022 – Liberty Christian (IN)</strong><br />
<strong>Stats</strong>: 7.6 Pts, 2.7 Rebs, 1.8 Asts, 39% 3FG<br />
<strong>Thoughts</strong>: Jeffers is a smaller guard who can knock down shots from the outside, but his release is fairly slow which allows defenders to get out on him on the closeout. Jeffers can also take a dribble or two to get to his spot and pull up for the jumper. Liberty Christian’s entire offense runs through [player_tooltip player_id="870284" first="Christian" last="Nunn"], but Jeffers seems to be a solid role player who can knock down his shots when he needs to. </p>

<p><strong>Ellis Lyons – 6’0 PG 2022 – North Putnam (IN)</strong><br />
<strong>Stats</strong>: 9.4 Pts, 2.6 Rebs, 2.6 Asts, 39% 3FG<br />
<strong>Thoughts</strong>: Lyons is a smaller guard who can knock it down from deep. He is lights out on the catch and shoot. In addition to his shooting, he has some pretty good ball-handling ability and has great touch around the rim. He can finish in many different ways. His highlight film did not show much besides his shooting and finishing ability, but Lyons seems like a solid scorer overall. With [player_tooltip player_id="874196" first="Mason" last="Brooks"] gone for North Putnam, Lyons will be one of the top two options for the Cougars next season. He will be a player to keep an eye on next season for sure.</p>

<p><strong>Gavin Robertson – 5’10 PG 2022 – Greenfield-Central (IN)</strong><br />
<strong>Stats</strong>: 10.7 Pts, 2.3 Rebs, 3.0 Asts, 1.4 Stls, 39% 3FG<br />
<strong>Thoughts</strong>: Robertson is a smaller guard who can do a little bit of everything. He is quick with the ball and is never afraid to pull it from the outside. He has a smooth outside shot with a nice rhythm, and if he is left open, he isn’t going to miss. Robertson is also a good finisher inside and knows how to avoid the bigger shot blockers. Something that he has added to his game is his quick little floater in the lane. Gavin sees the court well and he is going to be a player to watch for Division three schools that want a scoring point guard. </p>
