#NEXTSouthwestRegionFinals: 13U Standout Point Guards

Dallas, Texas — The Prep Hoops Next Southwest Region Finals brought out some of the toughest, most talented teams and players across the country. The fans, players, and coaches all brought intense, electric energy throughout the weekend. The competition on the court was stiff for all ages, from 11U up to 14U and teams fought tough and nail to leave this tournament on top. Here we’ll take a look at a few of the top-performing point guards out of the 13U bracket.

| Langston Adams | Port Arthur, TX | Houston Blue Chips 2026 |

Langston Adams is an incredibly electrifying point guard with contagious energy, whenever he got hyped up and got it going the rest of his teammates followed suit. If I had to describe this lead guard in one word it would be speedy. Once Adams had a step past his man he was off to the basket where he was sure to finish the layup more times than not. When pushing the pace or creating his own shot, he was quick, shifty, and often utilized in-and-out hesitation moves that broke through press defenses with ease. As a defender, Adams was very pesky, constantly hounding every point guard all the way up the floor. Langston Adams was amazing the entire weekend, but he put his full skillset on display when he dropped 14 points against YB33 2026. 

| William Albrecht | Rio Rancho, NM | JB White Elite 2026 | 

This New Mexico prospect had a major impact on the offense and the game as a whole, it seemed like everything stopped and started with him. A blur in the open court, he showed good stop-and-start capabilities when changing directions and speeds. An excellent ball-handler with elite quickness, elusiveness, deceptive moves, and smooth control. William wiggled through tight spaces like no other and there was no stripping the ball from him, he was a pure dribbling machine. Albrecht handled the ball like it was attached to his hand, the JB White guard made all types of passes, throwing guys open, and tossing around some accurate crosscourt passes, usually with his right hand. His ability to get into the center of the paint and make quick decisions was uncanny, William Albrecht couldn’t be stopped on the dribble drive, anytime he made his way inside you could expect a play that resulted in points on the board. Impressive body control, William drew contact when penetrating the lane and hanging in the air, showing the ability to make crafty, reverse. up-and-under layups. William Albrecht has elite playmaker potential written all over him.

| Zavian Vickers | Oviedo, FL | TNBA Team Jayhawks 2026 |

Vickers showed top-notch 3-and-D talent along with an impeccable shooting touch. Zavian Vickers’ jumper was as consistent as it gets, hitting the same spot every time it fell, splashing right through the bottom of the net beautifully. Nice snap of the wrist, perfect rotation on the ball, and gets it out of his hands quickly. Vickers was also a terror in the open floor, slowing him down wasn’t an option, the defense just hoped to stop or alter his shot at the basket. Defensively, he showed quick choppy feet and a good ability to read and anticipate his opponent’s next moves, often beating them to their next spot. 

| Evan Gunn | Oklahoma City, OK | ODE 2026 |

Evan Gunn, a strong stocky lead guard with quick handles, and fantastic control, this kid never picks up or loses his dribble no matter how many defenders you throw at him. He kept the defense honest and on the move with his constant change of direction and pace. As soon as he created space, got past his defender’s hip, or saw the lane open up, Gunn immediately looked to attack. An outstanding burst of quickness in his first step, his explosiveness allowed him to consistently beat the defense off the dribble and also pull-up for a jumper when needed.  

| Kinyun Johnson | Fayetteville, AR | Arkansas Athletes Outreach 2026 |

Kinyun Johnson is a workhorse type of player, willing to do any and everything on the floor unprompted. Great offensive instincts, this point guard had a counter-attack for whatever the defense threw at him, making it easier for him to get into the lane for a layup using his speed, body strength, and his phenomenal footwork. On the other side of the ball, Johnson proved to be a very bothersome defender when he’s low to the ground. This Arkansas prospect slowed some of the best scorers of the 13U division down, forcing them into turnovers and bad shot selections. Kinyun Johnson’s on-ball defense was remarkable, he took his man out of the game without getting into foul trouble and did a terrific job of defending without using his hands, utilizing nothing but his quick-moving feet and his anticipation skills. 

| Jordan Goodman | The Colony, TX | Lightning Elite 2026 |

This kid Jordan Goodman was a major scoring threat both inside and outside the perimeter. Not only was he one of the craftiest finishers under the basket in the building, but he could also do damage from long range. Goodman made teams pay for not respecting his jump shot and giving him too much space. Although he was the smallest ballplayer on the court, it never hindered his ability to get a shot up, once he had a view of the basket anything was possible. If you give Jordan Goodman an inch of space you’re going to be in a world of trouble.
