<p><strong>CTC Fall League: Week 2 Top Guards<br />
<br />
2023 5-8 PG [player_tooltip player_id="1131512" first="Authur" last="Johnson"] – Bowdon<br />
</strong>Prolific scorer. Tight handle. Makes magic with the ball. Has a heavy load to carry and is a volume shooter by necessity. Creates separation with the dribble. Uses a sidestep to free himself for jumpers, a hesitation to get downhill and scores with either hand on tear drop floaters. Leads the league in scoring at 35 points per game. D-I skill level.</p>
<p><strong>2022 6-2 SG [player_tooltip player_id="1235076" first="JoJo" last="Bell"] – Central-Carrollton<br />
</strong>Toolsy guard on the verge of blowing up. Should be on D-II radars. High-energy athlete with springy legs. Three-level scorer with an accurate three-point shot and explosion to the rim. Active defender forces turnovers and blocks shots. A year in a college weight room could really help him take off.</p>
<p><strong>2025 6-0 PG Josh Dixon – North Cobb Christian<br />
</strong>Savvy veteran before even playing a high school game. Smooth and easy feel. Handles vs. pressure and sees the floor. Foul magnet when getting in the paint. Floater and mid-range game are strong.</p>
<p><strong>2023 6-0 PG Elijah Ford – Kennesaw Mountain<br />
</strong>Creates space on the perimeter with combo moves. Shoots the three off the dribble and has wiggle to the rim. Doesn’t force the issue much. Competes defensively.</p>
<p><strong>2024 6-1 G O’Brien Watkins – Carrollton<br />
</strong>Young guard finds himself in the right place on both ends of the floor. Will shoot the three but is comfortable running the offense and getting others looks first. Sneaks in for offensive rebounds.</p>
<p><strong>2022 6-3 G Will Fincher – Kennesaw Mountain<br />
</strong>Dynamic athlete that explodes to the hoop. Jacksonville State baseball-commit can overpower smaller guards when attacking the rim. Plays multiple positions. Effective in the high post as a passer. Can put the ball on the floor and elevate for dunks. Good shot blocker.</p>
