<p>What 2023 point guards and combos made the biggest jump in our latest update?  We dive into that group of prospects right here!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="994687" first="Kaiden" last="Space"] (St. Rita)</strong></p> <p>Previous Ranking: #29<br /> Current Ranking: #14</p> <p>Space is a combo guard from St. Rita that was rock solid all spring and summer for Young &amp; Reckless along with his play for his high school team in June.  I think what stands out about him is how he can play on or off the ball and be effective doing either.  One of the better shooting combos in the class.  Perfect fit with the Rita 2024 trio!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="989268" first="DeAndre" last="Craig"] (Mt. Carmel)</strong></p> <p>Previous Ranking: #47<br /> Current Ranking: #25</p> <p>Craig elevated his stock with a strong July for the South Cook Jaguars.  The Mt. Carmel guard played up on the 17U level and didn’t seem fazed at all.  The compact guard is tough as nails and plays with an advanced understanding of the game.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="989274" first="Brock" last="Harding"] (Moline)</strong></p> <p>Previous Ranking: #79<br /> Current Ranking: #46</p> <p>Harding put some good film together from June which helped him boost his stock.  Crisp handling point guard that showed more athleticism than we had seen during his sophomore season.  Solid shooter that will be one of the better guards in the Quad Cities the next two seasons.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1215301" first="Camron" last="Williford"] (Hyde Park)</strong></p> <p>Previous Ranking: #86<br /> Current Ranking: #49</p> <p>Williford had a nice July with BC Elite where playing up against 17U competition the Hyde Park guard displayed great burst with the rock in his hands.  Got to the rim consistently and finished with acrobatics.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1215313" first="Rokas" last="Castillo"] &amp; [player_tooltip player_id="1279762" first="Matas" last="Castillo"] (Lemont)</strong></p> <p>Previous Ranking: #117 &amp; NR<br /> Current Ranking: #78 &amp; #79</p> <p>These twins from Lemont shined both with their high school team and for Full Package.  Point guards that play the game with a ton of flair with their electric passing, range on shot, and overall feel.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1279764" first="Max" last="Haack"] (Downers Grove North)</strong></p> <p>Previous Ranking: NR<br /> Current Ranking: #93</p> <p>Small college gem here with his ability to knock down shots at a high clip from the perimeter.  Showcased that during the month of June with DGN.</p>
