<p>The Prep Hoops Top 250 Expo featured a lot of top players at every position. In this article we will focus on some of the 2024-2025 Guards. There’s a lot of explosion, hot shooting and ball handling in this list. These guards displayed all those traits at the Top 250 Expo.</p>

<p>Davis and the lane built a strong relationship at the Top 250 Expo. Every time I looked Davis was in the lane finishing with the right or left hand. He showed off a great handle that got him to the basket at will. Active on virtually every play, Davis was at the Top 250 Expo for business and business only. Playing scrappy defense that led not only to turnovers but break away layups for himself and his teammates. Davis has a strong upper body, I loved how he finished around the rim through contact getting numerous And 1 opportunities.</p>

<p>Sais is a flat-out shooter. As soon as I walked over to his court, he was releasing a deep three that hit the bottom of the net. Some people can shoot, and some people are pure shooters. He’s both! What impressed me the most about Sais was his ability to be affective with his size. Younger than many of the players participating and smaller than many of the opponents he’s defending. None of that stopped Sais from making his imprint on the game. My closing moments of Sais was him pulling up from three in </p>

<p>Robinson impressed me with his feel for the game. He took great shots and did everything needed to help his team secure a win. He was a physical rebounder, which helped his team get out on the break early. In the half court he didn’t rush anything, he took his time and made the right play. Whether that was him knocking down a three with his picture-perfect form or hitting a cutter as they flashed before his eyes. There was a particular play where Robinson flashed across the lane. His teammate hit him with a great pass, but Robinson had eyes behind his head. As the defense rotated to defend him Robinson hit his teammate with a no look over the shoulder bullet pass for the easy lay in. Robinson then followed that with a corner three that hit nothing but net. That was the type of energy Robinson was spreading all over the floor.</p>

<p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/09/10-Jalen-RaShad-Robinson.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1294698" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/09/10-Jalen-RaShad-Robinson-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Small in stature, big in heart, Robinson was attacking off the dribble with an array of moves that led to And 1 finishes, drive a kicks to his shooters or just a solid trip to the charity stripe for two. Robinson didn’t take it easy on the defensive either, mounting up multiple steals each contest. Robinson displayed pure point guard skills at the Top 250 Expo. Running the show, controlling the tempo and doing his best in a camp setting to get his team a great shot. Robinson impressed me with his ability to dominate with his left hand. A play that was very notable to me, Robinson caught the ball in the right corner, attacked hard to the middle of the floor to send a bullet left hand pass (he’s a right-handed player) to one of his shooters that just hit two in a row. Loved the way he ran the point guard position out there.</p>

<p>Barnett impressed me with his court vision and his ability to finish over much larger players at his size. Probably the smallest player at the Top 250 Expo Barnett played much larger than his size. He could not be left open, or he would knock down the three ball. Running out there with an out of control close out would lead to his nice pull up jumper. Barnett drove the left side of the lane and finished over three defenders as they all ran over to swat his shot. Barnett is a fierce competitor, I watched him in between games checking out his opponent getting himself ready for action.</p>
