PrepHoops Top 250 Expo: Top Playmakers

<p>We continue our look at the top performers from Sunday’s PrepHoops Top 250 Expo and there were several guys in attendance that were able to show plenty of floor leadership with their playmaking. Here’s a look at some of the top ones we saw.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="861087" first="Esyah" last="Pippa-White"] (2023 Gresham)</strong> - To be honest, Pippa-White could have scored pretty much anytime he wanted to on Sunday. Instead he balanced it out by also looking to get the ball to his teammates and in particular, dished out some really nice dimes in transition.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="861096" first="Kavon" last="Bradford"] (2023 Benson)</strong> - Bradford has always been a scorer so he’s been working on being more of a point guard. That was on display at the event as he was often looking to set up guys for their shots. In particular, he would often grab the defensive rebound and immediately toss the ball upcourt to a streaking teammate for a score.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="964539" first="Julian" last="Mora"] (2022 Summit)</strong> - Mora pushed the ball relentlessly up the floor as he always does but didn’t just do this for himself. He often would look to pass to a teammate for a score and this helped him rack up a number of impressive assists on the day.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="857369" first="Forrest" last="Reyes"] (2022 Clackamas)</strong> - Reyes set the stage with his hustle. The senior point guard hit his share of open jumpers but also looked to drive and kick to the numerous perimeter shooters on his squad. Reyes will be playing his senior season at Clackamas and should be a key guy there.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1110568" first="Vashon" last="Hardges"] (2024 Grant)</strong> - As we’ve come to appreciate, Hardges played hard on both ends. His shot wasn’t falling early in the day, so he focused on getting his teammates involved. Then even when it started to drop, he still looked for the open man in addition to his own offense.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1315398" first="Nathan" last="Perkins-Fuesser"] (2022 Benson)</strong> - Perkins-Fuesser was very shifty with his dribble as he looked to create for himself and his teammates. He continually kept defenders off balance all day long. Benson is guard heavy but Perkins-Fuesser will be in the rotation.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1110914" first="Carter" last="Fortune"] (2024 Southridge)</strong> - We didn’t get a chance to see Fortune as much this time around, but we are familiar with what the 6-foot-2 sophomore can do and that’s get to the basket. So when we did catch him in action, that’s exactly what he was doing well.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1315361" first="Trent" last="Anderson"] (2022 Grants Pass)</strong> - This was the first time we’ve seen Anderson play and while it was only a snapshot, we liked the energy he brought on the floor. The senior appeared to be a pass-first point guard and he did a good job of handling the ball.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="861093" first="Jamel" last="Pichon"] (2023 Cleveland)</strong> - Pichon is a physical lead guard who really got into the lane and created off of the dribble. The junior did well in the drive and kick and also made some good choices on the break.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1315367" first="Orion" last="Lee"] (2025 Canby)</strong> - Lee didn’t get to touch the ball a ton but when he did, the freshman took good care of the ball and looked to get it to his high-scoring teammates.</p>
