Here’s a look at the PH NorCal top 2023 Combo Guards. [player_tooltip player_id="1253094" first="BJ" last="Davis"] 6’2 of Modesto Christian HS Davis is one of the fastest rising prospects in this NorCal class. The work he has done in the past 3 or 4 months says it all. Here at PH we’ve been saying for a while; his play makes others around him better. He’s a versatile player that effects the game in different ways. He's a scoring threat with the ball in his possession. He'll facilitates when called upon, and he’s a top notch defender. He has DI offers. [player_tooltip player_id="1114866" first="Reid" last="Jones"] 6’2 of Jesuit HS. Jones is a heady guard that performs at either guard spot. He has good court vision, and passing skills, whether he’s in the half court or leading the break in transition he'll get the pass there. He’s a versatile player that can slide into the off guard position, and be effective with his perimeter shooting. He's good on the catch and shoot from behind the 3-point line, and challenge defenders with the dribble. [player_tooltip player_id="1255641" first="Leon" last="Mills"] 6’1 of Edison, Stockton, CA. Mills is ready for a breakout season. The versatile guard is fearless on the attack. He can handle the contact, and challenge the bigs in the paint. His handles are tight, with good speed and vision to make the pass going up the court. He fills the lanes in transition where he's most likely going to get a bucket one way or the other. He’ll be watched closely this season. [player_tooltip player_id="1116236" first="Jayden" last="Teat"] 6’2 of Jesuit HS. Teat is a must see player, he has the necessary tools a player needs to effect the game. He likes to play at a fast pace, but has the know how, to be successful running the point position. He’s a better fit at the off guard spot right now as he looks to score when he has the ball. His quickness gets him where he wants to go. A quick release on his jumper, his 3’s go down. He's a slasher and a cutter without the ball. [player_tooltip player_id="1254105" first="Drew" last="Dorwin"] 6’1 of Half Moon Bay HS. Dorwin is used to playing off the ball, last season he knew if he ran the court, moved without the ball he would get a pass from his pass first point guard. He knows how to spot up, and get a bucket, 11.4 in 25 games. This season he’ll spend time up top running the teams offense. He’s a smart player, he’ll adjust. His handles are tight and he sees the court well. [player_tooltip player_id="950919" first="Jermaine" last="Haliburton"] 6’0 of Inderkum HS. A smooth lefty who can get a bucket. He has good fundamental skills. He has good flow to his game, using a nice dribble drive pull-up jumper at mid-range. He has good court vision, and show good patience running half court sets. [player_tooltip player_id="1255850" first="David" last="Young"] 6’3 of Folsom HS. Young is an intriguing player, he might be a combo, as in guard/forward. He’s grown a few inches and getting stronger. Young is showing sign of being a good all around player on the court. He passes well, moves without the ball, and he can hit the mid-range jumper in the short corner. He has a solid body to defend bigger players and he's a good rebounder. [player_tooltip player_id="1255824" first="Benji" last="Njomo"] 6’4 of Lincoln HS. A bit on the raw side of combo guard, but has good upside if he puts in the work at the position. He’s a big guard with decent handles, and passing skills. He has good balance, and hard to stop when he gets going towards the basket. He takes it up strong, and is a good rebounding guard at 6’4. He makes his set shot 3-pointer. He can play inside as well.
