Here’s a look at the top SG’s in the 2024 class. This is a versatile group that’s going to get some attention moving forward. [player_tooltip player_id="1119253" first="Benjamin" last="Roseborough"] 6’4 of Sacramento HS. Roseborough has a college size body, and a good set of skills to be productive on a regular basis in spite of all the attention he attracts. He plays under control with good balance. The big guard uses his physical strengths to get to scoring spots. He gets his points in the flow of the offense, even though he has the green light, he has good shot selection and doesn’t force it too much. Good rise on the Mid-range, he makes the deep 3-pointer. He’s underrated as a defender. He has multiple DI offers. [player_tooltip player_id="1119270" first="Tyler" last="Thompson"] 6’5 of Vanden HS. Thompson is gradually becoming a consistent player. We recently saw him play a well balanced game where he made shots at a good rate. He’s a versatile player with improving skills. He was a bit more active on the defensive side of the ball, and going after rebounds. He has good length and moves well on the court. He’s getting in the paint for shots, and challenging shooters more. He can make a huge jump by knocking down his shots. [player_tooltip player_id="1256520" first="Ty" last="Virgil"] 6’4 of Modesto Christian HS. Virgil a long wiry prospect with a diverse skill set. He understands how to play the game, and is capable of playing more than one position. With that being said he’s a capable scorer, who can get buckets in a variety of ways; coming from different angles on the court. He has good length to finish around the basket, and 3-point range. Solid handles, an excellent passer, and can finish in transition. [player_tooltip player_id="1253212" first="Jordy" last="McKenzie"] 6’4 of Pinole Valley HS. McKenzie a long guard with handles to create scoring opportunities for himself on the wings, and in transition. He’s athletic, and determined to beat his man off the dribble. His mid-range shot looks good, and he has good foot speed to stay in front of his man on defense. He’ll go after rebounds. We could see his stock rise this season. [player_tooltip player_id="1253223" first="DeUndre" last="Perteete"] 6’5 of Skyline HS. A good athlete who handles the ball up top, and in the open court. He can initiate the offense. He has good vision, and solid passing. He can get his points attacking the paint from the wings, and baseline for strong finishes or pull-ups in the key. His mid-range jumper is good. He has the strength, and speed to guard on the perimeter and the post. He'll get his rebounds. He competed well in his age group on the EYBL Circuit. [player_tooltip player_id="1253241" first="Cole" last="Boake"] 6’3 of University HS. Boake is a good all around prospect. He gets after it on both ends of the court. He can play either guard spot when called upon. He’s your off guard who can score moving without the ball, cutting and slashing back door, spotting up on the perimeter. He comes off screens for jumpers, and can hit a 3 in transition.. He’s scrappy on the defensive side. He works hard staying in front of defenders, and will help on the boards. Boake is a competitor.
