EXOS Top 50 Showcase: 2023 Guards

<p>I traveled to the EXOS Showcase that happened in Frisco and got detailed notes on all of the men in attendance. These are the top 2023 guards in attendance that got some hands-on experience with college coaches, college players, and former WNBA players in attendance. Be on the lookout for the rest of my coverage from this event!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1295872" first="RICHARD" last="LEMBOYE"] 2023 Guard 6’3 Summit High School (Mansfield, TX)</p> <p>Richard is an impressive point guard with a real ability to create space for himself and shots for his teammates. He is a real wizard with the basketball and seemed to routinely beat defenders off the dribble and get to his spots. He attacks the rim with aggression and has great explosion when he is jumping towards the rim. He is a patient finisher in the paint and manipulates the defense well with the basketball. I would like to see him work on his ability to finish with his off-hand at the rim. Lemboye was a standout forward at the EXOS Showcase and got the award for best combo guard in attendance, voted on by college coaches, college basketball players, and retired WNBA players.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="957938" first="Dylon" last="Richardson"] 2023 Guard 6’2 Hutto High School (Texas)</p> <p>Dylon is an elite offensive weapon with the ability to affect the game at all three levels. He is a sniper when he gets an opportunity to set his feet. I was really impressed by his off-ball movement and how he always seemed to be ready to catch and shoot quickly. He knocked down shots from all around the arc and forced the defense to contest him hard. He showed an ability to put the ball on the floor and get to the rim. He finished with ease at the rim and showed off some impressive up and under through traffic. Richardson was a standout guard at the EXOS Showcase and got the award for the best shooting guard in attendance, voted on by college coaches, college basketball players, and retired WNBA players.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="959231" first="Sterling" last="Butler"] 2023 Guard 5’9 Mansfield High School (Texas)</p> <p>Sterling is a coach’s dream for an undersized point guard. He is a true on the court leader and created a plethora of open looks for his teammates. He is quick and thrives at beating defenders off the dribble and getting into the lane. He showed an ability to finish at the rim against any defender no matter their size. His legs are very strong, and he seems to explode to the rim. He is agile and seems to zip all around the court and wreak havoc. He is also a capable shooter off the bounce from all three levels. This combination of skills makes him a strong offensive weapon. I would like to see him work on his ability to control the tempo over the game and work on not getting sped up into bad looks.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1212826" first="David" last="Terrell"] 2023 Guard 6’4 Summit High School (Mansfield, Texas)</p> <p>David is a fantastic combo guard with elite vision and the ability to create for his teammates. Whether he was passing the ball up the court or throwing lobs to his wings, Terrell made sure everyone was involved on the offensive side of the floor. I was blown away by his ability to get downhill and make the right reads and kick out passes while attacking the paint. He forced the defense to collapse and routinely made the best decision. He is a strong rebounder for the guard position and loves to go coast to coast. He is fearless against bigger defenders and finishes well at the rim. His length allows him to be an effective defender and pick up guards and wings with ease.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="967382" first="Trenden" last="Collins"] 2023 Guard 6’1 Muldrow High School (Oklahoma)</p> <p>Trenden has all the tools of being an elite point guard, he has a lightning-quick cross over and his ability to create open shots for his teammates set him apart. He threw a couple of lob passes on the fast break that got the entire gym hype. His passes always seemed to be right in his shooter’s pockets as he set them up well. I would like to see him work on his foot speed.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Check out my highlights from the event!</p> <p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fi0EDJSBox0</p>
