More New Names (Small School STL Guards)
<p>Prep Hoops Missouri takes a look another group of new names of players who are putting in work under the radar. This is group of players from St. Louis who play at smaller schools in the city.</p>
<p>Anthony Caldwell, Jr. (Lift for Life): A 2022 lefty guard who has good quickness and perimeter shooting ability. He has made it a habit of hitting big 3-pointers at the key parts of games. He is currently averaging a team-high 12.9 points a game while shooting 50 percent from 3-point range. He has been on a good surge last week as he averaged 18 points a game at the Rotating 8 Tournament at Clayton.</p>
<p>Derryl Howard (McKinley): A 6'0" combo guard who has a smooth offensive skill set. He has a nice stroke from 3-point range with a quick release off the catch. He can create offense off the dribble and he can move well without the ball to get his shots off. He also plays solid on-ball defense on the perimeter.</p>
<p>Amari Foluke (Metro): A 6'1" 2023 guard who is one of the top scorers in the St. Louis metro area. He is averaged 24.2 points a game to go along with two assists and three steals a game. He has eclipsed the 30-point plateau three times during the season.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1161991" first="Demetrio" last="Barlow"] (KIPP): A 6'2" 2022 guard who I watched during the summer season and was impressed with his offensive skills. That has carried over into a very productive senior season. He is currently averaging 15.8 points, five rebounds, three assists and two steals a game.</p>
<p>Ian Thornton (Brentwood): A 5'11" 2023 guard who has been putting up some big numbers for the past two seasons for the Eagles. He averaged 21 points a game as a sophomore and he has increased that to 27.3 points a game as a junior while also shooting 46 percent from 3-point range.</p>
