<p><strong>Longhorn 5-Star Classic Top Guards Pt. 2</strong></p>
<p><strong>2022 6-3 SG [player_tooltip player_id="1223215" first="Alahn" last="Sumler"] – Buford</strong></p>
<p>Even in the loss, [player_tooltip player_id="1223215" first="Alahn" last="Sumler"] was efficient. One of the best stock risers in Georgia, the accurate shooter with an all-around floor game gave Etowah issues. Sumler went 7-12 from the floor and 4-7 from the three-point line for 18 points to go with his 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. Sumler makes the game look easy. He plays at his own pace and scores with balance when defenders are draped over him. High level D-II programs should be hot after him while D-I schools should take a good long look.</p>
<p><strong>2022 6-3 CG [player_tooltip player_id="1036789" first="Kyle" last="Burns"] – Wheeler</strong></p>
<p>The Radford-signee was steady throughout for Wheeler, giving the Wildcats a second scoring option in the backcourt against Newton. Burns scored four of his 16 points in overtime and added 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. He’s a good shooter with quality size. Burns has wiggle when getting downhill and doesn’t force the issue. He went 6-10 from the floor.</p>
<p><strong>2023 6-2 SG [player_tooltip player_id="1045878" first="MJ" last="Whitlock"] – Newton</strong></p>
<p>The bouncy guard came up big, producing 19 points and 8 rebounds while [player_tooltip player_id="1059025" first="Jakai" last="Newton"] sat out the game. Whitlock is a dangerous three-point shooter that can make a home in the corners. He’s a very good offensive rebounder for his size with electric second leap ability. His athleticism helps him defend at a high level.</p>
<p><strong>2022 6-3 CG [player_tooltip player_id="870151" first="Chase" last="Cormier"] – Milton</strong></p>
<p>The Northeastern-signee hit a pair of threes and scored 14 points on 9 shots. He has a lighting quick effortless release that is in the air as soon as he catches.</p>
<p><strong>2024 6-2 PG [player_tooltip player_id="1131777" first="Jeremiah" last="Wilkinson"] – Hillgrove</strong></p>
<p>Wilkinson didn’t do much of his scoring till the fourth quarter, but did help influence the game with his playmaking and court vision. The sophomore posted 10 points and 5 assists, scoring on a pair of pull-ups and two drives.</p>
