The beginning of the spring AAU season could lead to more commitments coming in with 2022 prospects trying to secure their spots for next season. Here are the 2022 guard prospects who could come off the board next.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900329" first="Marcus" last="Pierce"], 6’2 CG Compass Prep</strong></p> <p>Pierce is a prospect to watch as he has the potential to make plays early in his collegiate career. The 6’2 guard is at his best attacking the basket as he can finish through contact and make circus shots through traffic. Pierce can do more than just finish around the rim as he can also score in the mid-range and hit open jumpers from the perimeter. He is a solid rebounder for a guard and has the potential to run the offense. Pierce is not playing for an AAU team this spring, meaning he could be closer to a decision for next year.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="901978" first="Quadir" last="Harrell"], 5’10 PG Bound Brook</strong></p> <p>Harrell had an illustrious career at Bound Brook as he left as the school’s all-time leading scorer. The 5’10 guard has a quick first step, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and finish around the basket. Harrell also has a good shooting stroke and can get hot from distance in a hurry. He knows how to get his teammates involved in the half court and works hard on the defensive end. Harrell is a game who does whatever it takes to help his team win, which should help him at the next level.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1394460" first="Nicky" last="Crane"], 6’2 SG Ridgewood</strong></p> <p>Crane had a big senior season for Ridgewood as he helped them take home a sectional title. The 6’2 guard is a solid finisher around the basket and does not mind contact. Crane is also capable of scoring in the mid-range and shoots the ball with confidence from behind the arc. He is an underrated defender and moves well off the ball. Crane is a hard-working guard prospect who does the little things to help his team win.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1396175" first="Jahmir" last="Tyrell"], 6’3 SG Pioneer Academy</strong></p> <p>Tyrell is a prospect to keep an eye on as he has a ton of potential. The 6’3 guard is a big-time athlete who finishes easily above the rim and skies for rebounds on both ends. Tyrell has a solid handle, which he uses to get into the lane. He has the length and athleticism to defend multiple positions and is an underrated passer. Tyrell’s athleticism combined with his ability to defend on the wing is something that will help his stock in a big way.</p> <p><strong>Jaylen Boyd-Savage, 6’3 CG Olympus Prep</strong></p> <p>Boyd-Savage is an intriguing prospect as he can impact the game in a variety of ways. The 6’3 guard attacks the basket with a purpose as he finishes strong through the basket and can hit tough shots in traffic. Boyd-Savage can also knock down jumpers behind the arc as he has a solid release on his jumper and sets his feet before he shoots. He is a tough on-ball defender and can defend both backcourt spots. Boyd-Savage is a tough, two-way guard whose ability to defend on the perimeter will help his ability to play early minutes at the next level.</p>
