2022 Rankings Update: Floor Generals

<p>The class of 2022 has a ton of great guards, here are our choices for the best floor generals. Floor generals are point guards who stand out with their ability to be a leader for their team.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="759275" first="Quis" last="Davis"]- Denver East</strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="759275" first="Quis" last="Davis"] has made a name for himself from being a great vocal leader when on the court. Quis is great at setting the tempo for his team by bringing high energy and getting his teammates into the right spots. For a guard he has great athleticism and can score above the rim, he is good at finishing through contact and has even thrown down some big dunks on taller opponents. Quis is an exciting player to watch and one of the best unsigned seniors in Colorado.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="918901" first="Sam" last="Howery"]- Saint Mary’s</strong></p> <p>The CSU Pueblo commit is one of the most skilled and smooth guards we have gotten the chance to see in Colorado. Sam is a player who is an equal threat to score the ball as he is to pass to an open teammate. Sam had a crazy stat line his senior season putting up 26.6 points, 9.1 assists, 3.3 steals, and 8.6 rebounds per game. When watching Sam you can tell his basketball IQ is a level above most high school and club ball opponents he matched up with. When near the rim Sam likes to finish with old-school-style finger rolls and is great at making creative dish-off passes to teammates. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1284577" first="Brayden" last="Maldonado"]- Smoky Hill</strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1284577" first="Brayden" last="Maldonado"] is a great competitor who has that it factor on the court. Brayden can score from anywhere on the floor which makes him a very hard player to guard. From beyond the three-point line, he has a knockdown shot and good footwork which he can use to set up stepback jumpers. When going downhill Brayden is a crafty finisher, who uses euro steps and floaters often.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1047505" first="Remy" last="Wedgeworth"]- Overland</strong></p> <p>Remy is a guard with a sturdy frame who makes teams play at his pace. With the ball in his hands, he is calm and collected using his tight handle on the ball to keep the defender on their toes. Remy uses his eyes very well to mislead defenders either with pass fakes or dribble hesitations. He is a player who can shoot from three-point land and in the mid-range, in the mid-range he is very smooth.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="918905" first="Kijuan" last="Thompson"]- George Washington</strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="918905" first="Kijuan" last="Thompson"] is a player who just has that dawg mentality on the court. Kijuan is an ultra-competitor who brings that energy on both ends of the floor. The small guard is one of the best on-ball defenders in the ’22 class, he brings a ton of energy and effort making him a player you do not want guarding you. This year Kijuan looked much improved offensively, adding a consistent smooth pull-up mid-range jumper to his arsenal. </p>
