5’10 PG Tyrese Lacey Tyrese Lacey 5'10" | PG Layton Christian | 2023 State UT || Layton Christian Academy || 2023 ||
Tyrese can be classified as a PG that can pick you up full-court and make you work. Excited to see what he does this season because he should be playing a tougher schedule and LCA usually does a good job scheduling out of state competition, but in state he could be a player that will make that shot clock go down quickly with his defensive on ball presence. Tyrese can really create on offense and he is a draw two and make the right choice type of player.
6’0 PG Quentin Meza Quentin Meza 6'0" | PG Cyprus | 2023 State UT || Cyprus High School || 2023 ||
Quentin has proven everyone that has doubted him wrong as his size isn’t an issue because he can score against the best defenders on the country either breaking them down off the bounce or simply creating enough space to shoot from distance, he has a lot of tools in the bag as he can go fast and stop on a dime and hit those mid-range jumpers. Defensively many questioned who and how he can defend, well he can defend his tail off and he rebounds very well for a PG as well. A few D1’s are all over him. Quentin has a shot to really leave his mark at the state level with all of his scoring and stats this coming high school season. stay tuned because Quentin looks hungry.
6’2 PG Jaxson Roberts Jaxson Roberts 6'2" | PG Corner Canyon | 2023 State UT || Corner Canyon High School || 2023 ||
Look out as Jaxon has really made a big leap this summer as he is defending at a high level and he has good positional size and shake and bake ability. He has a few pieces coming back with him this next high school season and he can really be a player that flirts with triple-doubles all year because he rebounds well, he sees the floor well and he can score. Nice small school prospect and even a NJCAA type of player that can continue to work on his game.
6’1 PG Max Russo Max Russo 6'1" | PG Cottonwood | 2023 State UT || Cottonwood High School || 2023 ||
Not a common name you hear but you need to keep an eye out for what is building over at Cottonwood and Max is a PG that could really make an impact because the kid can really shoot the ball. Max when he gets the offense going he can really turn into an off the ball threat with that shooting ability. Teams looking for a PG that can shoot the ball max is a good player to look at. Max is a small school prospects.
6’1 PG Jaxon Smith Jaxon Smith 6'1" | PG Woods Cross | 2023 State UT || Woods Cross High School || 2023 ||
One of the biggest stock risers in the class as Jaxon has really transformed his game from a player that can shoot the ball to a player that can really run a team as a quality PG that can get it done. Jaxon has improved his passing and IQ through a lot of playing and training. Jaxon has been putting in work with his handle and creating ability. He is really at his best when he catches and shoots and keeps it simple.
