<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2023 rankings are out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We dive into the positional rankings. We now look at the shooting guards for the senior class.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Here are the top-8 SG's in the 2023 class:&nbsp;</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='814526' first='Ashton' last='Reese'] <strong>Pinnacle </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger off guard catches and shoots better then most in state. He is athletic and he is best at the one-dribble pull-up off the dribble. His three point catch is his college weapon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='831118' first='Emery' last='Young'] <strong>Centennial </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another tough off guard that is very well rounded. He is handling the ball a little more and can create a little but he is best catching and shooting from the perimeter. He is the top rebounder on the list and checks many boxes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='973813' first='Jayson' last='Petty'] <strong>Phhoenix Prep </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scoring guard that has steadily improved each season. He is best off the catch from mid to the three point line but can straight line drive in traffic. He has turned into the classic 3 and D with his length and toughness. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1216716' first='Harrison' last='Reede'] <strong>Phhoenix Prep (Pictured) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top standstill shooters in the class. He sets his feet and squares to the basket quickly to be ready to fire away. He has range and when he gets hot, he can rattle them off. He gives hard shot fakes and likes the one dribble pull-up. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='814505' first='Zach' last='Anderson'] <strong>Desert Mountain</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the better catch three point shooters in the group. He should lead this team to the playoffs and take on more of that leadership role plus makes shots and defend. He seems more confident and look for a big season from Anderson. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1390041' first='Sedrick' last='Nari'] <strong>Skyline Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic scoring guard is a stud on the break. He can play above the rim and defend multiple positions. He rebounds well for position and is more then a capable three point shooter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='814531' first='Adonis' last='Thomas'] <strong>Ironwood </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger shooting guard who can play on the ball some too. He can shoot it easily to the three and make plays for his teammates. He can finish in the paint with his size and defends on the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1138592' first='Aiden' last='Price'] <strong>Mountain Pointe </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A strong lefty scoring guard is tough defensively and makes shots. He loves the mid-range pull-up off the dribble. He gets high elevation and has a compact stroke. He could be one of the breakout players this season in 5A. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
