<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2024 rankings are out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We dive into the positional rankings. We now look at the shooting guards for the junior class.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Here are the top-8 SG's in the 2024 class:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1123040" first="Anthony" last="Batson Jr"] <strong>Notre Dame Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top scoring wings in the AIA plays on both sides of the court. He flies on the break above the rim and protects the rim unusually well blocking shots at its highest point with his bounce and huge wingspan. He makes threes and straight line drives. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="814525" first="KJ" last="Perry"] <strong>Phhoenix Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A super athletic off guard has re-classified to 2024. His mid-range has become his weapon and is an obvious star in transition. He has incredible speed and lateral quickness to be a lock down defender in college. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1275052" first="Noah" last="Sowunmi"] <strong>Paradise Valley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic guard is one of the position-less players in the AIA. He plays and defends at least three positions but the two-guard seems to fit him best. He scores it from all levels and can handle the ball well to make plays. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1306025' first='Mason' last='Hunt'] <strong>Bradshaw Mountain</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A good sized scorer from all levels. His size allows him to post up, score through contact and shoots it. The more you watch him, you appreciate all the little things he does to affect a win from rebounding, defending and scoring. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1340752" first="Alex" last="Wells"] <strong>Phhoenix Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the late bloomers on the list is another re-class. He was slowly improving from Eastmark and took a big jump this off season. He is a little lean but extremely athletic and comes with length. He gets downhill and will get hot from the perimeter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1127080" first="Nazir" last="Davis"] <strong>Hamilton </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic scoring guard had a good summer. He flies on the break and he will defend multiple positions. He made shots from the perimeter more consistently and is a terror on the break. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1306002" first="Nick" last="Sanford"] <strong>Brophy Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A sturdy framed shooter with some toughness. He has been firing away all off season from beyond the stripe. He can hit shots from the perimeter and take it to the rack. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1135515" first="Noah" last="Gifft"] <strong>Ironwood </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The top standstill shooter in the class. He squares up flawlessly like you should and is always in ready shot mode. He gets it off quickly and can get hot in a blink of an eye. He has strong shot fakes and can do the one-dribble pull-up. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
