<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Some talented guards were on display at The 5th Annual I Have A Dream MLK Challenge hosted by Marcus Mcgee Basketball; here are a few of the standout guards…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1757625,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/PH-Kevin-D.-Moore-II-C.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/PH-Kevin-D.-Moore-II-C.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1757625" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Kevin D. Moore II</strong> (6'1/CG/‘24/Dillard HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: 2.kevmoore</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @KM2ll</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Kevin is a high-energy guard that lays it all out on both ends of the floor. He showed that he can score the rock, but he raises his intensity level on the defensive end of the floor. He was a primary ball-handler that set the table for his teammates and distributed the rock around. Kevin does a good job of reading the floor and making sure the ball gets into the right hands each possession. He provides heady play, orchestrating on offense, and lock down D. Kevin has a way of elevating the play of his teammates, and he was impressive leading his squad.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:quote {"textColor":"primary","fontSize":"medium"} --> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote has-primary-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size"><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kevin is a high-energy guard that lays it all out on both ends of the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --><cite>Terry J.

He handled the rock well and stayed getting two feet in the paint off the bounce. He often was attacking off the bounce, collapsing the D, and finding open teammates. His ability to drive and kick created practice shots for his shooters around the arc. His coach has given him the freedom to work, and Isaac shows his appreciation by being a solid playmaker for Chaminade. He has a quick first step that keeps defenders on their heels, and his vision, coupled with his passing ability, makes him a tough cover when he is in playmaking mode. He makes the most of what the defense gives him, and he takes advantage of any mishap that happens with a defense, such as missed assignments or missed rotations. He is going to be an intriguing player to watch over the next two years.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/TDrakeBasktball/status/1615080977289674770","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/TDrakeBasktball/status/1615080977289674770 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1757628,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/PH-Christian-Maxon-C.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/PH-Christian-Maxon-C.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1757628" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1301752' first='Christian' last='Maxon']</strong> (6'2/SG/‘25/Fort Pierce Central HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: _christianmaxon</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @MaxonTwins</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">As Day 2 was winding down, the talk around the gym was about the Maxon twins, that were set to play on Day 3. Well, they did not disappoint, as both played exceptionally well. Christian is a listed SG, but it is safe to say that he has the ability to move between the lead guard and the off-guard spots, as he showed during the game. However, he did facilitate the offense with great efficiency. He is a reliable and heady ball-handler with tools that warrant trust at the PG spot. He was efficient with his outside shooting, even though he did not take many shots. He has deep range, which demands defenders to extend their defense, leaving lanes and gaps vulnerable. Christian also got his teammates involved and distributed the rock making everyone happy with their touches. There wasn't much flash surrounding his game, but he was highly productive.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/MMcGeeBball/status/1570130976482656257","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/MMcGeeBball/status/1570130976482656257 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1757629,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/PH-David-Delancy-IV-C.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/PH-David-Delancy-IV-C.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1757629" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='709229' first='David' last='Delancy'] IV</strong> (6'5/CG/‘23/Somerset Academy Pines) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: daviddelancyiv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @DavidDelancyIV</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">David is a lengthy guard that excels when getting downhill off the bounce. He is a sturdy guard who can get to his spots, score, get to the cup, and finish. His length is a factor, as many guards he is competing with cannot match it. He uses his strength and size well and has enough athleticism to be a prospect that some colleges would benefit from at the next level. Along with his ability to attack off the bounce, he showed that he could make the trey ball. He has a few more months to increase his stock.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/GoodLifeBoss/status/1614660333460721666","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/GoodLifeBoss/status/1614660333460721666 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1757631,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/PH-Alex-Pierre-Louis-C.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/PH-Alex-Pierre-Louis-C.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1757631" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Alex Pierre-Louis</strong> (6'4/PG/‘25/Coral Springs HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: Bigbaby.alex</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @Pierre_louis21</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Alex is a PG with good positional size who made his initial impression on the defensive end of the floor. He is very instinctive and plays the passing lanes well. He has quick and active hands that create deflections and steals. He doesn't mind putting in work on defense, sitting down, and locking up. He turns defense into offense, and as you can imagine, he is often in transition as a result of the steals and deflections, and when he is in the open court, he was finishing above the rim. With his physicality and defensive intensity, he is a young prospect that is increasing his stock.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/pierre_louis21/status/1609326131752075268","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/pierre_louis21/status/1609326131752075268 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1757632,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/PH-Caleb-Krivitzkin-C.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/PH-Caleb-Krivitzkin-C.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1757632" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1163355' first='Caleb' last='Krivitzkin'] </strong>(6'0/PG/‘24/Cypress Bay HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: C.j_krivitzkin</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @Cjkrivitzkin</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Caleb is a lefty PG with a brilliant floor game. He is lightning quick off the bounce, and defenders had a hard time trying to stay in front of him. He has a great change of speed attack and slick ball-handling skills. At this stage of his game, Caleb's offense is all upside, yet most of it is still embryonic. He can get anywhere he wants to go, and because he is so quick, he is a lot to contend with one on one. He has a very good isolation game, which is loaded with quirks to keep defenders from anticipating where he'll go next, leaving them at his mercy, waiting to see if he is creating for himself or his teammates. Cypress Bay has to feel good with Caleb at the lead guard spot.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/CBboyHoops/status/1480899163818762240","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/CBboyHoops/status/1480899163818762240 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1757633,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/PH-Jhalen-Phang-C.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/PH-Jhalen-Phang-C.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1757633" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Jhalen Phang</strong> (6'1/PG/'23/Stoneman Douglas) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: Fl.jayy15</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @Jhalen.Phang</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jhalen had a performance you would expect from a senior PG and leader on the court. He has off-the-dribble ingenuity and is a terrific playmaker with the rock in his hands. He generates good looks for his teammates as his dribble penetration forces help, leaving shooters open around the arc. With his ability to score at multiple levels, his production forces opponents to make adjustments when it comes to defending him. It is hard to slow him down as he is able to make tough shots and create easy ones. He is a reliable ball-handler and can get his team into their offensive gameplan. JP has a true perimeter game that makes others around him better, and his balance between facilitating and scoring makes his team overall better.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JPGLOBAL12/status/1593295740939505664","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JPGLOBAL12/status/1593295740939505664 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
