<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Who are the top remaining guards in the feisty, talent-rich division?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1261388"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63eedb7016716"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1261388' first='Nick' last='Smith']</strong> (pictured above) is a speedy left-handed scorer. Decent mid-range. Bouncy. Good second-leaper.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1028859"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63eedb7016777"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Dennis Lewis Jr.</strong> (Brainerd) plays with the poise that you want when competing in the tense, frenetic post-season battles. The lefty shoots or passes at a top level. Importantly, Lewis Jr. rarely forces a shot and understands where his teammates each need the basketball to be successful. Then, he gets it there. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1385937' first='Jordan' last='Allen']</strong> (Hillcrest) is one of the Mr. Basketball Finalists, alongside [player_tooltip player_id='992497' first='Jaylen' last='Jones'] and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1121414' first='Jahvin' last='Carter']</strong>. Jones was featured in Part I of this series. [player_tooltip player_id='1385937' first='Jordan' last='Allen'] averaged 20.2 ppg, and found most of his success in the mid-range or at the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1259399' first='Ty' last='Glasper']</strong> (Gatlinburg-Pittman) is, from my vantage point, the most deserving of Mr. Basketball Finalist outside of those three named.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1416525' first='Doyel' last='Cockrill III']</strong> (Pearl-Cohn) buried 61 three's already, and the Firebirds will need plenty more to best East Nashville, a team they are almost certain to meet again.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1317550' first='Grayson' last='Burleson'] </strong>(Summertown) made a ridiculous 207 field goals this year. The baby Burleson is the best scorer of the family, starting since his freshman year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lucas Clanton</strong> (Cascade) is averaging 18.8 ppg. He is a decent rebounder from the guard position (4 rpg) and provides a reliable outside threat (44 3's).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/LucasClanton12/status/1618418072918056961?s=20","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/LucasClanton12/status/1618418072918056961?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
