<p>A bigger sized pure point guard is the top of the food chain facilitator. The lefty sees the court well and has a burst to get into the lane. He can shoot it from the perimeter and uses his size and length to defend. He signed with <strong>Saint Mary's</strong>. </p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A fast and athletic pure point guard with a tight handle. He has some flash and sizzle in his bag and has improved as a shooter each season.

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1168771' first='Nait' last='George'] <strong>Dream City Christian International </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p>Another shifty lead guard has more of a scoring attitude than some. He works well off the pick and roll game and will fire away. He grew an inch or so in the last year and it has helped him score in the paint. He can throw players open and he guided them in the CAA OPEN Chip. </p>
