Gauntlet on the Gulf: 15U Day 2 Top Guards Pt. 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 6-0 PG [player_tooltip player_id='1946206' first='Justis' last='Clements'] – OTOD<br></strong>I loved Clements' activity in the backcourt. He fills up the stat sheet using his long arms and keen instincts, especially on defense. He routinely converted turnovers into transition points. He did a bulk of his scoring on drives but also nailed a three. Clements finished with 17 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 6 steals and 3 blocks in a 70-55 win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 5-7 PG Ronald Clark – OTOD<br></strong>Clark has a playmaker feel about him. He's hard to stay in front of and is another pesky defender. Though he is on the smaller side, he is a capable rebounder that can ignite his own fastbreaks. Ronald tallied 15 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 5-8 G [player_tooltip player_id='2466739' first='Alexander' last='Brown'] – OTOD<br></strong>I was stunned to see Brown listed at just 5-foot-8. He's got a strong frame and plays so much bigger than his size. He's a terrific glue guy, a guard that can really help out in all facets. He throws his weight around on the glass and has a nose for the ball defensively. Alex drew fouls when attacking the rim, going 6-8 from the line. Brown posted 13 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 7 steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 5-10 G [player_tooltip player_id='1633135' first='Shamar' last='Gibbs'] – Camden Elite<br></strong>Gibbs plays hard. He got going early on by crashing the offensive glass. Shamar ended up scoring on three putbacks and two steals. In total, Gibbs netted 22 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 steals, all 10 of his field goals coming in the painted area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 5-7 G Vinny Carbonara – [program_tooltip program_id='2076721' first='Florida' last='Elite'] SW<br></strong>After a sharpshooting Night 1, Vinny quickly caught fire in a 61-59 victory over SWFL Hoops. Carbonara cashed in on three more threes and looked good off the dribble, sneaky crafty, able to get to his floater while serving up nice assists. Vinny finished with 24 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 5-10 PG [player_tooltip player_id='2299666' first='Ashton' last='Peterson'] – SWFL Hoops<br></strong>I really like Ashton's game. Peterson is a true point guard. He is creative with the ball, using slick moves to get to his spots. He changes speeds well and plays with balance as he pro hops into the teeth of the defense to get to his pull-up. Ashton has a crafty style of finishing and is a very good passer in tight spaces on drives. Peterson posted 16 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
