Prep Hoops Live: Impactful Guards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Which guards impressed at Prep Hoops Live in Minnesota?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1418511' first='Drew' last='Daoust'] -- PG -- [program_tooltip program_id='2076029' first='Wisconsin' last='Crusaders']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It seems as if Daoust gets better each time that he plays. I really love how versatile the [program_tooltip program_id='2076029' first='Wisconsin' last='Crusaders'] point guard is, particularly on the offensive end of the court. He is an efficient three-point shooter, solid in the midrange, effective at the rim, and excellent as a passer. In terms of skills on the offensive end, Daoust is the real deal. Expect college programs to take notice of Daoust's talent this summer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1203035' first='Quinn' last='Burns'] -- PG -- [program_tooltip program_id='2078838' first='World' last='Hoops Elite']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>So far this spring, Burns has proven himself as one of the best guards in Wisconsin. The point guard won't wow with any of his physical attributes, Burns passes the eye test. He is an incredible shooter and passer. As a floor general, Burns is able to get his teammates involved while also scoring at a high level. He consistently makes smart basketball plays. Whatever the defense is giving, Burns is willing to take. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2103397' first='Cody' last='Stapel'] -- SG -- [program_tooltip program_id='2075674' first='Minnesota' last='Heat']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stapel proved that he was made for the big moment on Sunday morning. In a hard-fought victory for [program_tooltip program_id='2075674' first='Minnesota' last='Heat'], Stapel hit big shot after big shot. With time winding down in overtime, Stapel hit a go-ahead three-pointer that eventually gave his team the win. With Stapel on the court, opposing defenders must be on their A-game. If not, the SG will tally buckets in a hurry. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1289073' first='Keegan' last='Van Kauwenberg'] -- SG -- [program_tooltip program_id='2076029' first='Wisconsin' last='Crusaders']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If Van Kauwenberg continues to improve, the [program_tooltip program_id='2076029' first='Wisconsin' last='Crusaders'] shooting guard could develop into a great prospect at the college level. He is such an effective three-level scorer. He has good positional size, which he uses to elevate and score over smaller defenders. As a spot-up shooter, the SG is also very effective. He has a quick release and smooth form. I really liked what Van Kauwenberg was able to do this past weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1200576' first='Mikail' last='Harmison'] -- SG -- [program_tooltip program_id='2078394' first='Team' last='1848']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While he is currently listed as a small forward. at the college level, I see Harmison as more of a two-guard. The [program_tooltip program_id='2078394' first='Team' last='1848'] prospect had a very productive weekend in Minnesota. He scored and defended at a very high level. If he finds himself in the right situation, I see Harmison being very impactful at the college level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1638427' first='Michael' last='Cooper'] -- SG -- Team Teague </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Man, Cooper was really, really good this weekend. I knew that The Team Teague shooting guard was a very talented scorer. But I didn't know that he was <em>this </em>good. It didn't matter who attempted to guard Cooper in Minnesota, chances were the shooting guard was going to get a bucket. He scores so effortlessly from all three levels. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
