Under the Radar Guards Who Could Have Big Weekends

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Memorial Day Weekend is coming up and teams are looking to make deep runs this weekend. Guards are key to winning basketball games and they should make an impact this weekend. Here are the under the radar guards who could have big weekends.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1464420' first='Matt' last='Schwartz'], 6'3 SG Hunterdon Central 2024</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Schwartz has the potential to make a big impact this coming weekend with his ability to make plays on the perimeter. The 6'3 guard has a smooth shooting stroke and can knock down jumpers in bunches from behind the arc. Schwartz is more than just a shooter as he can also put the ball on the floor and finish around the basket. He is a solid rebounder and is an underrated defender. Schwartz's ability to knock down triples from distance is something that will help his stock in a big way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1434616' first='Evan' last='Colao'], 5'10 PG Madison 2025</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Colao is ready to make some noise this weekend with his ability to run the offense. The 5'10 guard has a good handle, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and finish around the rim. Colao sets his feet before he shoots and can also score in the mid-range. He gets his teammates involved in the halfcourt and moves his feet on the defensive end. Colao is a tough guard prospect who does whatever it takes to win games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1788757' first='Justin' last='Bethea'], 5'11 CG Paterson Eastside 2026</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bethea is a guard prospect to track this summer with his ability to play on or off the ball. The 5'11 guard has a good release on his jumper and rarely forces jumpers in the half court. Bethea moves well without the ball in his hands, setting himself up for easy layups and jumpers. He has an underrated handle and can get deflections on the defensive end. Bethea is a two-way guard prospect who should make plays over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1557105' first='Jianni' last='Moran'], 5'9 PG Fair Lawn 2024</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moran is an interesting guard prospect as he affects the offense in multiple ways. The 5'9 guard attacks the basket with a purpose as he is a strong finisher around the rim and is unafraid of drawing contact. Moran is a solid passer and shoots the ball with confidence from distance. He pushes the tempo well in transition and is an underrated defender. Moran is a scoring lead guard prospect who should put up big number this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1412111' first='Brian' last='Tassey'], 6'4 SG Freehold Boro 2025</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tassey is an intriguing guard prospect in the 2025 class as he can do a number of different things on the floor. The 6'4 guard knows how to finish around the basket and moves well without the ball in his hands. Tassey gets to his spot on the floor and rises up nicely on this jumper. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and is a strong rebounder. Tassey's versatility is something that will help his game in a big way this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other Prospects to Watch:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1790210' first='Tyler' last='Hammond'], 5'8 CG Trenton Catholic 2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1407196' first='Jeremiah' last='Williams'], 6'2 PG Bound Brook 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1413227' first='Shakur' last='Anderson'], 6'3 SG Burlington City 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1775138' first='Tyler' last='Cameron'], 6'0 CG St. Rose 2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1273938' first='Johnny' last='Magner'], 6'4 SG Bridgewater-Raritan 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
