<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The new academic school year is coming closer as August is only a couple of days away. The 2025 class is filled with guards who have big shoes to fill this season. Here are the 2025 point guards whose production will take a jump in 2023-24.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1271427' first='Judah' last='Hidalgo'], 6'4 Paul VI</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hidalgo had a solid summer with the NJ Scholars and the Puerto Rican Youth National Team, which should carry over into the winter. The 6'4 guard has a good release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Hidalgo has the ability to play off the ball as he moves well within the flow of the offense and can finish around the basket. He works hard on the defensive end and is an underrated passer. Hidalgo will be the go-to guy for Paul VI this season, which should see his production rise this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1411647' first='Ty' last='Carnegie'], 6'0 Teaneck</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carnegie made plays for the [program_tooltip program_id='2078573' first='NJ' last='Beasts'] 16U team and should do it again for the Highwaymen. The 6'0 guard has a good handle, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and finish around the basket. Carnegie knows how to get his teammates involved in the half court and can play off the ball as well. He moves his feet on the defensive end and is an underrated rebounder. Carnegie is a tough guard prospect who will be one to watch in Bergen County.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1466430' first='Asher' last='Bradley'], 6'0 Oratory Prep</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bradley has been a key part of Oratory Prep's attack over the past two years and it should continue in 2023-24. The 6'0 guard is at his best attacking the basket as he is a solid finisher and is unafraid of drawing contact. Bradley is more than just a slasher as he has a nice release on his jumper and can also score in the mid-range. He works hard on the defensive end and can thread passes to teammates in the halfcourt. Bradley is a talented guard prospect whose game should only get better this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1412734' first='Luke' last='Kreitz'], 6'0 Ridge</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kreitz had a strong summer and it should carry over into the winter. The 6'0 guard has a clean release on his jumper and can knock down triples in bunches. Kreitz is more than just a shooter as he can also get to the rim off the bounce and finish. He is an underrated defender and has the ability to play off the ball as well. Kreitz's ability to play both on and off the ball is something that will help his game in a big way this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1456848' first='Jacob' last='Carmona'], 6'1 Saddle River Day</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carmona should get more touches on the offensive end, which will help his production jump. The 6'1 guard is able to get to his spot on the floor and rarely gets rattled by on-ball pressure. Carmona finishes nicely around the basket and can also score in the mid-range. He uses his length to get deflections on the defensive end and pushes the ball nicely in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
