<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here are the top-8 PG's in the 2026 class:</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1323290' first='Mason' last='Magee'] <strong>Basha</strong> <strong>(Pictured) </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The top 2026 point guard is Magee. He has that rare next level athleticism, breakneck speed, change of direction and top-notch defense. He is very hard to stay in front of and is hard to catch on the break. He has a nasty pull-up with high elevation and can make plays. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1150823' first='Kalek' last='House'] <strong>Desert Mountain</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A bigger lead guard can score from all levels, defend with his elite size and facilitate. His defense is one of the best parts of his game with quick feet and hands. He doesn't mind deferring to make his teammates better but can shoot it from the perimeter and get to the basket. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1591734' first='TJ' last='Harris'] <strong>Paradise Honors</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A jet quick scoring lead guard. Not as well known as some others but he should be. He has the ball on a string and makes the game easy for his teammates. He can pull-up from mid to the three and burst into the lane with a tear drop.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1464982' first='Miles' last='Sadler'] <strong>Dream City Christian</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the class stock risers had a good April live period for the 15U EYBL. He picked up his first offer from Weber State with his dynamic scoring and showing he can be a floor general as well. His speed is right up there with the best of them and he showed more consistency with his shooting. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1150901' first='John' last='Mattingly'] <strong>Sunnyslope</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the top shooting lead guards in the class. He shoots it comfortably from mid range but can extend out past the three. He plays at his own pace and consistently gets to his spots on the court he wants. He is a neck up type with skill and savvy. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1323294' first='Will' last='Gordon'] <strong>San Tan Charter</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A bigger scoring lead guard has a good blend of everything you are looking for. He has the size, the skill, he can be unselfish and he will play hard on the defensive end. He hits the three easily and can also get to the rim plus is good in transition. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1323292' first='Joseph' last='Lindsey'] <strong>Mountain Pointe </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A true point guard is one of the top facilitators in this class. He is a little undersized but has incredible speed and a yo-yo handle. The faster the game goes, the better he gets. He plays and thinks fast in the half court set and is a star in transition. He bursts to the basket often. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1893639' first='Alonzo' last='Middleton'] <strong>Phhoenix Prep</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the top shooting lead guards in the class. He has volleyball line three point range and comes with a quick trigger. He has a tighter handle and will throw up the court passes and will drive and kick it. He did unfortunately get injured and may be out for a while. </p>
