2026 Unranked Guards to Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The new school year is only a couple of weeks away as August is halfway over. The rising sophomore class has only played one season of varsity basketball, but that won't stop them from making their mark this season. Here are the 2026 unranked guards to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2107954' first='Charlie' last='Marcoullier'], 5'10 CG CBA</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Marcoullier picked up valuable experience this summer playing with the Irish Youth National Team, which should carry over into the winter. The 5'10 guard has a solid handle, which he uses to get to the rim and finish. Marcoullier has a nice touch on his floater and can make opponents pay for giving him space from behind the arc. He can play off the ball and can get deflections on defense. Marcoullier's ability to score inside and out is something that will help his stock in a big way this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2107955' first='George' last='Boley'], 6'2 SG College Achieve</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Boley joins a loaded College Achieve roster that should make noise this season. The Roselle Catholic transfer has a good release on his jumper and sets his feet before he shoots. Boley moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open jumpers and layups in the halfcourt. He has an underrated handle and slides his feet on defense. Boley's shooting is something that will help his development during the 2023-24 season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2107943' first='JP' last='Skoric'], 6'3 SG Don Bosco Prep</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Skoric had a strong summer and is looking to carry it over into the winter. The 6'3 guard rises up with confidence on his jumper and can knock down triples in bunches. Skoric is more than just a shooter as he can also put the ball on the floor and finish around the basket. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and rarely forces bad shots in the halfcourt. Skoric will be a prospect to track in North Jersey with his ability to knock down jumpers from behind the arc.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2107956' first='Chris' last='Yevchek'], 6'0 CG Don Bosco Prep</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Skoric isn't the only Ironmen guard to watch as Yevchek has the potential to make plays this winter. The 6'0 guard plays with poise on the ball as he does not get rattled by on-ball pressure and is able to get to his spot on the floor. Yevchek is a good finisher around the basket and can draw contact when he gets into the paint. He moves his feet in the halfcourt and gets his teammates involved in the halfcourt. Yevchek is a tough guard prospect who will be part of a deep Don Bosco backcourt.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2118484' first='Uche' last='Onunkwo'], 6'3 CG Florence</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Onunkwo has the chance to break out this season as he should get more touches on the offensive end. The 6'3 guard uses his size to see over his defender and get to his spot on the floor. Onunkwo knows how to finish around the basket and can knock down jumpers in the mid-range. He has the potential to defend multiple positions on the floor and pushes the pace nicely in transition. Onunkwo's combination of size and skill makes him an intriguing prospect to watch in Central Jersey this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
