Ohio 250 Expo: Mike’s Top Guards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Prep Hoops Ohio Top 250 Expo brought well over 100 prospects to Fieldhouse USA to compete in front of our scouts and a couple college programs. In this article I'll break down my top guards I saw at the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1827697"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"The top ranked prospect at the event, Washington was showing exactly why we think so highly of him on Saturday. A freak athlete who is in the middle of a huge football season, Washington had maybe the highlight of the event with a poster dunk off an alley-oop pass from his teammate. A name that mid to high major programs will continue to get familiar with over the next few years.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1540136"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"A point guard who makes his teammates better, I saw more of a scoring mentality from Siegfried on Saturday. Able to play off two feet at the rim, Siegfried is crafty at the rim and his best finish of the day was a lefty floater. From the triple threat, Siegfried was also getting by the primary guard defender and either looking to score or kickout to a shooter on the perimeter. One of the top prospects in the building, expect Siegfried's recruitment to take shape starting next spring.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1462979"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"This Louisville pair were on the same team and showed off their chemistry together. The biggest thing I noticed about Nigro on Saturday was his confidence as a 3-point shooter off the catch. That's been the biggest skill improvement that he needed to make and based on Saturday, he appears more confident from 3-point range and hit a high percentage of those looks. He's always been tough to stop at the rim with his functional strength and he had more than a handful of right handed finishes through contact. A name to watch for regional scholarship programs.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1984819"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"A guy that central Ohio fans will start to learn this winter, Joy is set for a breakout senior season with Olentangy Orange. A big time shooter, Joy made it rain from the corner on spot-up opportunities. I also appreciated Joy's effort running the floor, getting a couple easy layups from his hustle. Olentangy Orange graduated three scholarship guards from last year's team, but with players like Joy returning, they'll be a tough out once again in central Ohio.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2200014"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"A new name for myself, Johnson really caught my eye with a diverse scoring effort. Hit some early 3-pointers showing the confidence to make shots off the bounce from long distance. As a point guard, Johnson also made some impressive passes including a behind the back dime for an easy layup. Defensively, Johnson had a pickpocket steal and jumped a passing lane for a steal, both led to easy layups. I left really impressed with Johnson's game as one of the top performers I had previously been unaware of.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6509eaa19281a"} /-->
