<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The new 2024 rankings are out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We dive into the positional rankings. We first look at the point guards for the senior class.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here are the top-10 PG's in the 2024 class: (An incredible group of PG's.)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2130258' first='Jeremiah' last='Johnson'] <strong>Phhoenix Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An explosive scoring lead guard makes the game look easy. He has great size, elite bounce for position and can make players around him better or score. He can shoot it with range then get a step with his incredible burst and dunk on someone or take the bump and score thru contact with his strong upper body. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1259623' first='Del' last='Jones'] <strong>AZ Compass Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scoring lead guard can fill it up from all three levels. He loves to attack the basket with his speed, shift and tight handle. He puts a lot of pressure on the defense and rises high on his jumpers with good elevation. He can also spray the ball around to make plays. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='994006' first='Styles' last='Phipps'] <strong>St. Mary's</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top guards in all of the AIA. He can beat you with his handle and passing abilities but also scores it effortlessly. He uses his stronger upper body to get into the paint and bounce off of defenders. He has a mean pull-up from mid and will hit the three. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1124235' first='Marcus' last='Wilson'] <strong>Bella Vista Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A smooth guard is athletic and is an easy scorer from all levels. His deep three point range separates him from many and quick step gets him into the paint. He can flush it down on the break and make smart reads off of the pick and roll game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1204857' first='Jalen' last='Lyn'] <strong>Hillcrest Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A pure point guard with great size and frame. He has that rare next level court vision. He was the assist leader in the Grind Session with Tennessee Prep and turned many heads. The NYC bred guard will lead the way for the local Bruins plus score it with pull-ups and perimeter jumpers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='992829' first='Gabe' last='Pickens'] <strong>Dream City Christian</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another top facilitator who plays in the Grind Session. He came off the bench last year and immediately changes the pace to their team. He is a true table setter and if he gets the opportunity to start, he can be one of the leaders in assists. He is also very powerful to get downhill and is a pit bull on-ball defender. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1479805' first='Dilen' last='Miller'] <strong>AZ Compass Prep Black</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A thicker framed scoring lead guard has recently verbally committed to <strong>Georgia State.</strong> He has elite range on his shooting from well past the three point line and the ball gets out of his hands quickly to set up his teammates. He uses his sturdy frame to defend on the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2173989' first='KJ' last='Morrast'] <strong>Hillcrest Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lyn's backup is no slouch. He will play a lot of minutes and has a stronger build and frame. He can score it from the perimeter with deep range and a quick trigger and sees the court well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1305181' first='Tommy' last='Randolph'] <strong>Pinnacle</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the most athletic lead guards in the AIA from the senior class. He flies on the break with incredible speed and is way above the rim. His strong frame allows him to absorb the contact when he gets downhill and is very tough on the ball using his athletic gifts and size.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1178304' first='Isaiah' last='Hill'] <strong>Pueblo (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The quintessential pure point guard is one of the more entertaining players to watch in Tucson. He sees the game differently than most. He threads the needle at any time off a live dribble about as well as you can. The lefty can also score it from the perimeter and has a quick first step to get into the teeth of the defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
