<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1385291' first='Jeremiah' last='Fears'] AZ Compass Prep</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the most impressive players in the state is a legit 4 star or maybe even a 5 star when its all said and done. He has next level quickness, ball handling, court vision, speed and skill. He can pull-up on a dime from mid to the three and then thread the needle perfectly in stride to a teammate. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1225690' first='Calvin' last='Murphy III'] Dream City Christian (Pictured) </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The grandson of the legend Calvin Murphy has a next level game. He is quick on quick with a blazing first step. His handle is tight and brings speed. He has a polished rainbow floater and can pull-up from mid to the three point line. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1297427' first='AJ' last='Thomas'] Eduprize</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The most physical point guard on the list has elite size for position and college court vision. He sees it very quickly to make players around him better and uses his stronger frame and size to get downhill. The ball is also on string for him to create a lot of space with a sharp crossover. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1150847' first='Carlos' last='Coronado Jr'] Phhoenix Prep</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>An athletic bigger point guard has a tight handle, good court vision and he can defend. He has supreme lateral quickness and long arms to keep opponents in front of him. He uses his speed and shift to create separation and shoot it from mid to the three. He will also throw it down easily on the break. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='996176' first='Bryce' last='Quinet'] Notre Dame Prep</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A bigger scoring lead guard is one of the top shooters on the list. He squares up quickly and brings toughness and a huge IQ. He understands how to change speeds and uses the pick and roll game well and makes a play off of it or will shoot it. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1231510' first='Marcus' last='McDonald'] Bella Vista Prep</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A good sized lead guard moved back to the state from Oak Hill Academy and is ready to make some noise. He can handle it well with speed with the ball and burst into the lane to score. He moves the ball and can shoot it from the perimeter. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2198882' first='Kam' last='Robinson'] AZ Compass Prep Black</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A pure point guard who is a true dimer. He has nice touch passes, he threads the needle and has a gear that most don't have. He makes threes off the catch and uses his speed to burst into the paint. He transferred in from Virginia. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1336443' first='Uriah' last='Tenette'] Prescott</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>An undersized all-around guard seems to have springs on his shoes. He has an incredible verticality with quick bounce to literally dunk on someone despite his size. He can score from all levels with a sharp pull-up from both levels and has the much needed tear drop. His speed is hard to handle in the open court. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1371857' first='Quron' last='Elliott'] AZ Compass Prep Black</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A Maryland transfer is a scoring lead guard. Elliott and Robinson have a good mixture together. Elliott is usually looking to score with a shifty handle to get into the lane and score. The lefty can shoot the three and his mid-range jumper is tough. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1494967' first='Dylan' last='Novak'] ALA Gilbert-North</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The AIA standout is one of the better lead guards in 4A. The southpaw has deep three point range, a tight handle, pinpoint passing and can pull-up from mid to the three with range. They should make a deep run this year led by Dylan. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1425099' first='Kaleel' last='Kelly'] <strong>Willow Canyon</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A tall sized pure point guard has that rare next level strength already. He also has next level court vision and finds players in stride off of live dribbles often. He can make perimeter jumpers but loves getting downhill using his build/frame. </p>
