Cook is an explosive scoring guard with a lot of athletic ability. He will just glide in the air effortlessly the moment he takes off for the slam. He is very quick and smooth with the ball in his hands as he seems to have a move to counter any situation he is in. Cook is elite in the midrange game as he looks to his size and shooting ability to take advantage of mismatches. He is a streaky shooter from the three-point line as all it takes is a couple to go down to get him going from deep.
Cervino is a player who likes to get his shots from long range and can do so in a hurry. Cervino can run the offense while also being the team’s number-one scoring option because of his ability to get hot from deep. He has an extremely quick release on his shot making it difficult for defenders to get a contest on him. He has range well beyond the three-point line and likes to use screens to get open. He even has two-way ability as he does an excellent job of picking up players full-court and causing disruption in the passing lanes.
Highlights
Farmer has two-way ability at the point guard position making him a matchup nightmare for most players he matches up against. He is quick on his feet and likes to push the tempo of the offense more often than not. He is a score-first point guard who likes to play downhill and get to the rim whenever he can. Farmer does a great job of evading contact when getting to the basket allowing him to get shots up over taller players. On defense, he will look to cause havoc in the passing lanes and jump screens to cut off players from getting to the rim.
George is an all-around player that can dominate in any area you need him to. His ability to score the basketball is elite as he can hit every shot in the book. George can get to the rim at will anytime he wants thanks to the use of his quick and crafty handles allowing him to break down multiple defenders in one possession. He has full confidence to hit the pull-up three in a fastbreak situation. His playmaking ability is what completes his game because of how much attention he draws from defenses pairing along with his terrific vision.
Guy has gotten better every year in all areas of his game making him a great two-way point guard so far. He has lighting quick speed and can pair that with his handles which makes it difficult to stay in front of him. He finishes at the rim strong with both hands and has a ton of athletic ability to get his shot over multiple defenders. On defense, he will look to pressure players into traps forcing multiple turnovers in a game for him.
