His ability to come off of off-ball screens is what makes it tough for defenders to keep him contained. O'Reilly has a quick release point and uses his 6'3u0022 size to shoot over smaller defenders. He has deep range and must be guarded the second he passes half-court. He also can put the ball on the floor and get to the rim if needed.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1213572"],"_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":"Kipnis has two-way ability written all over him with how much he can impact both sides of the ball. His offense is elite when it comes to scoring the basketball and has a quick handle for him to get anywhere he wants to on the court. He finishes in the paint strong over multiple defenders with creative moves around the basket. His three-point shooting is what makes him dangerous as he has unlimited range and can get his shot up in a multitude of ways. On defense, he can pick up anyone full-court and has great timing and reactions when getting into the passing lanes.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1400496"],"_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":"Michigan is as talented of a scorer as they come and can create his offense in any situation. He is shifty with the ball in his hands and can make people miss more often than not when trying to stay in front of him. He can stop in an instant and pull up for the midrange jump shot before a defender even gets a chance to contest it. Michigan has a smooth shot from deep and can get it off from behind the arc at any moment. His ability to get to the rim makes it nearly impossible to stop as he just overpowers players with his strength and quickness.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1464421"],"_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":"Donahue is a consistent three-point shooter that requires a lot of attention from defenses. He finds many different ways to get open behind the arc. At 6'4u0022 with a quick and high release, Donahue looks to exploit mismatches by shooting over smaller defenders the second he catches it. He has deep range and it will increase the more he makes throughout a game. When it comes to putting the ball on the floor he can get into the heart of defenses using his size in the paint to go up over multiple defenders all over him.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1809147"],"_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":"Zimmermann can score the basketball with the best in his class as he can make things happen on offense at all levels of the game. He has a quick handle he uses to get by most defenders looking to press him. He can get to the rim at will and hang in the air longer than normal to get some creative athletic finishes around the basket. He has a consistent three-point shot and can get up and down the court in an instant. On defense, he does an excellent job of disrupting offensive players' rhythms and getting into passing lanes with his impressive timing.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-658c692a756d9"} /-->

The shooting guard position for the 2024 class is filled with talent from top to bottom. With that, players may not get the same recognition as some of the other top players in their position. Here are my underrated shooting guards for the 2024 class.
