<p>We are now officially over halfway through the high school basketball season and the final year for the Class of 2024! PHI dives into the senior class this week with our latest rankings release. Here we look at <strong>2024 Rankings: Top PG/Combo Sleepers</strong>!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1500289' first='Klaidas' last='Paskauskas'] (Lemont)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Current Raking: #72</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>High level three point marksmen that lit up the PHC over the summer consistently posting huge scoring games from three and can also float it over defenders in the paint.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1285522' first='CJ' last='Savage'] (West Aurora)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Current Raking: #82</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Tough and physical guard with a compact build. Kid is wired to get buckets from all three levels. Microwave scorer type that can take over games.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1541243' first='DJ' last='Strong'] (Bolingbrook)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Current Raking: #83</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Strong is a long and rangy lefty that is a big time defender. He is excellent creating turnovers and flipping them into points in transition. Also a solid spot up shooter.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1157355' first='Jaeden' last='Rush'] (O'Fallon)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Current Raking: #84</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Rush is a wiry lead guard that loves to weave through the defense either in transition or the half court. Burst on his first step getting in the lane for slippery drives and acrobatic conversions.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1965004' first='Sam' last='Lappin'] (Glenbrook North)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Current Raking: #99</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lappin had a strong summer with All-In Athletics as a rock solid floor general that also scored it well with his jumper.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1285533' first='Edwon' last='Duling'] (Kenwood)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Current Raking: #101</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Duling is a defensive guard that can get after it on that end and play a complimentary role offensively. Nose for the ball and does little things that help a team win.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1978603' first='Bryant' last='Hedrick'] (De La Salle)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Current Raking: #102</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hedrick has nice strength and can score it from his lead guard spot. Liked what he showed for the [program_tooltip program_id='2075383' first='Chicago' last='Demons'] over the summer as a scoring lead guard that flashed as a passer.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1874870' first='Tallis' last='Lowery'] (Belleville East)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Current Raking: #126</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lowery is another defensive first guard with his long and rangy frame. Offensively best attacking the hoop on slick drives.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2100721' first='Cole' last='Stuart'] (Freeburg)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Current Raking: #133</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Tough point guard from southern Illinois that flies down the floor with speed. Capable shot maker, solid passer, and good all-around small college player.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1373442' first='Jonathan' last='Calmese'] (Manley)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Current Raking: #144</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Calmese has bounced around high schools and is making noise as a senior at Manley. Strong guard that can score and brings physicality to the combo guard spot.</p>
