<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here are the top-8 PG's in the 2024 class:</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2130258' first='Jeremiah' last='Johnson'] <strong>Phhoenix Prep OTE</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the top scoring point guards in the West and country for that matter. He has elite size for position and is a next level athlete. He is a three level scorer with pull-ups and catch threes. He is fast in transition and sprays the ball around to his teammates. He is the #1 player in the state for the class. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1858998' first='Cam' last='Miles'] <strong>AZ Compass Prep</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Another good sized scoring lead guard scores it easily from the perimeter. He has college three point range and is sneaky quick to jet past his defenders. He has a difficult mid-range jumper to try and stop and uses his length to defend. </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 fast and skilled scoring point guard. He will drive and kick but is mostly wired to score. He has an accurate stroke from beyond the three point line and speed to burn in the open court. He is quick on the ball defensively. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='994006' first='Styles' last='Phipps'] <strong>St. Mary's (Pictured)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The top senior in the AIA for position is Styles. He is very shifty and hard to stay in front of. He has pocket passes and up the court to go along with his tough mid-range jumper and downhill play. </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 bigger pure point guard is one of the better passers in the state. He will suck in the defense and pitch it to a shooter or dart it up the court and has next level court vision. He plays above the rim and can hit 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>A strong framed two-way pure point guard packs a punch. He is a bully on the ball defensively and a true lead guard guiding his team to do what is necessary to win either by scoring from both levels or facilitating. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1479805' first='Dilen' last='Miller']<strong> Inspire Prep National</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A tall shooting lead guard has range for days. He is a range extender with his three ball and has a tight enough handle to create the necessary space to free himself up for a mid-range jumper. He uses his size and length to defend. </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 better athletic lead guards in the AIA for the class is Randolph. He flies on the break with impressive body control. He will make plays for others, defend his position better then most and is a stud getting to the rim and usually finishing above it. </p>
