Jordan Dickson is a 6’3 true point guard. He has next-level quickness and a strong desire to make plays. With Balboa, he’s a drink stirrer who runs the offense, penetrates the defense, and makes quick, smart decisions. He can use his speed to score on drives and draw fouls along the way.
Ilich Yacaman is a quick twitch point guard. While Yacaman won’t blow you away with his athleticism in drills, he uses craftiness to bite by players and create space. This skill set and his passing make him a consistent playmaker. He gets paint touches and converts them to points by hitting finishers or scoring with floaters. Yacama is a scary defender.
Trevon Torchon is a big 6’3 guard who produces on both ends of the floor. He has a muscular frame with the intangibles to take advantage of them. He talks on defense while having the athleticism to help on drives and keep his man in front of him. On the offensive end, an eye for playmaking and shot creation makes him stand out. Torchon picks his shots on the offensive end but plays with enough aggressiveness to get to the line several times a game.
Willie Sheppard Willie Sheppard 5'11" | PG Oldsmar Christian | 2024 State FL has the feel of a traditional point guard. He’s a smaller guard who controls the pace and flow of the game while limiting turnovers. He has leadership qualities as a lead ball handler. He’s a tough, quick defender with the length, speed, and discipline to be a plus defender.
Mardrecus Moreland is one of the best-unsigned playmakers we have in the state. He’s an electric ball handler who gets where he wants when he wants with speed and craft. He has elite body control, a feel for the game, and the ability to create space. He’s a three-level scorer with the jumper to produce as a pull-up midrange, long-range, and finisher around the rim. He’s great at pulling defenses in and finding open targets.
Yattir Caraballo rounds out a class of big time competitors. He’s a smaller guard who pushes the pace of the game but controls in with heady playmaking. He does a good job of keeping his defender on his heels with downhill pressure. He has the touch to score with floaters amongst the trees and knock down jumpers beyond the arc. He’s a scrappy defender who fights over screens and has quick hands to bother ball handlers. He’s a really good pick and roll passer with tight ball handling and next level vision.
