2027 Shooting Guards to Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops Arkansas has recently introduced the class of 2027 prospect rankings. As with all of our classes, we are going to update and add to each class throughout the year. Meanwhile, in this article, we are going to highlight some shooting guards to watch out for over the next couple of seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2300101' first='Mar' last='Mar Lee']-Shooting Guard-Har-Ber-6'3”</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over the past few months, I have become more and more impressed with Lee. He is a prospect that has no trouble creating his own shot. Lee does a nice job of driving through the lane and either finishing above the rim or finding the open Wildcat. Lee hits his jump shot with plenty of consistency and he is the type of player that can heat up quickly from anywhere on the floor. Lee is a good defender and keeps his hands active on the defensive end of the court. He is a prospect that I expect to have a big summer on the club circuit and a solid 2024 high school season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2395375' first='Cayleb' last='Stobaugh']-Shooting Guard-Wonderview-6'0”</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2395375' first='Cayleb' last='Stobaugh'] does a great job of shifting from the shooting guard to the point guard with very little difficulty. Stobaugh had a tremendous 2023 season in which he racked up all-conference honors. He has a smooth jumper and is deadly accurate from three-point land. Stobaugh heats up from the floor quickly. Meanwhile, he is active on both ends of the floor and can stuff the stat sheet on both the offensive and defensive ends of the floor. I look for Stobaugh to have an impressive summer on the club circuit and even stronger 2024 high school season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2300186' first='Xavier' last='Cox']-Shooting Guard-DeWitt-6'0”</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The DeWitt guard drives through the lane with ease. He is an impressive ball handler and is not sloppy with the basketball. Cox will either finish with points driving through the lane, or he will find the open shooter. He has a smooth jump shot and can hit the jumper with plenty of consistency. I come away impressed with how active he is on the defensive end of the court. Cox does a great job of forcing turnovers and will stick to his man like glue. He is a prospect to watch out for over the summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1893319' first='Vatan' last='Paydak']-Shooting Guard-Pulaski Academy-6'3”</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1893319' first='Vatan' last='Paydak'] is a guard that can light it up from anywhere on the floor for Pulaski Academy. He has impressive range and can shoot the jumper with plenty of consistency. Paydak is the type of player that will force opposing defenses to adjust to him. He is unselfish with the basketball and finds the open shooter. Paydak does a nice job of keeping his hands active on the defensive end of the floor and can force turnovers. Paydak has the potential to have a strong summer on the club circuit and he should open plenty of eyes during the 2024 high school season as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
