2027 Unranked Guards to Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The spring AAU season is coming to a close as there are only two weekends left in May. The 2027 class is looking to make its mark this spring, especially the guards under the radar. Here are the 2027 unranked guards to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2421373' first='Tommy' last='Calaprese'], SG Cliffside Park</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Calaprese made a big impact in his debut season as he showed his ability to stretch the floor. He has a quick release on his jumper and makes opponents pay for giving him space behind the arc. Calaprese moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open jumpers and layups in the halfcourt. He is an underrated passer and rarely forces jumpers in the halfcourt. Calaprese is a sharpshooting guard prospect who should continue to torch the nets over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2421374' first='Lis' last='Banishi'], 6'2 SG Patrick School</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Banishi has been making plays this spring and should bring it over into the summer. The 6'2 guard has a nice shooting stroke as he wastes little motion and can knock down triples in bunches. Banishi is more than just a shooter as he can also put the ball on the floor and finish around the basket. He can get his teammates involved in the halfcourt and slides his feet on the defensive end. Banishi's ability to score the ball will help his stock in a big way over the summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2391282' first='Avery' last='George'], 6'3 SG St. Peter's Prep</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>George is an intriguing prospect to watch as he has the potential to play on the wing. The 6'3 guard attacks the basket strong as he finishes well around the basket and does not mind contact. George can also score in the mid-range and rises up nicely on his jumper. He has a solid handle and has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor. George has the potential to have a big summer with his ability to make plays in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2375511' first='Justin' last='Ofori'], 6'1 PG Cinnaminson</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ofori showed the ability to play on and off the ball last season, which will help his development. The 6'1 guard has a good first step, which he uses to get into the lane off the bounce and finish nicely around the rim. Ofori uses his size to see over his defender and sets his feet before he shoots. He gets deflections on the defensive end and is an underrated rebounder. Ofori should have the ball in his hands more this summer, which will help his game in a big way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2384280' first='RJ' last='Blake'], 6'2 CG Northern Highlands</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Blake is a prospect to track as he has the potential to make noise this summer. The 6'2 guard attacks the basket with a purpose as he finishes strong around the basket and can make shots through contact. Blake can also score in the mid-range and rarely forces shots in the halfcourt. He is an underrated passer and works hard on the defensive end. Blake is a skilled guard prospect whose ability to score in the paint will hep his stock over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
