2027 Combo Guards to Watch Next Month

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>July is around the corner as it is less than a month away. The 2027 class is set to burst onto the scene as they look to make their marks in July. Here are the 2027 combo guards to watch next month.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1962882' first='Mekhi' last='Robertson'], 6'3 Life Center Academy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Robertson is the top rated combo guard in the update and should put it on display this July. The 6'3 guard explodes off the floor for dunks and is able to draw contact in the paint. Robertson can also score in the mid-range and sets his feet before he shoots. He can thread passes to teammates in the halfcourt and uses his athleticism to make plays on the defensive end. Robertson put up a quadruple-double during his debut varsity season and should continue to impact the game at both ends throughout July.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2348975' first='Elijah' last='Guer'], 6'4 Patrick School</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Guer has the potential to play on the wing at a pinch, making him an intriguing prospect in the class. The 6'4 guard has a quick first step, which he uses to blow by his defender off the bounce and finish around the basket. Guer moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open layups and jumpers in the halfcourt. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and is an underrated passer. Guer is a lanky guard prospect whose ability to attack the basket strong will help his game in a big way next month.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2201961' first='Vasuan' last='Harper'], 6'1 Immaculate Conception</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harper will have the ball in his hands more in 2024-25, which will help his development. The 6'1 guard has a nice handle, which he uses to create space off the bounce and finish nicely around the basket. Harper is more than just a slasher as he wastes little motion in his release and sets his feet before he shoots. He slides his feet on the defensive end and pushes the ball nicely in transition. Harper has the ability to put up points in bunches and should put it on display this July.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2201953' first='Jayden' last='Johnson'], 5'10 Elizabeth</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson has more experience playing off the ball at the varsity level, but should receive more on the ball reps over the course of the summer. The 5'10 guard has a smooth release on his jumper and can knock down triples in bunches. Johnson is more than just a shooter as he can also put the ball on the floor and finish around the basket. He plays with composure on the ball and gets deflections on the defensive end. Johnson's ability to torch the nets is something that will help his game in a big way this July.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2201960' first='Rashad' last='Robinson'], 5'11 Hudson Catholic</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Robinson has the potential to breakout this July with his ability to play on and off the ball. The 5'11 guard has a tight handle and good first step, which he uses to get by his defender and finish around the basket. Robinson has a nice touch on his floater and can make opponents pay for giving him space behind the arc. He gets his teammates involved in the halfcourt and is an underrated defender. Robinson is a skilled guard prospect whose ability to make plays with the ball in his hands will be something to watch next month.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
