<p>These shooting guards provided valuable floor spacing and complementary scoring from other areas of the floor. Defensively, they bring versatility across multiple positions, given their motor and lateral mobility. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Greene is a tall scoring guard, certainly taking on a larger role this season, both in volume of shot attempts and opportunity handling the ball. Given his height advantage, opponents seeking the closeout have little to do against deterring such attempts. On quite a few occasions, Greene attacked incoming closeouts with urgency, repeatedly putting pressure on the rim following the rotating defense. Proving to be a dependable finisher versus contests and contact at the rim, the tall guard continues to progress within his role for Horizon. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Lunsford is a talented name at roughly 6'4 or 6'5, bringing consistency knocking down shots along the perimeter. Effective off the catch, incoming closeouts rarely faze Lunsford on such attempts from distance. Continuing to show improvements with the ball, the guard has greater confidence leveraging multiple combo moves to break down his opponent. Should he get to the rim either from the drive or off-ball cut, Lunsford is a wiry strong finisher versus contact down low. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Makkai is another name gaining responsibility within Lutheran's roster, creating his own shot within the mid-range. Comfortable handling pressure with the ball, the guard repeatedly created space for turnaround shots regardless of the contest. Not sped up by opponents, he will likely be tasked with a much higher usage with the ball going into next high school season. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The strong, wiry shooting guard was a dependable perimeter defender with Legacy. Capable of matching up with backcourt positions as Legacy's most effective option on that end of the floor. Particularly for his class, Ward's defensive abilities bring in a great base to build around. Gaining some strength since last seeing him, the guard is clearly one of the more versatile defensive options within the class. On the opposite end, Ward remains a capable three point shooter, careful picking his spots within the offensive flow. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A talented shotmaker from all three levels, Berninger's height and confidence contributing attempts off the dribble make him one of the most productive scorers within the 2025 class. Effective rising up into shots off of movement, whether off the bounce or following screen actions, Berninger is a threat from anywhere. Still an exciting athlete who can finish above the rim, Berninger is far from just a shooter. Defensively, he holds his own versus opposing shooting guards, bringing good size to contest opponents and cover a lengthy distance for helpside. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Similar to Berninger, Baskind is a smooth shooter from a variety of areas on the floor. Capable of heating up for multiple shots in a row, his ability to quickly get the shot off from movement makes him particularly dangerous. Routinely providing production for one of the state's most competitive programs in Mountain Vista, Baskind has consistently performed at the highest levels. </p>
