2025 Group 2 Shooting Guards Prospects to Track

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>July is in full swing, meaning that the summer live period is here. The 2025 class is set to make its mark during their final summer live period, especially in the backcourt. Here are the 2025 Group 2 shooting guard prospects to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1411401' first='Emmanuel' last='Joe-Samuel'], 6'4 Camden</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Joe-Samuel has made noise during June and is looking to bring it over into July. The 6'4 guard attacks the basket with a purpose as he finishes strong at the rim and is unafraid of drawing contact. Joe-Samuel is more than just a slasher as he has a nice release on his jumper and can make opponents pay for giving him space behind the arc. He pushes the ball nicely in transition and works hard on the defensive end. Joe-Samuel picked up a pair of D1 offers for his play in June and is looking to pick up more with his play this July.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1228551' first='Le'Darius' last='Jones'], 6'3 Camden</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Joe-Samuel wasn't the only Camden guard who had a strong June as Jones made noise as well. The 6'3 guard has a good first step, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and finishes well above the rim. Jones can also score in the mid-range and moves well without the ball in his hands. He is an underrated passer and generates steals on the defensive end. Jones picked up two D1 offers for his play in June and should pick up more if he continues his play in July.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2116520' first='Jackson' last='Morrison'], 6'3 Bound Brook</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Morrison has the potential to put up points in bunches, evidenced by a 52-point performance in Philly Live. The 6'3 guard has a nice release on his jumper and can knock down triples in bunches. Morrison is more than just a shooter as he can also put the ball on the floor and finish around the basket. He is a solid rebounder and uses his length to make an impact on the defensive end. Morrison is a high-scoring guard prospect who should put up big scoring numbers this July.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2119096' first='Mason' last='Mangione'], 6'3 Glen Rock</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mangione has the ability to play on the ball at times, making him an intriguing prospect to watch. The 6'3 guard has a good shooting stroke as he wastes little motion and sets his feet before he shoots. Mangione is able to get to his spot on the floor and can score in the mid-range. He is an underrated passer and slides his feet on the defensive end. Mangione is a hard-working guard prospect whose ability to stretch the floor will help his stock over the next couple of weeks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2233689' first='David' last='Carr Jr'], 6'3 Rumson Fair-Haven</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carr Jr has the potential to break out this month with his ability to stretch the floor. The 6'3 lefty has a clean release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Carr Jr moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open layups and jumpers in the halfcourt. He is a good rebounder and plays tough on-ball defense. Carr Jr's ability to knock down jumpers and defend the ball will help his development in a big way over the next couple of weeks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
