<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(223) SG [player_tooltip player_id='2511594' first='Luke' last='Anderson'] (Ankeny)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Anderson is a pure shooter who knocked down 43.3% of his shots from behind the arc as a junior for the Hawks, helping provide some valuable floor spacing. He's a true sniper who saw 86% of his shot attempts last season come from 3-point range. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(224) SG [player_tooltip player_id='2511550' first='Parker' last='Kuehl'] (MFL MarMac)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 5-11 guard, Kuehl had a ton of success on both ends of the floor for the Bulldogs as a junior, averaging 15.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 3.1 steals a game. He's a quick guard who flies all over the floor on the defensive end and looks to turn his defense into quick and easy offense by attacking the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(244) PG [player_tooltip player_id='2511517' first='Landon' last='Waldschmitt'] (Remsen, St. Mary's)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Waldschmitt is a skilled 6-0 guard who does a tremendous job protecting the basketball and getting his teammates involved. As a junior, he dished out 5.4 assists a game and posted a 2.53 assist-to-turnover ratio. He sees the floor well and doesn't get sped up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(246) PG [player_tooltip player_id='2511527' first='Eli' last='Scott'] (Marquette Catholic)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Scott is small, listed at 5-8 as a junior, but he's a lightning-quick and fearless guard who loves to attack the rim and create plays off the dribble for himself and his teammates. He's also a menace on the defensive end, using his quick hands and feet to pester opposing ball-handlers. He averaged 11.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 2.8 steals a game as a junior for the 1A runner-up Defenders. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(248) SG [player_tooltip player_id='2511542' first='Stone' last='Sibenailer'] (Carroll)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 5-8 off-ball guard, Sibenailer moves well without the ball in his hands and has a quick release off the catch, knocking down nearly 39% of his 3-point attempts as a junior for the Tigers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(250) PG [player_tooltip player_id='2511548' first='Aaron' last='Kraft'] (Western Dubuque)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scrappy 6-0 lead guard who does a little bit of everything, Kraft averaged 6.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.4 steals a game as a junior for the Bobcats. He embraces physicality and moves his feet well on the defensive end. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(251) PG [player_tooltip player_id='2511576' first='Mason' last='Johnson'] (Norwalk)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson averaged just 1.7 points and 0.7 assists a game as a junior, but was a standout at the Winterset Shootout in June and will be asked to step into a much larger role as a senior for a Warriors team that lost a lot of production. He's a smart guard who doesn't get sped up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(253) PG [player_tooltip player_id='2511611' first='Kyler' last='White'] (North Fayette Valley)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 5-11 guard, White isn't much of a scorer (3.8 points per game), but he does a great job getting his teammates involved, dishing out 4.8 assists a game and posting a 2.12 assist-to-turnover ratio as a junior for the TigerHawks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(255) PG [player_tooltip player_id='2511580' first='Cameron' last='Gibson'] (Chariton)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another lead guard who loves to get his teammates involved, Gibson dished out 8.0 assists a game as a junior to lead a potent Chargers offensive attack. He's quick, a good ball-handler, and has great vision.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(263) PG [player_tooltip player_id='2511607' first='Bryce' last='Westemeier'] (Waterloo West)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Westemeier (pictured) was a solid contributor as a junior for the Wahawks, averaging 7.6 points and shooting 39.6% from behind the arc. He shoots it well off both the dribble and the catch, and showed some ability as a secondary playmaking threat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(264) SG [player_tooltip player_id='2392894' first='Jordan' last='Ainley'] (Clear Lake)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ainley didn't get a ton of run as a junior for the Lions, but he had a productive spring and summer with Iowa Frost and should step into a more significant role as a shooting threat as a senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(269) PG [player_tooltip player_id='2379807' first='Johnny' last='Adams'] (Riceville)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Adams is a volume scoring guard, a 6-0 downhill attacker who averaged 17.8 points and 3.5 assists a game as a junior to lead the Wildcats in both categories. He's capable of shooting it from deep but is certainly at his best when he's attacking the rim off the dribble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
