<p>While at the Berkner Shootout, I noticed some guards stood out with an advanced skillset. With good athleticism, the ability to score or running the offense, these guards showed they are in for big season. These guards are definitely players you would want on your team and they are guards to keep an eye out on this season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">One of the best pure point guards in Texas, Dillon displayed all the signs a good guard should have. He's good at setting up his teammates with sharp on point passes. Has good body control when driving in the paint and also a tight handle. His handle is sharp and it makes it hard for defenders to keep up with him. He's a smart finisher at the rim and doesn't force bad shots. Another good part of his game is his shooting ability knocking down multiple threes and mid ranges. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A crafty and lanky guard, Grigsby showed his potential to be really special during this event. Showed off his IQ with good spacing and making accurate passes. Has a good crossover and he showed this by crossing over into blow by layups and pull up jumpers. Also showed off his athleticism with dunks, soaring in for rebounds and contesting shots at the rim. He's good at drawing fouls when driving into the lane and finishing. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Reece played with a high motor and brought energy to his team along with his skills. He has a strong ability to handle the ball making it hard to steal the ball away from him. He uses his handle to create opportunities for himself when driving in the lane or on the perimeter. Was good at making the right reads coming off of screens and gathered a lot of assists with his passing ability. What stood out the most was his confidence in his shooting by taking many deep threes and knocking them down. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Randle had good composure and never got sped up when running the offense. He made the right plays and passes dishing out a couple tough assists. He knows when to flip the switch and played hard defense racking up some steals and deflections during the games. He excels at driving and cutting to the basket scoring majority of his points with finishes in the paint. He's also is a good communicator on the court by visibly talking with his teammates on offense and defense. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Hopkins displayed his ability to be an all around guard. On offense, his handle was quick and shifty which helped him crossover or blow by defenders to finish in the paint. Has the ability to make on point passes from the perimeter or the paint. Good at playing off two, making smart plays off the jump stop. On defense he was aggressive and attentive deflecting multiple passes. Showed off his athleticism with challenging players at the rim and recording some big blocks. </p>
