Reviewing the Rankings: 2026 Top Ten PGs in Louisiana

When you look into any state and their rankings, people look for the top player. However, when one dives into the rankings, the point guards are some of the most sought out. Louisiana has a great crop of point guards in this 2026 class. These preps are worth their weight in gold and all have bright futures at the one.    It wasn't that long ago when Louisiana's top player was a point guard. Manning is that for the 2026 class. When you think of a guard who puts pressure on a defense constantly, Manning is that guard. Autrail can come off the high screen, and make a pinpoint pass on one possession and a three on another. His basketball IQ is through the roof and he is in constant, play-making mode.     When it comes to a point guard who can flat out score, Magee may be the best one regardless of class. Marsh Madness 2024 was his canvas and he painted a masterpiece. Magee can pull up from anywhere 22 feet in and score. He is a dynamic handler of the ball in transition and finds his finishers. Dwight is a very good lead guard.     Nelson has not missed an opportunity to impress at the point guard during the travel/showcase season. He has worked tirelessly and everyone is beginning to see it. Cooper can make the flashy pass look routine and the fundamental pass look amazing. His pinpoint dimes have created easy buckets for many. His game, mixed with his upper body development and extended range, has made Cooper a tougher cover.     Lucas places pressure on defenses with his use of the three point shot. Ironically enough, that opens up his distribution game. His ability to put the rock on the floor and find others when they spot up or cut is a result of how much of a threat his long range shot is. Being a good shooter allows Gavin to facilitate during games.     Charlot is a player who puts pressure on defenses consistently. When he has the ball, he makes the best play for the team. Oftentimes, the best thing is to keep it in his hands. However, Chris knows his personnel well. He knows who to feed on the break, when to kick the ball in the half court, and when to score. Charlot is as talented as they come at the point guard.     Thrower is a point guard who uses his quickness and court awareness to be effective at the point. He is a good defender and is very good in trapping and man-to-man situations. Sebastian can turn defense into offense quickly. When he is in transition, he delivers passes that give his teammates the opportunity to score. Thrower can also shoot the three which is a big asset as well.     The Parkway point was thrust the ball when he got to campus and has been the lead point since. Caleb has always been a good shooter, so he has been very good from behind the arc. Evans is now very good at using his handle to get into the lane and finishing or finding others. Caleb is a difference-making point and makes the players around him better.     Mitchell is a scoring point who loves to handle in transition. When he gets a steal or an outlet, he is pushing the ball intensely down the floor. Mitchell puts pressure on the rim and makes referees make the discussion on a foul or not. Kadar can also attack from the wings and find others after penetrating the paint. He is a strong point who creates a ton of contact.     McDonald is the best defensive point guard in north Louisiana. His ball pressure creates extra offensive opportunities for the Gators numerous times a game. McDonald is very good at surveying the court and looking for areas to attack. When he does attack, he takes hits well and either finishes or goes to the charity stripe. When it comes to man-to-man defense, he is as good as it gets.     Durham is a state championship point guard who is good under pressure. He handles game pressure well and is very good when it comes to making plays, or shots, when they are needed. De'avery is good from behind the arc and may settle for them at times. However, he knows when to take over scoring or facilitating. Durham is a good point guard as close to a pure point as they come.    To see the full list of point guards, view the rankings at Prep Hoops Louisiana page or subscribe to PrepHoops.com.
