There is no hesitation when Lee shoots the ball. Some of his three-point attempts come from NBA range. His catch and shoot attribute is the best part of his game, especially when he gets his feet set. His follow-through is also a thing of beauty. While Lee may seem like a primary offensive player, his long arms also make him dynamic on the defensive end, both on the perimeter and interior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2334701"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67462615139a4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2334701' first='Drew' last='Dodson'] is a pure shooting guard. He has a very quick release and knows whether he's going to shoot before the ball even touches his hands. Dodson's IQ offensively is elite. He understands the spacing of the game very well, which is why he makes fundamental plays. With that, Dodson knows where to find the soft spots in a defense while making cuts along the baseline. Having a great sense of how an offense should function is a real gem to have in a player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1984187"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67462615139e9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1984187' first='Maurice' last='Wicks-Wesley'] plays with constant energy on every play. On offense, he consistently moves around, trying to get open. He uses this asset to help him shoot the ball with confidence. Wicks-Wesley's range is deadly, which can be a bad matchup for zone defenses. On defense, he's definitely someone I would not want to be matched up with. His timely jump on the ball against ball handlers makes them pass almost immediately. It can be hard to teach effort, and this 5'10 point guard gives 110 percent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2050195"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6746261513a2a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2050195' first='Roman' last='Taylor'] is everything one looks for in a point guard. On offense, he always has his head up and is looking for open teammates in which he excels. He's also very quick and craving fast break opportunities where he tends to get plenty of layups. His jumper is on point, especially when he sets his feet. Taylor's defensive might be my favorite part of his game. He not only can slide his feet well to stay in front of his matchup, but also keeps his hands up and active for steals. Taylor plays both ends of the floor at an exceptional level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2334738"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6746261513a83"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2334738' first='Daniel' last='Brown'] may be listed as a shooting guard, but his 6'3'' frame has allowed him to play power forward in previous years. The athletic senior knows how to be physical down low offensively and defensively. This is his bread and butter, where he uses his height to his advantage. Brown has recorded multiple double-double performances during his high school tenure, stat-stuffing points and rebounds. Combining physicality with size, Brown makes a great defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

Here are a few guards that have caught my attention in the rankings. There are a couple knockdown shooters up in Northern Nevada, along with some vigorous guards down in Southern Nevada. When I watch the tape on these seniors, I believe I shouldn't be the only one noticing their play.
