7 Guards Impacting Games

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1567964' first='Isa' last='El-Amin'] - After spending a few games this summer watching [program_tooltip program_id='2075431' first='D1' last='Minnesota'] 2025 3SSB team and El-Amin set-up teammates over and over for buckets it left no doubt in my mind his creation ability. The five-foot-eleven-inch 2025 guard however has been on tear scoring for the Skippers in high school play. Over a 3 game stretch around the holidays and into 2025 he scored over 30 points per game and made 64% of his 3-pointers on 8.6 attempts per. Quick first step and quick ball handling has made defenders on their heels giving him plenty of room to operate.</p>   <p><a href="https://twitter.com/Isaelamin5/status/1878168650567373200?t=LPawp4aYXnU6c3Ut2ApZZg&s=19">https://twitter.com/Isaelamin5/status/1878168650567373200?t=LPawp4aYXnU6c3Ut2ApZZg&s=19</a></p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2617276' first='TJ' last='Starkey'] - The 2025 five-foot-nine-inch guard from Rocori Starkey has put together a decent stat line of 18.6 points, 4.1 assists and 2.9 rebounds through 8 games. Hardnose defender, traditional point guard like player with the ability to shoot from the perimeter as he navigates ball screens. Starkey utilizes the mid-range well, and is a good passer.</p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2560499' first='Kevin' last='Wilson Jr.'] - KJ played serious minutes as a 8th grader for Tartan last season averaging 8.9 points in 14 recorded games. He even hit a barge of 3-pointers versus Rock Ridge making 7 in that game. This season the 2028 five-foot-ten-inch freshman has put together some solid scoring outputs and is a part of the 12-0 Tartan team. Speed, quickness and always a threat to shoot from the perimeter has made Wilson very effective so far.</p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2394170' first='Alex' last='Loos'] - While covering Prep Hoops Next events I got to witness Loos play a number of times with 58 Hoops. Now seeing his play for Goodhue, not much has changed for the six-foot-three-inch Freshman. He's scoring 18.7 points, grabbing 5 rebounds, dishing out almost 2 assists, collecting 2 steals and making over 60% of his shots. Loos has good skill at just about everything, and although just a freshman, he's more mature than many of his opponents.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/loo46580240/status/1878987047312187708?t=ONudd5x7058t8n45fPzDPQ&s=19 </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2524646' first='Griffin' last='Epema'] - The six-foot-one-inch guard from Montevideo has found himself on our radar again and this time Griffin had a quadruple double with 17 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists and 10 steals versus Redwood Valley. The 2027 sophomore just does everything for his team and currently they are at 11-1.</p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2120500' first='Eli' last='Moseman'] - The six-foot 2026 guard from St. Paul Central went for 31 points Wednesday night versus Highland Park a game after his 22-point, 10 rebound performance versus White Bear Lake. Moseman is a good outside shooter, cuts well to the basket to give his teammates chances to hit him for lay-ups, and uses ball fakes and craft to score inside.</p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1951088' first='Luke' last='Roschen'] - Roschen is a six-foot-two-inch guard from Goodhue and plays AAU with Minnesota Lightning Dahl. The Goodhue quarterback is a solid athlete with ability to finish above the rim on the break, is a solid scorer and good distributor as he sets up teammates with on point passes. He uses a first step move to get to the rim, and is an accurate shooter. Averaging nearly 16 points, 7 rebounds, and just over 4 assists per game through 13 games he leads the attack for Goodhue. </p>   <p><a href="https://twitter.com/lroschen33/status/1879298466121408851">https://twitter.com/lroschen33/status/1879298466121408851</a></p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NYm3Nve1V8&ab_channel=DerekRoschen </div></figure>
