MADE Hoops Jordan Holiday Classic: Guard Standouts

Presented by MADE Hoops, the Jordan Holiday Classic returned to Baruch College in New York City and brought us a slate of competitive matchups that consisted of some of New Jersey's nationally ranked players. In matchups that saw some of New Jersey's best programs compete against some of the better programs across the nation, let's take a look at some guys at the guard position that stood out throughout the course of the weekend's action.    [player_tooltip player_id='1411409' first='Omari' last='Moore']'s shot making ability was on full display in this matchup against Nazareth (NY), particularly from three point range. Primarily operating off the ball and playing off different types of actions, Moore did a good job of knocking down shots from three both off the catch and off the dribble. Moore was also able to get in the paint a few times and show off his touch around the rim, hitting a couple of floaters.     Despite a rough shooting day from three point range, by his standard, [player_tooltip player_id='1958321' first='Brandon' last='Lee'] was able to get going by getting in the paint and attacking the rim. A pretty efficient day around the rim, Lee was able to use his size and strength to his advantage to finish effectively at the basket and get to the free throw line.     Backed by both a 25 point and a 30 point performance over the weekend, [player_tooltip player_id='1595679' first='Deron' last='Rippey Jr.']'s explosiveness, athleticism, and shot making ability was on full display in matchups against Phelps (PA) and OSL (NY). Displaying good scoring intangibles, Rippey Jr. got going being able to attack downhill and finish athletically at the basket as well as knock down open shots from three point range, including a first half against against OSL (NY) that saw him go 6/7 from three, both off the catch and off the dribble.     Across two games, [player_tooltip player_id='1865348' first='Jaen' last='Chatman'] averaged 14.5 points alongside 6 assists while shooting 50% from the field. Chatman displayed a healthy balance between scoring the ball and facilitating and getting others involved. Seeming able to get downhill almost every time, Chatman did a good job of getting in the paint and be able to use his strength and athleticism to finish at the rim as well as draw help defenders and distribute the ball to his open teammates.     [player_tooltip player_id='1578536' first='Jaysean' last='Williams'] shined in his ability to score within in the flow of The Patrick School's offense. Being effective off the ball and knocking down multiple open looks from three point range, one that included the game winner, as well as being able to attack on dribble drives and finish at the rim through contact, Williams was a pivotal role in the Celtics offense.
