2026 Rankings: Deep Dive Off-Guards

Here is a group of off-guards deeper down the rankings who are deserving of some looks this spring. From versatility, size, and shooting, to defense and a big motor, each of these guys brings a winning quality to the floor.    He's a good-sized guard at 6-foot-4 with some decent athleticism who can do a little scoring, some playmaking, and is athletic enough to make some plays on the glass and at the rim. He shows some nice vision from in the half-court to skipping the ball ahead on the break and plays a pretty versatile role for Lake Stevens. Aside from playmaking, rebounding, and slashing, Pierpoint can play any position for the Vikings, guards multiple positions, and contributes from each role in different ways while playing unselfishly and with a good motor.     The Issaquah wing is a very athletic 6-foot-5 hustler who rebounds and can defend multiple positions. He has excellent explosiveness, whether leaping to pull down boards, attacking the offensive glass for putbacks, or defending along the outside. The lefty has shown he can knock down shots in space but really stands out as an athletic gap-filler who can defend multiple positions and create second-chance opportunities.     Gledhill is a standout shooter with exceptional size on the wings who can get his shots off under tight coverage. He has shown a quick release from deep and can be lights out off the catch. He scored 20.8 points per game with Summit Classical Christian this past season as their main offensive weapon but really profiles as a long shooter at the next level. He sunk 40% of his attempts from three as a junior on 199 attempts and is just a kid you can't let get settled in space along the perimeter.     Kelly's a long wing who shows a ton of potential on both ends. He's got the length to swarm ballhandlers on the perimeter, can take some gambles with his wingspan to poke at the ball, and has shown great ability to recover after getting beat or taking those chances to swipe at the ball. He's shown some real fluidity attacking off the catch and slipping through gaps to the rim with his long strides, and is just a kid who can affect the game in a lot of areas with his unselfishness offensively and his instincts to attack the ball defensively and on the glass.     Bennion is a tough player who has really excelled on the defensive end, leading his team last season with 3.2 steals per game. He recorded a steal in all but two of their games and notched 2+ steals in 17 games. He's a guy who can get up into ballhandlers, take advantage of loose handles, and play disciplined while waiting for openings in the dribble to make a play. He stands at just 5-foot-11 but has plus athleticism, is a real strong kid, and has the ability to find his groove offensively, spacing the floor and attacking gaps with purpose.
