<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">#FireandIceFL had some outstanding guard play, and here are a few that stood out…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2863916,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/05/PH-Jeremiah-Brown-C-1.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/05/PH-Jeremiah-Brown-C-1.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2863916" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Max Dean</strong> (6'4/Wing/2026/TNT HOOPSQUAD) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: maxdean04</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Max63967824</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Max is a dynamic wing who consistently fills up the stat sheet with his ability to contribute in a variety of ways. He offers a modern skill set as a shot-maker, slasher, and playmaker. He can create his own shot off the dribble, hit contested jumpers, and score efficiently in isolation. He brings a lot of energy to the floor and is at his best when looking to score the rock. He had many talking about his game throughout the weekend, as he was one of the best scorers from behind the arc.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2863917,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/05/PH-Sean-Storr-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/05/PH-Sean-Storr-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2863917" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Sean Storr</strong> (6'0/CG/2026/Q6 All Stars Black) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Straight_Bucket</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Straight_bxcket</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Sean is a crafty and smooth combo guard who impacts both ends of the floor. He scores it well from all levels, but his ability to impact the game with his scoring arsenal is impressive when he utilizes his burst in the open floor to blow by defenders and play in the paint. He has a good feel for the game, a solid skill set, and a high IQ that allows him to be a really good shot-creating guard who puts pressure on the defense, giving himself space to operate in the half-court and in transition.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2863918,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/05/PH-Jackson-Byam-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/05/PH-Jackson-Byam-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2863918" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Jackson Byam</strong> (6'1/Point Guard/2026/Elevate) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: _toofficial.j</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jackson has a solid game at the lead guard position as he is tough to contain and keep out of the paint. He has an advanced feel for the game and does an exceptional job playing with pace. He operates well as the PG and does a good job involving his teammates. He is fluid off the dribble with tight handles in pick-and-roll action and makes good decisions as the ball-handler coming off screens. He had a good weekend, but there was a moment when he turned the ball over and jogged back on defense, which is something that is not tolerated from point guards, and it should not be something that Jackson tolerates from himself as good as he was throughout the weekend.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2863919,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/05/PH-Aiden-Curry-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/05/PH-Aiden-Curry-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2863919" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Aiden Curry</strong> (6'3/CG/2026/Mikel Brown JR. Elite Basketball) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: _TheOnlyAce1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @_TheOnlyAce1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Aiden was one of the most reliable lead guards I saw throughout the weekend. He has a high PG IQ and understands how to adjust to different paces while playing at his own speed. He was one of the better playmakers at the position as he has vision, court awareness, and the ability to make high-difficulty passes even under pressure. He brings toughness to the position and doesn't back down from anything. I like the fact that he competes on every possession.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2863920,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/05/PH-Neomar-Flores-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/05/PH-Neomar-Flores-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2863920" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2396992' first='Neomar' last='Flores']</strong> (6'0/PG/2027/[program_tooltip program_id='2076371' first='Showtime' last='Ballers']) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: neode1.45</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @NeomarFlores4</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Neomar is a solid and reliable lead guard who can facilitate the offense. He doesn't have to score to impact winning on his squad, even though he can score if needed. He is at his best when orchestrating and ensuring his team stays in rhythm. He is a poised and balanced floor general who can be trusted with the keys to the squad.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2863921,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/05/PH-Corbin-Francois-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/05/PH-Corbin-Francois-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2863921" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Corbin Francois</strong> (6'2/CG/2026/Next Step Elite) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Cxf3_____</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Corbin brings his multi-level scoring arsenal to the floor every time he plays. He can play on or off the ball and does a nice job of being active as a cutter or looking for ways to get open for shots when on the wing. When he is at the lead guard spot, he has a canny ability to involve his teammates and equally distribute the rock across the board. He has a good balance of scoring and facilitating, but made his mark when he was putting up points.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2863922,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/05/PH-Cruz-Kamalzadeh-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/05/PH-Cruz-Kamalzadeh-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2863922" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Cruz Kamalzadeh</strong> (5'10/CG/2027/Harris Athletics) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: cruz.k13</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @CruzK113</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Cruz has an emerging scoring arsenal and can not only create offense off the bounce, but he can also heat up quickly and put points on the board. He scores it well from all levels and showed that he can really produce from behind the arc. His combination of ball-handling ability and his quick 1st step gives him intriguing potential as a shot creator, despite being small. He needs to continue to work on elevating his play on the defensive end of the floor.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
