<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops Circuit made one of it's last stops of the Spring Season in the Chicago Land Area over Memorial Day weekend. The Prep Hoops Illinois team had full coverage in the 17U, 16U, and 15U divisions. I had the opportunity to witness a full weekend's worth of games in Northbrook, IL for the 15U division. The class of 2028 is full of some really good guard play. Let's take a look at specifically a handful of true point guards that showcased their skills. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2403230"],"_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-68372f4bb5d6f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Played with poise all weekend mostly running the 1 position for a solid team that made the Semi-Finals. Puts the speed boosters on in transition and can make plays within a fast pace style of offense. In the first game of the weekend was really sharing it well off turnovers. Earned his own keep picking off a couple passes himself which turned into offense. Possesses good anticipation and plays within the natural flow of the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2509457"],"_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-68372f4bb5e00"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Watched him in a couple games and was consistent all weekend long. Had a game high 17 in a blowout win early morning Saturday game. Tough to stay in front of defensively. A natural playmaker within flow of the game. He is on my PG list but you could play him in any of the 1-3 spots offensively or defensively. Has great bounce around the rim. Shoots it well. One of the quickest sets of hands I saw this weekend while handling or guarding. Fun player to watch and has a bright future ahead.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2828416"],"_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-68372f4bb5e7f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Possesses quickness with feel for the game. Smooth but shifty handler that has a speedy first step. Caught the late morning game on Saturday and handled mostly the point position. Got off to an active high energy early start. Was able to get to the paint and make a couple kickouts for assists. Had another rip away steal and then take coast to coast.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2839593"],"_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-68372f4bb5efa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Really strong frame. Can bang against guards and win battles because he knows how to use his strength effectively. Utilized his back to the basket to turn and score. Had a couple steals and takes coast to coast in transition turning defense into offense. Offensively made a tough 2 hard dribble elbow jumper. Moves well off the ball. Cut to an opening off an EOB for an easy lay in and another cut through in the lane for a feed from the corner to finish. Plays the game fundamentally with solid IQ.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2531995"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2871944,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-68372f4bb5f97"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Plays on a squad with 2 other guards that are highly effective ball handlers as well. Can really put the peddle to the metal with the ball or defensively guarding it. Liked his tenacity to get up and guard or push the ball in transition. Shifty dribbling it and possesses good eyes to see openings on the floor. Stopped and popped from mid-range in fast break action and made a tough 1 dribble pull back from 3. Overall is hardnosed and feeds off the competitiveness of the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
