NEPSAC Babson Showcase 2026 Lead Guards

Just a few 2026 lead guards whose play stood out at NEPSAC Babson Camp.    Nash is a high-octane scorer who had no problem letting his offense do the talking. He uses his quickness to blow by defenders to get paint touches. He spends his fair share of time at the foul line. Nash showed that he can find the rim from behind the three point line. Nash showed some flashes as a facilitator. I would like to see Nash become more efficient with his output at times I feel like he can just be getting shots up to get them up. Nash is a prospect who should garner low major attention.     Keel is a vintage floor general who brings a great deal of experience and never being fazed by the moment due to his battle tested career in the NEPSAC. He has great chemistry with his teammates and can set them up effortlessly for scoring chances of their own. He also showed that he can score for himself getting to spots off the bounce. He does an elite job of drawing the defense on to him which frees up his teammates for success. He thrives at quarterbacking the squad. Keel showed flashes of hitting shots at crucial stages of the game. He should be a priority for low major programs in need of a true one who can help win ball games.     Williams added a nice spark with his play. He is a quick twitch guard who does excels making plays for himself and others. He scored the basketball in a multitude of ways. He was a threat to knock down shots off the ball. Williams has a knack for making plays. Defenses struggled to keep him out of the lane. He is vastly under recruited and is a coaches dream.     Malachi impressed with his scoring prowess. He hit timely shots and took whatever the defense gave him. Malachi did most of his damage in the mid-range or hunting shots off the ball as a catch & shooter. He also showed flashes as a facilitator. He would be a great pickup at the small college level and wouldn't be shocked if he sneaks his way into the scholarship level.     O'Connell is a sound guard who has his fingerprints all over the game for his team. He has an effective mid-range shot that he showed he can convert. O'Connell is a crafty finisher around the cup and use's his "quick-slowness" to catch defenders when they are sleeping. He has a tight handle and keeps the ball on the string. His activeness on the defensive end allows him to gather steals. I like the pulse he has on the game and is has some type of swagger about himself whenever he steps foot on the floor. O'Connell should be a priority for division two schools.     Bellot is a guard who has a great grasp of the game. He effortlessly finds others for scoring chances for others. Bellot is an active on ball defender and can turn defense to offense in a matter of seconds. Bellot was able to hit shots off the ball from three.He has a nice size at the lead guard spot. He stuffs the stat sheet and does a little bit of everything for his CATS squad. He is effective playing the two man game in the half-court and has no issues using ball screens. Bellot should be a priority for MM- programs.     Hailey provided a spark with his scoring time and time again he found different ways to put points on the board. He is effective getting downhill on the attack and scoring around the cup. He was a threat to convert shots from behind the arc. Hailey has a nice feel for the game and breaks down the game well sharing the sugar with his teammates. He is adept to change speeds on the attack. Hailey is a prospect who should be a priory for low major programs in need of a slippery guard.
