<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The leadership qualities of a team can vary depending on the team and position, but every successful basketball program needs a high-IQ point guard to keep things running smoothly. Here are some point guards who have especially impressed with their decision-making, skill, and court awareness.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2883121"],"_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":2883680,"_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-68522c440b325"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Robinson has showed up to Bossier and made an immediate impact as he fits perfectly into their style of play. Game after game he made play after play. He is as tough nosed a player as you can find. He is intense and works hard on both sides of the ball. He is impressive because he plays the game with an intesnity that travels through his team mates and frustrates opposing players. He does not slow down and never lets up. Bossier is loaded with talent, and he is using his weapons to keep the winning culture at the B in tact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532368"],"_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-68522c440b37c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Small has exceptional ball-handling and demonstrates a high basketball IQ on every possession. He is a versatile three-level scorer with a smooth shooting stroke that makes him a constant threat. His game adapts based on what the defense allows—he can hit outside shots to break a zone or break down defenses in one-on-one situations. Small is unselfish and looks to involve teammates, but he's capable of scoring in key spots to keep defenses honest. Remember the name. He is a rising talent in the state and will surely turn heads this upcoming season as Marksville could make another deep run to State. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1543668"],"_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-68522c440b3dd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Evans is a player you need to see live. He has a natural ability to manage the game and control the offense, making it enjoyable to watch his decision-making. As shifty as any guard in the state, he also possesses a sharp outside shot that keeps defenders honest. He uses his low center of gravity to effectively get to his spots and is tough to guard because of it. Evans plays well off two feet, giving him multiple scoring options—he can pull up, finish with a floater, or create for his teammates. He's one of the best guards in the state and has the talent to play college basketball at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1679471"],"_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-68522c440b425"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fisher is a traditional point guard who can effectively move the ball from baseline to the top of the key, helping to start and organize the offense. What sets him apart is his ability to do so with minimal dribbling, allowing the game to flow smoothly and stay under control. He plays with a quiet, focused demeanor, executing his role efficiently and with precision. Fisher is capable of impacting the game through scoring or facilitating, making him a dual-threat. He will be an important piece in Neville's plans for success this season, and his cerebral approach makes him well-prepared for the challenge ahead.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":2883699,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Xavier Brown","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'6u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Jena High School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68522c440b4c6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brown played hard in every game, using his speed and athleticism to create scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates. He is an elite guard and a clear leader on the floor. Despite being undersized, he uses his low center of gravity to turn the corner effectively and finish at the rim with layups and floaters. He also works to make the game easier for the post players, which leads to consistent success for his team. His effort and leadership make him a player to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
