A nationally ranked prospect, he's already capturing the attention of high major programs with his impressive ability to score the basketball at multiple levels, run an offense in the half-court, and guard at a high level on the other end of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below are five more <em>Point Guards</em> to watch from the latest rankings update:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2542820"],"_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-68cca2050f1cc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dodani, a lead guard out of <em>Greens Farms Academy</em>, checks in at <strong><em>#64</em></strong> overall and <strong><em>#8</em></strong> among the <em>point guards</em>. Dodani plays hard all the time, giving consistent effort and not letting anyone outwork him. He makes an impact on the defensive glass and is a quality perimeter defender that does a good job of moving laterally to keep opposing ball-handlers out of the paint. Offensively, he has a quick first step as a driver, shows a good understanding of how to deliver passes on time and or target, and is capable of finishing over size in the paint. On top of that, he does a nice job of playing through contact both as a finisher and as a creator.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2717049"],"_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-68cca2050f233"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Costello, a lead guard out of <em>Boston College High School</em>, checks in at <strong><em>#111</em></strong> overall and <strong><em>#11</em></strong> among the <em>point guards</em>. Costello is a great mover in the half-court, showing a keen understanding of how to cut off drives and get open without the basketball. These skills will become even more important as defenses key in on him and his ability to knock down shots from behind the perimeter. He's got a quick release, is always shot ready on the catch, and knows how to step behind screens to get his shot off. On the other end of the floor, he takes pride in being a point of attack defender that doesn't give up an inch of space to opposing ball-handlers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2569679"],"_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-68cca2050f287"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Abel, a lead guard out of <em>Notre Dame High School - West Haven</em>, checks in at <strong><em>#116</em></strong> overall and <strong><em>#12</em></strong> among the <em>point guards</em>. Abel is a heady ball-handler that plays with another gear in transition and shows the ability to knock down shots at multiple levels. He changes speeds and directions off the bounce, can finish in a variety of ways around the rim, and does a nice job of finding teammates in scoring spots off of his drives. Defensively, he makes plays on the ball and in passing lanes that lead to easy steals and transition scoring opportunities.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2883060"],"_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-68cca2050f2dc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McCrae, a lead guard out of <em>Milton Academy</em>, checks in at <strong><em>#126</em></strong> overall and <strong><em>#14</em></strong> among the <em>point guards</em>. McCrae plays with a good understanding of how to get other involved and when to get his own as a scorer. He does a nice job of using ball screens to turn the corner, gets by the initial defender with a quick first step, and plays with creativity as a finisher over size. He keeps his eyes up the floor and is a playmaker in transition. Defensively, he can really sit in a stance and guard, showing impressive lateral mobility and quick hands, both of which allow him to create turnovers at a high rate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2571890"],"_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-68cca2050f32f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Koh, a lead guard out of the <em>Groton School</em>, checks in at <strong><em>#135</em></strong> overall and <strong><em>#15</em></strong> among the <em>point guards</em>. Koh has developed his game nicely over the last year and continues to stand out with his ability to make shots from behind the arc. He's able to make threes in catch and shoot situations and as a movement shooter, while also showing the ability to attack the paint off bad closeouts, where he makes plays for himself and others. Defensively, he can guard either spot in the back-court and does a nice job of playing angles and being in the right spots in rotation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keep an eye out this week as we continue our positional breakdowns for the <em>Class of 2028</em>!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
