<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2029 watch list got updated on Monday with a little over 50 prospects in the update. The shooting guard position has the potential to make an impact during their debut varsity season. Here are the 2029 shooting guards to track this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2929160' first='Kyle' last='Adjei'], 5'10 Kipp Newark Collegiate Academy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Adjei has the potential to play either guard spot, which makes him an intriguing prospect to watch in the class. The 5'10 guard has a nice handle, which he uses to blow by his defender and finishes well around the basket. Adjei can also score in the mid-range and moves well without the ball in his hands. He has the ability to run the offense at times and slides his feet on the defensive end. Adjei is a skilled guard prospect who should impact the game at both ends of the floor throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2884537' first='Ahmad' last='Ayyash'] &amp; [player_tooltip player_id='2884538' first='Omar' last='Ayyash'], 6'0 Ocean Township</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ahmad and [player_tooltip player_id='2884538' first='Omar' last='Ayyash'] had solid summers and are looking to transfer it over into the winter. The 6'0 guards have a good first step, which they use to get to their spots on the floor and finish nicely around the rim. [player_tooltip player_id='2884537' first='Ahmad' last='Ayyash'] can also score in the mid-range, while [player_tooltip player_id='2884538' first='Omar' last='Ayyash'] moves well without the ball in his hands. They are both underrated defenders and rarely force shots in the half court. Ahmad and [player_tooltip player_id='2884538' first='Omar' last='Ayyash'] have the ability to play either spot on the wing, which will help their stocks throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2884582' first='Carson' last='Costello'], 6'2 Atlantic Christian</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Costello is one of the top shooters in the class and should put it on display this winter. The 6'2 guard has a smooth release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Costello is more than just a shooter as he can also put the ball on the floor and can draw contact in the paint. He is an underrated passer and has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor. Costello is a sharpshooting guard prospect who should torch the nets from distance this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2451138' first='Omar' last='Dejesus'], 5'11 Trenton Central</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dejesus will get the opportunity to play on and off the ball this season, which will help his development this season. The 5'11 guard uses his handle to find his spot on the floor and has a nice touch in the mid-range. Dejesus moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open jumpers and layups in the half court. He finds his open teammates in the half court and gets deflections on the defensive end. Dejesus can play either guard spot and should put that on display this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2887076' first='Jordan' last='Mason'], 6'0 St. Joe's Metuchen</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mason had a strong summer and is looking to carry over his performance into the season. The 6'0 guard has a quick first step, which he uses to blow by his defender and can finish through contact around the rim. Mason is more than just a slasher as he has a nice release on his jumper and sets his feet before he shoots. He is an underrated passer and is a tough on-ball defender. Mason is a gritty guard prospect who should make plays at both ends of the floor throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
