PGH Prep Jamboree Big Guard Standouts

These were a few guards who stood out last weekend in Pittsburgh at the Verbal Commits Pitt Prep Jamboree.    Yang showcased his ability to score the basketball in many different ways throughout the event. He is always a threat to convert from beyond the arc and if his feet are set good luck!! He is becoming a more improved defender compared to last year. Yang also showed some flashes creating chances for others with his passing. He likes to squirrels his way around the position himself in good on the floor to make an impact on the game. Yang should be a priority for low major guards in need of scoring depth.     Parlow is an all around utility guard who does whatever is needed to help contribute to the good of the team. He gets downhill and can score around the rim. Parlow has no issues taking charges and sacrificing his body to help get more offensive possessions. He has a good blend of size and strength which he uses to his advantage. Parlow does a nice job of touching paint on the attack. He is a prospect who should be a priority for low major programs.     Gros was one of the most captivating guards at the event. He plays with great pace and is very shifty with the rock in his hands. Gros scored the rock at all three level and was a threat as a bunch scorer. He is a threat make plays with his vision of the floor. The southpaw shoots a smooth ball and converts frequently. I would like to see Gros look to make homerun plays less because in most of those instances they led to turnovers. Gros is a prospect who should be a priorty for LM+/MM- programs.     Goljovic made a killing from behind the arc converting early and often. He did a nice job screening off the ball and freeing up his teammates. Goljovic is confident scoring off the bounce from three. Goljovic hunts for his shot the same way a prospector mines for gold. He also showed that he could stop on the dime at mid-range spots. He filled the lane in transition. He also was in the right spots to come up with steals .I would like to see him improve as an on-ball defender I think his foot speed can get a step or two faster. He is a prospect who should be on low majors radars for the class of 2027.     Pavlovic is a jumbo point guard who has a great grasp of the game. He made plays for himself and others frequently. Pavlovic was in the right spots to gather steals. He was able to get rebounds and positioned himself close to the bucket to shag them and than start to run the break. He scored the ball in an array of ways. Pavlovic is a prospect who should be on division one radars.     Howell is a poised scorer who had the ability to score the basketball in a plethora of ways throughout the two games I saw of him. He has good size and length at the two guard spot. Howell showed that he needs to be respected from behind the three point line converting on several chances from there. He also showed that he can play on the ball and found teammates for scoring looks of their own. Howell was active on defense and found ways to gather steals on several different occasions. He is a prospect who should be on the radar of division two and junior college programs.
