Guard Play to Watch Tonight

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's GAMEDAY, and we want to feature a few guards that are a definite watch tonight. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1724358' first='Troy' last='Kaufusi'], Orem</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kaufusi will be tested on both ends of the court against Judge Memorial's tough guard unit. This club season, he's shown an impressive ability to find optimal shooting locations. His court savvy near the basket is noteworthy, and if he can vary his offensive approach, he's poised for a standout performance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1958283' first='Luke' last='Rice'], Park City</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rice has been putting together a fantastic high school career. He has the talent to play at the next level. He is among those rare guards that does not need to make a ton of three-pointers to get 15+ points in a game. Furthermore, his court vision and ability to create opportunities for himself and his teammates make him a valuable asset to any team. His all-around game and consistent performance show a high basketball IQ, and he's someone to keep an eye on as he continues to develop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2782132' first='Nash' last='Jackson'], Maple Mountain</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jackson is listed as a forward, but he's more of a guard or wing, and he has a chance to lead his Maple Mountain team. He possesses solid shooting ability and demonstrates strength when driving to the basket. Keep an eye on him as he could be one of the top rebounders in 5A, and he could be in contention for double-doubles every game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2844513' first='Dylan' last='Kartchner'], Summit Academy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With a fresh coaching staff at the helm, Summit Academy is aiming to make a significant impact this season. [player_tooltip player_id='2844513' first='Dylan' last='Kartchner'] is poised to be a key contributor in their quest for success. He demonstrated strong shooting abilities last year, and we anticipate an increase in his three-point attempts this season. Kartchner has the potential to be a reliable double-digit scorer, and his contributions could be instrumental in leading SAHS to victories.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2400417' first='Korver' last='Van Beekum'], Ben Lomond</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Van Beekum had some really good games this past season, and with more opportunities, his scoring numbers are poised to increase. He is a dangerous catch-and-shoot player and also displays crafty finishing ability inside the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
