<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2027 rankings update came out on Monday with nearly 240 prospects being ranked. Point guard was the position most seen in the update with 71 prospects in the rankings. Here are 2027 Non-Public A point guards to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2201947' first='Anthony' last='Gonzalez'], 6'1 Seton Hall Prep</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gonzalez is one of the top point guard prospects in the class and should put it on display this season. The 6'1 guard has a tight handle, which he uses to blow by his defender and can finish in a variety of ways around the rim. Gonzalez has a good touch in the mid-range and makes opponents pay for giving him space behind the arc. He uses his quick hands to get deflections on the defensive end and can also play off the ball. Gonzalez is a talented guard prospect who should make plays on the ball throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2202019' first='Alex' last='Mazzella'], 5'8 Bergen Catholic</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mazzella joins a talented Crusaders' squad who is looking to repeat as Non-Public A champions. The 5'8 guard plays with composure on the ball as he rarely gets sped up by on-ball pressure and threads passes to his teammates. Mazzella is a crafty finisher around the rim and can make shots through contact. He pushes the pace well in transition and gets deflections on defense. Mazzella is a true point guard prospect who should run the offense smoothly for Bergen Catholic this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2202016' first='Bryce' last='Clark'], 5'9 St. Augustine</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Clark also stars on the gridiron for the Hermits, but that won't stop him from making an impact on the hardwood as well. The 5'9 guard is a blur in the open floor as he uses his speed to blow by his defender and finishes well around the rim. Clark can also play off the ball and has a nice touch in the mid-range. He is a tough on-ball defender as he makes it hard for his man to get to his spot on the floor. Clark is a tough guard prospect who should make plays at both ends of the floor this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2201955' first='Noreaga' last='James'], 5'8 Hudson Catholic</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>James has started off this season on a high note and should look to build off that during the winter. The 5'8 guard uses his handle to get into the paint and has a nice touch around the rim. James is more than just a slasher as he has a nice release on his jumper and makes opponents pay for giving him space behind the arc. He can also play off the ball and gets deflections on the defensive end. James has the ability to put up points in bunches, which he should put on display this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2390038' first='Nick' last='Mejia'], 6'0 St. John Vianney</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mejia has the potential to breakout this season as he should get more touches in the half court. The 6'0 guard has a nice shooting stroke as he wastes little motion and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Mejia moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open jumpers and layups in the half court. He is an underrated defender and is able to find his open teammates in the half court. Mejia is a sharpshooting guard prospect who should torch the nets from distance this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
