Here are some point guards to track in the 2029 Watch List.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2884567' first='Dominic' last='Mauro'], 6'0 College Achieve</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mauro is one of the prospects in the class and has gotten his varsity career off to a hot start. The 6'0 guard plays with composure on the ball as he rarely gets sped up by on-ball pressure and threads passes to his open teammates. Mauro is a crafty finisher around the rim and can make shots through contact. He can also play off the ball and uses his quick hands to get deflections on the defensive end. Mauro is a talented guard prospect who should make plays 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='2907130' first='Gabriel' last='Shoultz'], 6'1 LEAP Academy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Shoultz has started his high school career with a bang as he is averaging 16 points per game this season. The 6'1 guard has a good handle, which he uses to blow by his defender off the bounce and finishes well around the basket. Shoultz can also score in the mid-range and sets his feet before he shoots. He is an underrated passer and works hard on the defensive end. Shoultz is gaining more confidence within the flow of the offense, which should lead to bigger games over the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2768125' first='Quincy' last='Washington'], 5'9 Northern Burlington</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Washington has been playing at a high level as he is averaging over 17 points per game this season. The 5'9 guard has a quick first step, which he uses to blow by his defender and knows how to finish around the rim. Washington can also score in the mid-range and makes opponents pay for giving him space behind the arc. He is a solid rebounder and gets deflections on the defensive end. Washington put up 25 points in his last game and should have more games like that this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2884535' first='Ryan' last='Gannon'], 5'11 Middletown South</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gannon has spearheaded the Eagles' attack as he is averaging 19 points per game this season. The 5'11 guard has a smooth release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Gannon is more than just a shooter as he can also get into the paint and finishes well around the rim. He is an underrated defender and moves well without the ball in his hands. Gannon is a sharpshooting guard prospect who should torch the nets from distance over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2884521' first='Bryce' last='McCray'], 5'8 Seton Hall Prep</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McCray is gaining confidence within the offense as he has scored at least 10 points or more in Seton Hall Prep's last five games. The 5'8 guard has a tight handle, which he uses to blow by his defender and is a crafty finisher around the rim. McCray is more than just a slasher as he has a good shooting stroke and can knock down triples in bunches. He uses his quick hands to get steals on the defensive end and is able to find his teammates in the half court. McCray is a skilled guard prospect who should continue to make plays in the back court as the Marauders look to repeat as Essex County Tournament champions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
