Deep South Classic Semifinals Standout Guards

With the game hanging in the balance, Roshan came up clutch in the fourth quarter to help propel Brookwood past Hebron Christian 70-61. Krishnamurthy scored 11 of his 17 points in the final frame to pair with his 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. It was my first time watching Roshan and I came away impressed. He's a long, lean guard with some cut to his frame. Roshan is quickly identified as a shooter but in the fourth quarter he diversified his game with a floater and got to the line to shoot 3-6. Krishnamurthy drilled four threes on the day. His floor spacing is a huge part of Brookwood's talented 2027 class.     The Denison-signee has great measurables for the next level standing 6-foot-3, 205 pounds. Add the fact that he's a lethal three-point shooter and you have a potential plug-and-play rotational piece right away at the D-III level. Deniz finished with 11 points, 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block against Archer. He netted three three-pointers and went 2-2 from the foul line. Ozbek has the strength to be able to attack off the dribble, an area of his game which I think he will grow.     Cunningham plays extremely hard. He's a true pass-first point guard, but when the team needs a bucket, Justin loves to penetrate and throw his physical frame into the chests of defenders to draw fouls downhill. When he's not looking to score off drives, he's dissecting the defense with pocket passes. Justin tallied 11 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists in the 60-54 loss to Archer.     Whenever the defense was slow to rotate over, TJ torched them. Tunstall hit four threes – three from the corners – as he finished with 16 points, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block in a win over St. Francis. Tunstall also mixed in a pull-up jumper and scored in transition. TJ was patient against St. Francis' zone. He waited until a clean look presented itself to attack rather than force bad shots against the Knights' length.
