2027 Rankings: New Guard Additions

Corey has shown time and time again that he can step up as both a scorer or a facilitator within the offense time and time again this season. He can hit with consistency from the outside when spotting up or from pulling up off the hip. Corey does a good job of letting the game come to him in terms of the offense, and knows the right times to take his shot. He is aggressive all game defensively and seeks out ways to steal the ball without fouling. Very efficient from the floor and should see his stock rise if he can continue playing at this level and better.     Amere has impressed me on multiple occasions with his efficiency in scoring the ball. He's a quick cover with a pretty wide arsenal of moves to get a good look off. Microwave type of player that can be a true threat if he can step into a consistent 3&D role for the young Clerks.     Kellen is very effective at the guard spot for New Hope. He is a versatile offensive player that likes to score from the paint, but can knock down shots from the outside as well. Does well at using his size against smaller matchups, and uses his energy all game long on both ends. One of New Hope's brightest young pieces.     Bryce can effect the game in a lot of different ways for Milford Mill. He can rebound, defend, and score the ball at each level at the guard spot. Great size as a wing that he can use to his advantage on both ends. Seen Bryce impact the team very positively with his intangibles and IQ on the floor. Seems to know when to play with aggression or seek an open teammate.     Chase has played an important role as a starter on a deep SMCA roster. Can defend the ball and force TO's at a high rate, which in turn leads to easier baskets. Gets out on the break well. Chase is a steady option at the guard position for SMCA. Able to effect the game most with his defense and playmaking on the other end. Makes the right play and remains a positive for the Mustangs which earned him a spot in the ranks.
