5 Standout Sophomore Guards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We've got a five-pack of talented, standout sophomore guards you should know. These guys have stood out this season for their ability on both ends of the floor, whether it's utilizing outstanding quickness and reactions or seeing the floor at a different level than most.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2548214"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69960053b20e1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Owens is an athletic point guard who does a great job getting paint touches and spreading the ball around on offense. Can incite a lot of their action with his quickness and patience operating around the paint, keeping his dribble going and finding key passes off his paint touches. He's a pretty athletic kid too, and can contribute with some help on the glass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2629638"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69960053b21c5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He's put up some big scoring numbers this season, and while he has to do a lot of shot creating and needs to score on a nightly basis, he's also shown some impressive court awareness and distribution throughout the year. He's poised under pressure, can create space even after picking up his dribble or under double-teams, and really anticipates extra defenders well, knowing where his options will be.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2627284"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69960053b22a2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wright is yet another talented young guard at Rainier Beach, showcasing a mix of confidence and awareness that has helped him secure solid minutes at the point. He has some blazing speed, and his ability to stop, go, and throw defenders with his eyes has shown up in a big way with his takes to the rim, as well as some great passing and decision-making in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2625619"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69960053b2385"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the most fearless players, not just in his class, but in the state, Shareef-Dulaney has been even more impressive this season after an MVP freshman year. He's grown a couple of inches, attacks the rim with even more power, and still has that electric quality with the ball that makes him a threat to score every time he touches the rock. He had a monster 42-point, 22-rebound game earlier this year, highlighting not just his scoring potential but also his energy and motor that show up all over the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2548213"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69960053b245b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rouson is an outstanding athlete who is twitchy and bouncy and shows a lot of potential as a two-way player. He really elevated his play and showcased that talent in their last matchup with Beach on February 6th. He was making quick decisions on the perimeter, and his ability to stop and elevate really opened up some looks in the midrange and led to a big scoring night for him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
