Spreading The Love: Who's Been Piling on Assists This Season

Happy Valentines Day! In honor of today's holiday I'll be giving you all a rundown of who's been "spreading the love" and distrubuting the rock this year. A thriving offense operates around assists, and constant ball movement. Efficient passing results in less turnovers and a higher flow of opportunities for all five hoopers on the floor. Let's talk about it!    [player_tooltip player_id='1840225' first='Zander' last='Muna'] leads the state in APG at a whopping 7.8 APG. The 5'5 senior is as shifty as it gets, blowing by his assignment and getting flashy around the rim. It's apparent that Muna is always having fun on the hardwood, and when you make plays as consistently as he does, it's easy to understand why. In addition to spreading the love, Muna also tacks on 4.2 SPG and 4.6 RPG. Muna proves that heart over height will always prevail, and the coaching staff at Banning Lewis is appreciative of that.     [player_tooltip player_id='1622329' first='Soren' last='Singer'] is a 6'3 offensive weapon with a tight handle and agility. Dispersing the rock with ease, Singer ensures opportunity with each possession. Coming up with just under 10 PPG, 8.8 RPG, and 7 APG, Singer brings a complete game to an Englewood squad that's been on a roll with a 15-7 campaign thus far. Attacking the paint comes easily to Singer, who absorbs contact well and earns trips to the foul stripe. Making precision passes to open shooters, Singer is the ultimate all-around threat who should see a massive jump in the rankings.     [player_tooltip player_id='2120958' first='Tyson' last='Smith'] has been electric in his junior year, elevating his game to new heights and posting impressive 18.5 PPG, 7 APG, and 4.2 SPG. The #4-ranked PG in his class prides himself on his shot-creating abilities, gaining separation whenever he wants. Converting on 46% of his looks from the field, Smith's shot selection is intentional with a purpose. Facilitating and leading Regis Groff with confidence, it's safe to say his growth will be exponential in the near future.     [player_tooltip player_id='1577472' first='Jack' last='Young'] is one of the most unselfish players in the state, making sure his teammates get equal slices of George Washington's success. The 6'0 point guard utilizes his wingspan to shoot over other defenders and gain an extra step on opposing defenders. Young can locate open shooters on the fly and make the right reads consistently. Minimizing turnovers and remaining patient on offense, Young ensures that the best possible look is taken each possession down the floor. Chalking up 6.9 APG and 8.5 PPG, Young brings a level of poise that can't be coached.     [player_tooltip player_id='2175397' first='Tre' last='Gutierrez'] has made gargantuan leaps in his game over the course of his high school career. From his '22-'23 freshman season, averaging less than 5 PPG on JV, to his senior season coming up with 6.7 APG, 1.5 SPG, and 9.2 PPG. Gutierrez has thrived this season, becoming a massive contributor to Green Mountain's electric offense along with other high-impact players such as G [player_tooltip player_id='2257271' first='Sam' last='Mielenz'] and SG/SF Jake Swanson.
