2029 Rankings Update: Top Point Guards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The initial 2029 rankings update were released today with nearly 100 prospects taking part. The point guard group is the position filled with the most prospects with 35 players being ranked. Here are the top point guards from the 2029 rankings update.</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 the top ranked point guard in the update as he showed his ability to play both on and off the ball. The 6'0 guard has a tight handle, which he uses to blow by his defender off the bounce and finishes well around the rim. Mauro has a smooth release on his jumper and can shoot either off the catch or bounce. He finds his open teammates in the half court and slides his feet on the defensive end. Mauro is a talented guard prospect who should make plays with the ball in his hands over the course of 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 had a big debut varsity season for the Pirates as he helped them repeat as Essex County Tournament champions. The 5'8 guard has a nice shooting stroke as he wastes little motion and can get hot from distance in a hurry. McCray is more than just a shooter as he can also get to the rim off the bounce and finishes in a variety of ways around the rim. He is an underrated passer and gets deflections on the defensive end. McCray is a skilled guard prospect who should continue to grow his offensive game over the course of the AAU season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2899992' first='Harlem' last='McNeal'], 6'2 Don Bosco Prep</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McNeal is primed for a big spring and summer with his ability to make plays with the ball in his hands. The 6'2 guard uses his handle to get to his spot on the floor and can finish through contact around the rim. McNeal can also score in the mid-range and sets his feet before he shoots. He has the length to defend both guard spots and pushes the pace in transition. McNeal gets the opportunity to have the ball in his hands more this spring, which will help his stock in a big way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2884564' first='Seth' last='Dozier'], 6'2 Paul VI</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dozier made a huge impact for the Eagles as he helped them repeat as Camden County champions. The 6'2 guard has a clean release on his jumper and can knock down triples in bunches. Dozier moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open jumpers and layups in the half court. He is a solid rebounder and uses his length to make an impact on the defensive end. Dozier is a sharp-shooting guard prospect who should torch the nets from distance during the AAU season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2884556' first='Bray' last='Brown'], 6'0 Blair Academy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brown might have played in a loaded Buccaneers backcourt, but that didn't stop him from making an impact this season. The 6'0 guard attacks the basket with a purpose as he finishes strong around the rim and finishes strong at the rim. Brown can also play off the ball as he moves into open space to get free shots for himself. He is a tough on-ball defender and works for rebounds on both ends of the floor. Brown is a gritty guard prospect who should make plays at both ends of the floor during the spring and summer AAU seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other Prospects to Know:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2884517' first='Dallas' last='Baldwin'], 5'10 St. Peter's Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2884535' first='Ryan' last='Gannon'], 5'11 Middletown South</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3341538' first='Elijah' last='Cortes'], 5'9 Union</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2194733' first='Naziel' last='Hilario'], 5'10 St. Benedict's</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2873649' first='BJ' last='Williams'], 6'3 Gloucester Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
