2029 Rankings Update: Top Shooting Guards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2029 rankings update came out on Tuesday with nearly 100 prospects taking part of the update. The shooting guard position is filled with talent that can make an impact at the next level. Here are the top shooting guards from the 2029 rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3515524' first='Jackson' last='Davis'], 6'2 Robbinsville</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davis is the top rated shooting guard in the update and has the potential to have a big AAU season. The 6'2 guard has a good first step, which he uses to get into the paint and finishes well around the rim. Davis is more than just a slasher as he has a good release on his jumper and sets his feet before he shoots. He moves well without the ball in his hands and slides his feet on the defensive end. Davis has the ability to put up points in bunches, which he should put on display over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3523011' first='Alex' last='Whitworth'], 6'3 Clearview</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Whitworth had a strong debut varsity season as he was one of the top shooters in South Jersey this past season. The 6'3 guard has a clean release on his jumper and can knock down triples in bunches. Whitworth rarely forces jumpers in the half court and can free himself up for open jumpers and layups in the half court. He gets deflections on the defensive end and is an underrated passer. Whitworth is a sharpshooting guard prospect who should torch the nets from distance over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2884538' first='Omar' last='Ayyash'], 6'0 Ocean Township</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ayyash had big moments for the Spartans as he helped them reach the sectional semifinals. The 6'0 guard has a smooth shooting stroke as he wastes little motion and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Ayyash moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself up for open jumpers and layups in the half court. He fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor and is an underrated defender. Ayyash had big games down the stretch and is looking to bring that form over into the spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3354766' first='Holland' last='Johnson'], 6'0 Roselle Catholic</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson has the potential to have a big spring as he should have the ball in his hands more. The 6'0 guard has a nice release on his jumper and sets his feet before he shoots. Johnson can also get into the paint off the bounce and finishes well around the rim. He is a tough defender and moves well without the ball in his hands. Johnson's ability to stretch the floor and defend the paint is something that will help his stock in a big way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2884537' first='Ahmad' last='Ayyash'], 6'0 Ocean Township</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ayyash might not have had as good of a year as his brother, but he still made a big impact on the hardwood. The 6'0 guard has a good first step, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and finishes well around the rim. Ayyash plays with composure on the ball as he gets to his spot on the floor and can find his open teammates in the half court. He moves well without the ball in his hands and uses his quick hands to get deflections on defense. Ayyash is a gritty guard prospect who should make plays at both ends of the floor this spring and summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other Prospects to Track:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3544165' first='Jefferson' last='Taylor'], 6'0 Hackensack</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2880164' first='Gerard' last='Gallo'], 6'3 Donovan Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3544090' first='Daniel' last='Charles'], 6'1 Roselle Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2887076' first='Jordan' last='Mason'], 6'0 St. Joe's Metuchen</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2962757' first='Joseph' last='Jennings'], 6'2 St. Thomas Aquinas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
