2027 Non-Public A Shooting Guard Prospects to Track in May

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The second weekend in May is coming up, meaning the Spring live periods are creeping closer. The 2027 class is ready to have a big live period, especially in the backcourt. Here are the 2027 Non-Public A shooting guard prospects to track this May.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2202020' first='Avery' last='Lynch'], 6'6 CBA</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lynch has the potential to play either spot on the perimeter, making him an intriguing prospect to track in the class. The 6'6 guard has a nice release on his jumper as he wastes little motion and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Lynch is more than just a shooter as he can also get to the rim off the bounce and finishes well around the basket. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and rises up nicely for rebounds. Lynch is a talented guard prospect who should put his game on full display this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2509329' first='Ashton' last='Graves'], 6'4 Hudson Catholic</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Graves had a strong showing in April and is looking to carry that form over into May. The 6'4 guard has a tight handle, which he uses to get to the rim off the bounce and can finish in a variety of ways around the basket. Graves can also score in the mid-range and makes opponents pay for giving him space behind the arc. He pushes the pace well in transition and gets deflections on the defensive end. Graves recently picked up offers from Seton Hall and Georgia Tech and is looking to expand his list over the next couple of weeks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2895818' first='Imaad' last='Johnson'], 6'3 St. Joe's Metuchen</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson experienced a bit of a breakout junior campaign and is looking to bring the momentum into May. The 6'3 guard uses his handle to get to his spot on the floor and knows how to finish around the rim. Johnson is more than just a slasher as he has a nice release on his jumper and moves well without the ball in his hands. He slides his feet on the defensive end and is an underrated passer. Johnson is a gritty guard prospect who should impact the game at both ends of the floor over the course of May.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2568645' first='Austin' last='Kolakowski'], 6'0 Delbarton</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kolakowski is one of the top shooters in Morris County and should show why this May. The 6'0 guard has a clean shooting stroke and can knock down triples in bunches. Kolakowski moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open jumpers and layups in the half court. He rarely forces shots in the half court and works hard on the defensive end. Kolakowski is a sharpshooting guard prospect who should torch the nets from distance this May.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3270146' first='Daniel' last='Hinkov'], 6'4 St. Benedict's</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hinkov had big moments for the Gray Bees and is looking to bring that over into May. The 6'4 guard has a good release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Hinkov can also get to the rim off the bounce and is able to find his open teammates in the half court. He has the length to defend multiple spots on the floor and is an underrated rebounder. Hinkov's ability to torch the nets and defend on the perimeter is something that will help his stock this May.</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='3344185' first='Tyler' last='Burns'], 6'6 Immaculata</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2201963' first='Antonio' last='Tristani'], 6'1 Don Bosco Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2391282' first='Avery' last='George'], 6'3 Seton Hall Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2203813' first='Neel' last='Sappidi'], 6'2 Pingry</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2930753' first='Brandon' last='Brathwaite'], 6'3 Paramus Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
