Prep Hoops Live: 2 Way 2029 Guards Making Noise

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This weekend I was in Batavia, IL taking in 20+ games at the Prep Hoops Live event. Nearly 60 teams were in attendance in each age division. I was watching games in the 16U and 15U divisions and plenty of talent from across the Midwest was showcased. In this article we will take a look at some of the 2029 two way guards that are building stock! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2708407"],"_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-6a0d08fe9e18e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A two-way guard that gets out and pushes in transition consistently. In team's first game of weekend on Friday he secured multiple defensive rebounds and immediately pushed tempo. Led the break with strong pitch ahead passes in transition which led to scores. Finished himself at the rim with one being for an and1. Stretched defense out with shooting ability from 3. Another combo guard from [program_tooltip program_id='2075957' first='The' last='Work Foundation'] that should see stock continue to rise.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3580686"],"_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-6a0d08fe9e206"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Caught during team's first game of the weekend on Friday and played with toughness while aggressively attacking the paint. Showcased a strong euro-step finish in traffic and continued to score as a slasher around the rim. Makes solid reads and cuts off the ball to keep defense moving. Brings a hard nosed defensive mentality while competing physically at that end of the floor. Led game high with 16 and helped team to 3-1 on the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3598491"],"_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-6a0d08fe9e263"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A two-way guard that played up an age bracket this weekend.

Showed aggressiveness attacking the rim and drawing fouls to get to stripe. Knocked down multiple catch and shoot 3's while flashing playmaking ability with passing skills.

Hits angles hard and will fight through contact to get to cup. Scored it repeatedly via hard baseline drives and strong takes through traffic. Anticipated well defensively reading passes and anticipating next movement. Added value as a passer on the perimeter for assists or kickouts after driving. Contributes in multiple phases of game while adding value on both sides. <br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
