Get to the Paint. Drop a Dime. Make the Net Sing.

Dynamic combo guards change games. They pressure defenses every possession. Guard them too tight and they blow by you. Give them space and the jumper makes the net sing. The best ones can score in bunches, get paint touches, and drop a dime when help arrives. The added bonus is when they defend at a high level, because that is when their stock really soars.    Sun operates well from the perimeter and makes defenses pay for mistakes. Give him even an inch of space and he can knock down the outside shot. He likes to use the pump fake to get defenders off balance, then attacks baseline looking to finish at the rim. As a ball handler, he is crafty and does a good job creating driving angles. Sun also brings strong leadership to the floor. Being a multi-year starter has helped groom him into a vocal and dependable leader who understands how to steady a team in big moments.     Will Slyker is well known as a scoring threat from the perimeter, but his game has grown into much more. He brings a strong physical presence, and his body has matured into a muscular frame. He is just as comfortable attacking the lane as he is letting it fly from the corner. One thing you can always count on is Will being in the right place at the right time. A reflection of strong coaching at both the high school and AAU levels. From the moment he walks into the gym, he is a consistent scoring threat.     London is a lethal perimeter threat. As soon as defenders extend to take away his shot, he shows the ability to knock it down from a step deeper at a high percentage. Close out too hard and he will counter, attack baseline, and look to finish with force at the rim. He works well within team concepts, especially when teammates recognize over-denial and set back screens, where he becomes a tremendous lob threat. Defensively, his hands are quick and active. He generates deflections, disrupts passing lanes, and creates transition scoring opportunities.     Jack has built a steady reputation as a reliable shot maker who understands how to play within team concepts. As the son of a coach, he absorbs game plans quickly and shows a strong feel for the game. He is athletic—sneaky athletic—and if you lose track of him, he can get to the rack in a hurry and finish with authority. He always seems to find himself in the right spot at the right time. Defensively, he competes, communicates well with teammates, and understands rotations. He is also growing into a leadership role that will be critical for his team this coming season.     Justin is a strong, knockdown shooter who is highly effective in the one-dribble counter game. He does a great job making defenses pay when they close out too aggressively. What stands out most, though, is his defensive versatility. He has shown the ability to guard positions one through five dating back to last season and continuing through this summer. At 6-foot-5 with a long wingspan and developing strength, he is growing into a true positionless player. His ability to defend, rebound, and score makes him extremely difficult to take off the floor, regardless of matchup or game situation.
