2030 Watch List: Lead Guards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>They're rarely the tallest, but but lead guards (PGs &amp; CGs) are the key to every great team. More from the incoming freshmen class are sure to reveal themselves, but here are 5 to start:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3246935"],"_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-6a62abf777076"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alexandre spent his 8th grade season as the backup point guard for the varsity squad, under first-year head Ryan Wilson, and was far from sped up. Whether he was driving off the bounce or off the catch, he was always under control and used his pace, often playing off two feet once he reached the paint. Switching up his speed and stride helped him find or create windows to pass or angles to score. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2767448"],"_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-6a62abf777104"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A well-known prospect throughout the area, Boyd is a fierce competitor and his touch is his most dangerous weapon. As shifty as they come, he can slither into the paint, then score over defenders by kissing the ball off the glass with reverse layups, floaters, and push shots. And the defense can't sag off of him because he can (and will) drill threes from far beyond the arc. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2545892"],"_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-6a62abf777174"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In addition to being a tough on-ball defender, Cobb is a playmaker with a smooth off the dribble game. He can skip into the lane to collapse the defense or get to his spots for pull-up jumpers – twos and threes. If he's ready and puts in the work, Cobb could make an impact for the Senators come December. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3532309"],"_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-6a62abf7771ba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A modern day lead guard, May plays with an edge on both ends of the floor. He can score in bunches with his off the dribble game or he can balance that with table setting and defensive playmaking. May has already shown that he's ready to step into the lead guard role for the Wildcats. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2885289"],"_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-6a62abf7771f9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nuneville isn't the biggest or an outlier athlete, but he's quietly making a name for himself going into his freshman year. A pure point guard, he plays with a calm sense of urgency, whether he's initiating the offense or making quick decisions off of other guards. Although he primarily drives to pass, Nuneville finishes at the cup when the time is right and occasionally takes and makes spot-up threes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
