The Live Period Preview: Kansas Scoring Guards to Know

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Looking for some scoring guards the next few weeks out of Kansas? We have some names for college coaches to check out!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2393111"],"_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-6a4e86c522f0c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">More of a combo guard as Hayden can play both spots, but Hayden can score the ball and this is a class short on two guards so we lead things off with the Conway Springs six foot talent that also plays with Kansas Hoop Dreams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The toughest things to deal with Hayden is trying to decide how to guard him I would assume. In reviewing the film, he's a player with range so you have to decide if you want to step to him and open space for the offense, or if stay back and risk it. And Hayden is so quick out of his dribble separation into the shot that it's tough to give him much for space even when you step to him. And play zone if you wish but you better know where Hayden is after he moves the ball because if he finds space on the wing, he will have the space to be sit and hit. Can handle the ball and run a team too but such a dangerous shooter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":3690164,"_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-6a4e8ff555df1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Abe is a 6'2. 175/180 pound strong guard that plays with a high motor and gives his team a lot on both ends. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In looking at some video with HOH, you see a really good athlete with strength that allows him to be a very dangerous player cutting off ball to finish in active ways. Black's quickness and strength allow him to win just about any corner turn and his balanced finishes help him shoot a high percentage. That athletic ability and strength also make him a very good potential defender that wins angles with that agility and strength. Definitely a worker to keep an eye on this month. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2815593"],"_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-6a4e8ff555e56"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another combo guard that we wanted to get here because of his ability to attack off the dribble. Munnings is with One of Us as a main handler but he's also an attacking scorer putting up in the area of 18, 19 or 20 a game this 17u season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Munnings is the type of player that has quick handles and he can beat you in a blink so you can't get caught leaning or he will explode into a basket attack or lift into an attempt. And you need to have your help talking to you when defending Munnings as gets into the attack. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Also has the potential to be a ball pressuring menace with his lateral quickness. He can ball pressure players into mistakes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2416930"],"_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-6a4e8ff555ea7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At about 6'3 [player_tooltip player_id='2416930' first='Jesse' last='Eklund'] might have one of the more impressive game videos to look at. His quick releasing three point touch is the first thing I saw but the agility that Eklund has shifting with the ball one spot to the next, he is such a fluid athlete that makes simple basketball movements make easy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A player that plays with such control, but with the quickness to the shot or the dribble separation that just snaps at you in an instant. Appears to be playing with [program_tooltip program_id='3612975' first='Kansas' last='Select'] and a guy that colleges should keep an eye on as they look for shooters. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2205720"],"_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-6a4e8ff555ef2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We might have saved the best player of this list for last. Lincoln is a 6'3, 175 pound shooting guard with length that competes with SSA Hoops. Right now Lincoln has been scorching as a shooter knocking out threes at a 50 percent clip and he will be in Omaha this weekend for coaches to see. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lincoln recently picked up offers from Central College and Ottawa after visits and more schools are tracking him each weekend. The beauty of Lincoln is the court IQ as he knows how to set up shots within the halfcourt offense and is also a very good team defender for his team. Keep an eye out on Lincoln having a big July. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
