The Prep Hoops Circuit held 6 events in Chicago that featured an elite collection teams that were from Shoe circuits and Independent.  In this article we look at five of the top scoring and athletic guards in the 2029 class who consistently elevated their play, during those events with a list of notable honorable mentions.   [player_tooltip player_id='3576059' first='Emurion' last='Jackson'] | Bradley Beal Elite   Event: (Chi-Town Tip-Off)   Jackson looks like one of the next big-time prospects to emerge from the . The long, athletic shooting guard combines impressive size with a smooth handle and the ability to create for himself or teammates. He attacks the rim with confidence, finishes through traffic with flair, and flashes advanced court vision. Add in his rebounding instincts and improving perimeter shot, and Jackson has one of the highest ceilings in the class.   [player_tooltip player_id='2422339' first='Jayden' last='Alford'] | Team Y&R    Event: (Prep Hoops Live)   Alford is a natural scorer who can heat up in a hurry. The left-handed guard is a knockdown perimeter shooter with a quick release and confidence from deep, while also showing the burst to attack off the bounce. His ability to score in transition and pull up from anywhere on the floor makes him one of the more dangerous offensive guards in the 2029 class.   [player_tooltip player_id='2862587' first='Dajuan' last='Brown'] | [program_tooltip program_id='2078449' first='Meanstreets' last=''] EYBL    Event: (Chi-Town Tip-Off)   Brown impacts the game on both ends with his relentless energy and athleticism. A disruptive on-ball defender, he thrives by creating turnovers with active hands and sharp anticipation before turning defense into offense. Offensively, his smooth handle and ability to finish around the basket make him a difficult matchup, while his toughness and maturity continue to separate him from his peers.   [player_tooltip player_id='2675420' first='Quinn' last='Carroll'] | [program_tooltip program_id='2078448' first='Illinois' last='Wolves']    Event: (Great Lakes Finals)   Carroll is one of the more polished offensive guards in the class. His shooting mechanics and shot preparation are advanced, allowing him to consistently knock down shots from beyond the arc. He complements that shooting ability with crafty ball handling, efficient scoring off the dribble, and excellent movement without the ball, making him a constant threat in half-court offense.   [player_tooltip player_id='3701325' first='John' last='Starks'] | Zero Fears    Event: (Great Lakes Finals & The Platform)   Starks plays much bigger than his size thanks to his toughness and scoring instincts. The shifty guard uses a tight handle and change of pace to create space, getting into the lane for creative finishes while also knocking down pull-up jumpers. When he finds his rhythm from deep, he can string together points in a hurry, making him one of the class's most exciting bucket-getters.   Honorable Mention:    [player_tooltip player_id='2394774' first='Corey' last='Griffin'] (Team Y&R),   [player_tooltip player_id='3427367' first='Jacob' last='Hyde'] ([program_tooltip program_id='2075622' first='M14' last='Hoops']),    [player_tooltip player_id='3586355' first='Christian' last='Sago'] (FVV Elite),    Donavyn Rodgers ([program_tooltip program_id='2452456' first='Mac' last='Irvin Fire']),   [player_tooltip player_id='3472203' first='Rayvon' last='Nelson'] ([program_tooltip program_id='2078449' first='Meanstreets' last=''] EYCL).
