<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The week is half over, meaning the new academic school year is around the corner. The 2027 class is looking to end their varsity careers on a high note, especially in the back court. Here are the 2027 Group 1 point guard prospects to track this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2201949"],"_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-6a98bbe31a90f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wilson is one of the top guard prospects in Newark and should put it on display this season. The 6'0 guard has a tight handle, which he uses to blow by his defender off the bounce and finishes in a variety of ways around the rim. Wilson can also score in the mid-range and sets his feet before he shoots. He threads passes to his open teammates in the half court and gets deflections on the defensive end. Wilson is a talented guard prospect who should make plays with the ball in his hands throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2864075"],"_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-6a98bbe31a979"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shoultz III has the ability to play either guard spot, which he should put on display this season. The 5'11 guard uses his handle to get to his spot on the floor and knows how to finish around the rim. Shoultz III moves well without the ball in his hands and makes opponents pay for giving him space behind the arc. He is an underrated passer and slides his feet on the defensive end. Shoultz III's ability to play both on and off the ball is something that will help his stock in a big way throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3569294"],"_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-6a98bbe31a9af"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Eaves did a little bit of everything for Newark Global Studies last season and should do it again this season. The 6'0 guard has a good first step, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and has a nice touch in the mid-range. Eaves finds his open teammates in the half court and doesn't get rattled by on-ball pressure. He is a strong rebounder and uses his quick hands to get steals on the defensive end. Eaves is a versatile guard prospect who should impact the game in a variety of ways throughout the winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3544021"],"_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-6a98bbe31a9df"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Preston led the Garnet Gulls' offense last season and is looking to have an even bigger senior season. The 5'9 guard has a nice release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Preston is more than just a shooter as he can also get to the basket off the bounce and rarely forces shots in the half court. He works hard on the defensive end and is a solid rebounder. Preston's ability to stretch the floor combined with his ability to defend the ball is something that will help his development throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3600457"],"_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-6a98bbe31aa10"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Faynzilbert had big games down the stretch last season for Cresskill, which should carry over into 2026-27. The 5'10 guard plays with composure on the ball as he gets to his spot on the floor and finishes well around the rim. Faynzilbert can also score in the mid-range and has the ability to knock down shots behind the arc. He is an underrated passer and works hard on the defensive end. Faynzilbert's ability to run the offense effectively is something that will help his stock throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
