More Intriguing 2029 Guards To Follow

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this article I feature another 5 class of 2029 guards who I'll be tracking throughout the fall and winter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2919441"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aa3376520b1f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2919441' first='Amari' last='Carroll'] is certainly going to be one of the Mojave Rattlers' better offensive weapons. He has a very smooth shooting stroke, which he uses to knock down triples at a high rate. He is the type of player who can bury two or three in a row and may finish a game with five or six. Considering his accuracy and overall scoring prowess, I'd say there's a chance that he averages around 15 points per game, perhaps even more. Carroll isn't one to take plays off on defense either. While he doesn't necessarily have size on his side, he gives good effort and can push the pace after a turnover or rebound. All in all, I like his game, and it'll be exciting to see how he performs with his new squad.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3243823"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aa3376520bc5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3243823' first='Thomas' last='York'] will be an intriguing prospect to follow as he prepares for his sophomore campaign. He showed a good amount of versatility as a freshman, and he already has a solid frame that I think he will leverage on a regular basis on both ends. Offensively, he has some downhill ability and finds different ways to score around the cup. It'll also be interesting to see if he gets to his jumper more this season. On the defensive end, I expect York to get after it for the Falcons, and I like how he applies ball pressure and matches feet. Look for him to make some noise throughout the fall and winter.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2960924"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aa3376520c6e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2960924' first='Kairey' last='Sampaio'] is definitely a 2029 guard to know heading into this season. He saw some varsity action as a freshman, and that experience should help him as he looks to take on a larger role during his sophomore year. He utilizes his burst to get by opponents, and his stature to absorb contact when defenders try to contest his attempts. Sampaio also has a vertical, which he can use to come <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2918899"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aa3376520cf8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2918899' first='Kortell' last='Price'] is a hyper-athletic prospect over at Bishop Gorman who does a lot of things well. On offense, he is both a scorer and distributor, and he is a bit quicker than some defenders anticipate. I also watched him throw down a dunk during the AAU season, a pretty impressive feat for a guy who is under six feet. Price makes his presence felt on the defensive end too, where he doesn't give his matchup much breathing room and can get into passing lanes to create steals. With all that said, he is definitely a guard that college coaches should know, and I'm sure he'll do his best to fight for playing time on a stacked Gaels roster.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3699307"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aa49a92815db"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">CJ Paige definitely has the potential to rise up the rankings. He's the definition of a gritty guard who works hard on both ends of the court. When he wants to score, he'll hold the turbo button and leave defenders in the dust. He also makes timely off-ball cuts when he notices his matchup take his eyes off him. Defensively, he stays ready to poke the rock away, and he's always hustling to make an impact.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
