West Chester Big 64: Saturday Guard Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Saturday at the West Chester Big 64 brought together a strong mix of established senior guards and younger prospects looking to take on bigger roles this season. From shot-making and playmaking to versatility on both ends of the floor, several guards made their presence felt. Here is a closer look at some who stood out throughout the day.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3666506"],"_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-6aa762151ac71"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Braswell is extremely advanced off the dribble and plays with a pace and understanding well beyond his years. He keeps his dribble alive and his eyes scanning the floor, showing an unselfish approach as a passer. Despite being a freshman, he already looks comfortable taking big shots down the stretch. At 5-foot-9, his size will be a limitation, but his long arms and quick first step help him compensate. He is still thin and needs to get stronger to become a more consistent finisher around the rim, but his feel and ability to create are already impressive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2884560"],"_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-6aa762151aced"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The freshman guard can really score it, with range beyond the three-point line and a good understanding of spacing. Coleman moves well off the ball and is comfortable finding offense without needing to dominate possessions. At this stage, he is more of a scorer than a distributor and needs to improve as a passer and playmaker for his teammates. Getting stronger and continuing to round out his floor game will be important, but his scoring ability gives him a strong foundation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2194372"],"_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-6aac0d239367a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the best shooters in the Northeast, Tyler was up to his usual tricks Saturday, knocking down threes and defending at a high level. The longtime Father Judge guard will serve as one of the senior leaders on a team that is again among the most talented in the PCL and the state as a whole. His shooting and ability to compete defensively should give him a chance to find his way into the rotation early during his first season at Holy Cross.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2853435"],"_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-6aac0d23936c3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A bigger-bodied guard, Lewis has carried his strong summer into the fall and looks ready to make a real impact for West Catholic this season. His ability to defend multiple positions and play both on and off the ball gives him the versatility to fit into a number of different lineups. His strength and willingness to handle different responsibilities should make him an important piece for the Burrs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2285310"],"_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-6aac0d239372d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the better shooters on the day, the sophomore guard is part of a new-look St. Stephen's and St. Agnes team that impressed overall. Robinson moved well off the ball, worked himself open and did not hesitate to let it fly when given space. A deceptive athlete, he also had a number of impressive finishes around the rim, showing that he can make defenses pay for running him off the three-point line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2353541"],"_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-6aac0d2393786"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">With Anthony Brown graduating, it appears Bolding will be the one taking over the reins at Carroll this season. A bursty guard with good strength, he has the ability to affect the game on both ends of the floor. His ability to get into the lane and either score or set up his teammates will be paramount to the Lions' attack this season</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
