<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2030 watchlist came out on Monday with a little over 40 prospects taking part. The shooting guard group is filled with talent that should make an immediate impact during their debut varsity season. Here are the shooting guards to track from the 2030 Watchlist.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3571369"],"_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-6ac43406622f0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bennett Jr. has had a big summer, which should carry over into the winter. The 6'4 guard has a quick first step, which he uses to blow by his defender and elevates for dunks in the half court. Bennett Jr. uses his size to see over his defender and rises up with confidence on his jumper. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and is an underrated passer. Bennett Jr. is a talented guard prospect who should put up big numbers in his first varsity season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2868182"],"_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-6ac4340662397"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Boyd has the ability to play either guard spot, which he should put on display this season. The 6'3 guard plays with composure on the ball as he rarely gets rattled by on-ball pressure and threads passes to his open teammates in the half court. Boyd can finish in a variety of ways around the rim and sets his feet before he shoots. He pushes the pace well in transition and uses his quick hands to get deflections on the defensive end. Boyd'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 --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3759309"],"_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-6ac4340662421"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brunson has the ability to break out this season with his ability to score inside and out. The 6'3 guard has a good release on his jumper and makes opponents pay for giving him space behind the arc. Brunson is more than just a shooter as he can also get to the rim off the bounce and finishes well around the rim. He rarely forces shots in the half court and slides his feet on the defensive end. Brunson has the ability to put up points in bunches, which he should put on display this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2887075"],"_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-6ac43406624a5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Grundy has the potential to play either spot on the perimeter, which he should put on display this season. The 6'1 guard uses his handle to get to his spot on the floor and is unafraid of drawing contact on his way to the rim. Grundy has a good touch in the mid-range and moves well without the ball in his hands. He is a tough on-ball defender and is an underrated passer. Grundy is a gritty guard prospect who should make plays at both ends of the floor during 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":["3527053"],"_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-6ac434066251b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mims is an intriguing prospect to track this season with his ability to make plays at both ends of the floor. The 6'3 guard uses his handle to get to the rim off the bounce and finishes well around the rim. Mims can also score in the mid-range and moves well without the ball in his hands. He is a solid rebounder and works hard on the defensive end. Mims is a lanky guard prospect who should impact the game at both ends throughout the winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

The 2030 watchlist came out on Monday with a little over 40 prospects taking part. The shooting guard group is filled with talent that should make an immediate impact during their debut varsity season. Here are the shooting guards to track from the 2030 Watchlist.
