<p class="text-gray-700">Ikey is a lightning rod of a guard that is constantly involved in game-changing plays on both ends of the floor. He has wonderful hands defensively with his ability to pick pockets with stealth and precision unmatched by many of his peers. He creates chaos and disruption beautifully on the defensive end with his speed and physicality. His footwork is fantastic on both sides, and he can create his own shots nicely on the offensive end. He's smart and patient when evaluating where to go next and he uses pump fakes incredibly effectively in the lane. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Evan is a strong, impressive guard that can lockdown the best player on the opposing team and seems to do so with joy. His footwork is impeccable and he fights through screens aggressively, rarely ever losing any sort of pace with his assignment. He's smart and stealthy when he reaches and deflects to rack up steals and he seldom allows any second-chance opportunities with his work on the defensive glass. He's fearless when driving in the lane offensively and regularly stacks offensive boards for additional opportunities at the rim.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Ethan is an energetic, involved guard that never shies away from a challenge on either end of the floor. His ability to pick passing lanes is uncanny, with near perfect precision and anticipation. He never takes a play off when getting back on defense, regardless of the separation between himself and the target. He's forceful in the paint offensively, often finishing at the rim and securing an extra opportunity at the charity stripe. He's vocal and communicative on defense, something you love to see early in a basketball career. He's confident on both sides of the ball and can knock down shots with impressive accuracy.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Beckham is an active, vocal guard that makes clever plays on both ends of the court. He's excellent at disrupting opposing passing lanes and staying locked in on his man defensively. He's quick to help on defense if he sees a teammate struggling and always does so communicatively so there's no blown coverage to go along with it. His footwork is impressive and he's a force on the glass throughout his games. He's a nice finisher on the fast break and his shooting range extends beyond the three-point line. He's never afraid of the moment and doesn't back down from physicality.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Miles is a high-flying, tenacious guard that can block any opponent at the rim with his impressive verticality. He rarely bites on fakes and is a menace to deal with if you're trying to get anything close to a layup or dunk. He's communicative with his teammates on both ends and never misses an opportunity to lift up a teammate and encourage them, showing valuable leadership. He's a force in the paint on the offensive end as well, showing strength when elevating for dunks and high percentage looks at the rim. He's incredibly confident and never falters when it comes to making the right plays for his mission - outwork the opponent and win.</p>
