Giali Chapman Giali Chapman 6'3" | CG Mojave | 2023 State NV 6’0 Mojave 2023 (#20PHN 2023) – Could be a big year for Chapman. Mojave is built around his skill set, with several players capable of handling, and shooting the basketball. This takes the pressure off him spending significant time at any one backcourt spot, freeing him up to play to his natural offensive strengths.
Ray Payne Ray Payne 6'0" | CG Eldorado | 2022 State NV 6’0 Eldorado 2022 – Saw Payne play quite a bit this summer. He is more a 2 than a 1, however his ability to get paint touches, draw 2 and dish is pointguardesque.
Sebastian Mack Sebastian Mack 6'4" | CG Coronado | 2023 State #58 Nation NV 6’1 Durango 2023 (#1PHN 2023) (featured image) – This is more of a fluid situation update. Mack is probably most effective, when he is playing a more traditional 2 guard role. However, I expect him to spend time this year playing some 1 for Durango, instantly catapulting him into the top of the Combo guard rankings.
TJ Brown TJ Brown 5'10" | CG Las Vegas | 2023 NV 5’10 Las Vegas 2023 (#5PHN 2023) – Brown is a prototypical Combo guard with the speed and quickness to defend 1’s combined with the ability to score when playing off the ball. He has a good first step, and can knock down open 3’s when left alone.
Jamison McCall Jamison McCall 6'0" | CG Spring Valley | 2024 State NV 5’11 Shadow Ridge 2024 (#14PHN 2024) – Congratulations Jamison McCall Jamison McCall 6'0" | CG Spring Valley | 2024 State NV , you are now a combo guard. Probably more of a pure PG, however the 5’11 sniper is one of the most lethal shooters in his class. Good IQ, and a developing playmaker, I could easily see him being equally as deadly on or off the ball.
