Top Point Guards Regardless Of Class

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">No one can predict what the basketball landscape will look like next season. However, we can still rank prospects, and below PHW takes a look at the best point guards regardless of class. </span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">1. [player_tooltip player_id="804895" first="Tyrese" last="Hunter"] - Racine St. Catherine’s - 2021:</span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">The Iowa State commit is an all-around talent. He wears many hats: he can facilitate an offense, is an underrated two-way threat, and a high-flyer in transition. He’s a hard-nosed, tough opponent and will cause issues at the high-major level.</span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">2. [player_tooltip player_id="929231" first="Kobe" last="Johnson"] - Nicolet - 2021:</span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Johnson is a guard with intriguing physical upside. We could see him blossom defending positions 1-5 and putting up serious numbers across the stat sheet. He just released his final five schools which includes USC, Kansas State, and Cal. </span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">3. Tayshawn Bridges - Brookfield East - 2024:</span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Bridges is an off-the-charts athlete with a powerful first step, amazing body control, and accuracy at the rim. He’s possibly an inch or two short for some scouts, as he stands at roughly 6’2” now, but four years gives him plenty of time to grow. </span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">4. [player_tooltip player_id="879981" first="Kamari" last="McGee"] - Racine St. Catherine’s - 2021:</span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This summer McGee ran an AAU offense like a seasoned college team. He has great instinct and can support a team wherever it’s needed, whether that’s a burst of scoring, tough one-on-one defense, or sparking transition. </span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">5. [player_tooltip player_id="1129756" first="Seth" last="Trimble"] - Menomonee Falls - 2022:</span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">A major athlete with an improving offensive skill set. Trimble puts up big numbers and is one of the top two-way guards in the class. </span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">6. [player_tooltip player_id="879980" first="Ben" last="Nau"] - Brookfield Central - 2021: </span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Nau is a pure point guard in a traditional sense. He can run an offense well, is selfless, and makes high IQ plays. When needed he can make big shots from behind the arc, and shouldn’t be forgotten as a scorer.</span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">7. JaKobe Thompson - Racine Case - 2021:</span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Thompson consistently falls under the radar, but the guard is a big-time scorer. As a natural slasher, he is slippery around defenders and poised against pressure. He stands out jumping gaps on defense and can easily turn sloppy passes into fastbreaks. </span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">8.  [player_tooltip player_id="801138" first="Armani" last="Jones"] - Brown Deer - 2022:</span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Although he’s not the tallest, Jones could be the most naturally skilled prospect in his class. He can shoot, has a crafty handle, and is an effective driver with his low center of gravity and touch on runners. </span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">9. [player_tooltip player_id="879990" first="Dustin" last="Beauprey"] - Mountain Top Christian - 2021:</span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Beauprey burst onto the scene this summer. He’s a strong-bodied, physical guard that can play a variety of roles in an offense. He’s an ultra-efficient shooter and can score in volume within the flow of an offense. </span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">10. [player_tooltip player_id="865836" first="Jack" last="Campion"] - Milton - 2022:</span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Campion has more speed than any guard on this list. He’s a shifty, agile facilitator that looks like a blur in transition. He can score well at close range and is improving from mid-range, but he’s at his best when he’s using his speed to initiate offense.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
