He can fly to the rim on offense and is a solid rebounder on defense. Stephens should have a decent year in 2021-22. </span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2"><strong>Kyan Maloy</strong> | 5-10 SG | Beauregard</span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2">Maloy is a great guard that can play well with his teammates and is a true team player. But with the ball in his hands, Maloy can score from anywhere on the court and he is a great lockdown defender. </span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2"><strong>Xavier Sutton</strong> | 5-9 G | Brewbaker Tech</span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2">Sutton might be Brewbaker Tech’s best guard this season. He displays great court vision and can be the leader his team needs. Sutton can drive inside and finish at the rim but he can also hit a jumper or any open shot from deep. He has solid size and has quick speed to run the floor after a turnover on defense. </span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="965873" first="Blayne" last="Battaglia"]</strong> | 6-0 SG | Pike Road</span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2">Battaglia is a terrific guard with great potential. He can light up the stat sheet and can be a rim protector on defense following missed shot attempts. </span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2"><strong>Zavion Carr</strong> | 6-1 G | Tallassee</span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2">Carr is a solid guard with good handles and quick speed. He can fly past defenders and compete for open looks on the court. </span></p>
