RYZE Live Showcase I: Standout Guards Pt. 1

<p><strong>RYZE Live Showcase I: Standout Guards Pt. 1</strong></p> <p><strong>2023 6-1 G [player_tooltip player_id="1444759" first="Emmanuel" last="Okogie"] – Georgia Trendsetters – Shiloh<br /> </strong>While he may not be his NBA brother, Emmanuel is still a very effective player. He’s a mature guard that stuffs the stat sheet. Okogie is a tough-nosed defender – no surprise coming from Shiloh. He rebounds well for his size and is strong with the ball as a facilitator. Emmanuel can exploit mismatches, taking smaller guards into the post. Throughout the tournament he showed an ability to knock down the open three and was always aggressive getting to the hoop.</p> <p><strong>2023 6-0 G Miles Kilpatrick – Georgia Trendsetters – Shiloh<br /> </strong>A dangerous catch-and-shoot off guard. Kilpatrick is a solid shooter that can get his shot off the dribble from the mid-range. Miles is a valuable floor spacer and an opportunistic driver with room to grow.</p> <p><strong>2025 5-11 PG [player_tooltip player_id="1383030" first="Eric" last="Chatfield"] – TSF Mack 2025 – Pace Academy<br /> </strong>Before colliding heads and going down with a busted eye, [player_tooltip player_id="1383030" first="Eric" last="Chatfield"] looked great vs. Wood Elite Black. He’s a quick guard that plays with pace. He sees the floor exceptionally well and makes smart decisions with the ball. Chatfield gets other teammates involved but has enough offensive firepower to call his own number. His jump shot is a weapon with easy three-point range. When left open in the corner he torched the defense.</p> <p><strong>2025 6-2 SG [player_tooltip player_id="1444782" first="Kyle" last="Carpenter"] – TSF Mack 2025 – Buford<br /> </strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1444782" first="Kyle" last="Carpenter"] has the size and strength to play multiple spots on the floor. He can play either the two or three but also is sharp enough with the ball to help initiate the offense. He likes to get a head of steam and bull his way to the basket where he absorbs contact and finishes through traffic.</p> <p><strong>2025 5-10 PG [player_tooltip player_id="1444783" first="Houston" last="Henry"] – Wood Elite Black – Union County<br /> </strong>I liked how [player_tooltip player_id="1444783" first="Houston" last="Henry"] handled the ball vs. pressure. He’s a compact guard with a low center of gravity. Henry is ball-strong, not relenting an inch when defenders try to make him uncomfortable. Houston utilizes the bounce pass well and can thread the needle to open teammates. Henry is also a threat to pull-up from three.</p>
