Expert Analysis
Victor Taylor | Prep Hoops Scout
Howard continues to electrify as a leader for his NLPB 2025 group, a skilled, physical guard who can play on or off the ball. Can do a little bit of everything scoring wise, shooting or attacking the rim. However, I’d say his best attribute is getting to the paint and finishing through contact and over length. Solid defender because of that natural athleticism, and is able to stay in front of guys easily. Also a legitimate playmaker in spurts, able to make the right read and get the ball out of his hands quickly.

Howard is an intriguing combo guard to keep eyes on out of Concord Academy. He’s a 6-foot-3 presence who’s shown he can score the ball in a variety of ways. He posted 9.5 PPG and 2.9 RPG on 39 percent shooting from behind the arc and 53 percent shooting form the floor. He’ll be one to watch with NLPB Next Level Prospects Basketball on the independent grassroots scene this spring/summer.

Howard is part of a loaded NLPB 2025 team to monitor this spring/summer, but made his mark known with big shots and tough, hard-nosed defense on his opponents. He made big time jumpers later on in their games to put teams away, as well as scoring the ball in a versatile manner. Was impressed with how he guarded up with active feet and hands, disrupting opposing guards/ball handlers all tournament long.

Howard is a junior guard prospect to get to know at Concord Academy. The 6-foot-3 wing had himself a productive junior campaign with the Eagles as he averaged 9.5 PPG and 2.9 RPG on 53 percent shooting from the field and 39 percent from behind the arc. He exploded for 23 points on 9-of-10 shooting from the field, 3/3 from 3-PT land in a big victory over Gaston Day back on Dec. 8. He’s a prospect climbing up the radar with his prowess on the hardwood.
