Impressive 3A Lead Guards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 3A level hosts an array of exciting up and coming guards, all of which are fearless playmakers. Featuring primarily small school athletes, these backcourt athletes have garnered attention despite being outside of either ABQ or Las Cruces metros. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1687822"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"One of the most efficient perimeter shooters in the state, regardless of class, Nez deserves reputability for his production last season. An impressive shotmaker with the right hand, Nez has very soft touch on those shot attempts. Effective fooling opponents with pass fakes and immediate rip throughs, he works to sell the defense in order to open up driving lanes. His skill stretches out behind the arc, already effective off the catch or while stepping into the attempt following lackluster closeouts. It should be no surprise the guard played a pivotal role in this Navajo Prep's success throughout the playoffs, securing","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6647ca101a014"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1695658"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Gonzales is a twitchy guard who makes the most of his opportunities at roughly 5'5. With the ball on a string going either direction, defenses are rarely allowed to be proactive versus the guard. Typically getting to his array of opportunities out of ball screens or off-ball movement, he rarely has opportunities to find easy offense. His efficiency inside the arc was impressive to say the least, up at 61% on those field goal attempts. Part of what allows him to be so productive is his quick instincts, effectively making the extra pass when necessary, even through tight windows. At 3.8 assists per game, Gonzales provided ample shotmaking opportunities for teammates, making him one of the most productive facilitators at the 3A level.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6647ca101a0bc"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2684834' first='Josh' last='Dawes']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Tohatchi","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"A high motor guard who seems to have limitless endurance, Dawes is always flying around to deflect passes or get out onto the fast break. Quick to push the break himself or set himself up for an outlet, there are few guards like Dawes who bring high energy every possession. Most dependable attacking downhill with the right hand, he brings soft touch runners and off-balance finishes at the basket. He can space the floor off the catch, bringing in a fluid release. His continued progression as an ambidextrous playmaker will be worth following, necessary to his full potential as a lead guard.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6647ca101a180"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2300002"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"A talented shotmaker out of the mid-range, Archuleta brings versatile shotmaking going left or right in traffic. Capable of handling pressure with the ball, the guard works hard to survey the floor at all times. Adept at creating driving lanes with either hand, Archuleta is among the more skilled guards within his class. Doubling down on the shot, he was near 40% behind the arc this season, complemented by 19 points per game. Archuleta was among the most productive playmakers in 3A basketball this past season, up at 3.5 assists per game.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6647ca101a1ec"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2819890' first='Stetson' last='Perry']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Thoreau","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Although undersized, Perry looks to draw contact at the rim, willing to go up and initiate shot attempts through the contest.
