Troy is a tough, gritty guard who defends well. He loves to apply ball pressure to opposing players, being able to keep them in front of him with his agility and quick feet. Keowla gets down-hill efficiently and keeps the ball close to him, rarely turning it over.
Highlights
McDonald is a tough-nosed player who will do all the little things on the court. He dives on loose balls, fights for rebounds off the glass, and isn’t afraid to play tight defense against some of the top players. His game has been becoming more well rounded after suiting up for Washington Supreme during the AAU season. He could sneak into the rankings come the next update.
Kai has great length and size on the court but can also play the guard position if needed with his solid ball handles. He is an impressive athlete who flys around the court on the defensive side of the ball and runs the floor in transition smoothly, being able to finish at an high level. His defensive presence will be huge for Garfield next year, who will again be a top team in the entire state.
Highlights
Daniel is a lefty guard who is going to have a big junior season in my eyes. He is strong for his size as he can guard players who are taller and have bigger frames, being able to matchup well against them. Ngezaho finishes around the rim and can absorb contact when going up for a bucket. He isn’t afraid to shoot the deep ball if defenders are lazy, which he shouldn’t be as he can knock them down.
