Top Combo Guards in the WPIAL

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These five combo guards are undoubtedly players to watch in the WPIAL this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1406036"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e2d41f073d8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nate Wesling has been a pivotal part of Baldwin's success. He has a quick first step that allows him to blow by defenders, and his strength helps him to finish through contact. Offensively, Wesling is a versatile scorer who can hit shots from all three levels. He's a strong spot-up shooter with a quick release and knocks down shots when his feet are set. He's also dangerous off the dribble. Smart with the ball, Wesling rarely turns it over and makes sound decisions in both the half-court and transition. He's a prolific scorer who can take over games, and he played a key role in helping lead Baldwin all the way to the WPIAL Championship game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2398507"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e2d41f07432"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2398507' first='Josh' last='Pratt'] is an exceptional finisher with a deep arsenal of creative moves around the basket. His ability to change pace and direction makes him incredibly difficult to defend. Pratt is a true three-level scorer, capable of knocking down shots from deep, hitting midrange jumpers, and finishing strong at the rim. He's a crafty ball-handler who can create his own shot in isolation situations or set up teammates with passes. His long and athletic build gives him the versatility to score in a variety of ways. Defensively, Pratt is conscientious and puts in work on that side of the ball. He uses his length to disrupt passing lanes and is quick enough to stay in front of most guards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1466559"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e2d41f07473"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Calvin Winfrey's mid-range game is exceptional, especially with the pull-up jumper. He also finishes well at the rim, using his athleticism and creativity to score in traffic or through contact. His range extends beyond the three-point line, so Winfrey is quite an effective scorer on 3 levels. Winfrey's quickness and craftiness with the ball make him difficult to contain in iso and open-floor situations where his speed and agility shine. Winfrey is starting to garner attention at the next level, with DII offers beginning to roll in.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- 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":"Owen Maddalon","_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":"6'3u0022","_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":"North Catholic","_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e2eb2898cdb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Owen Maddalon is lights out from deep. That said, he also has an excellent mid-range game and pull-up jumper. Maddalon has an unselfish mindset and a high basketball IQ, the type of player who leads his team. He can defend any position, and never stops hustling on that end of the floor. Maddalon had an excellent AAU season and I expect him to be one of the top guards in the WPIAL this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1406949"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e2eb2898d4f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zach Washington averaged 18 points per game last season and has established himself as one of the best shooters in the WPIAL. Defenders need to know where he is on the court at all times. He finishes well at the rim, showcasing a solid ability to score in traffic and convert through contact. As a true team player, Washington is always looking to make the extra pass and set up his teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
