Another elite guard who made a big jump in the rankings is Rouse. Like Javarious, Thomas stepped in the biggest moments this season, proving he can play at the next level. Notable games include 28 and 4 against Byrnes, plus 20+ points and 6+ assists in the final game of the regular season and the first game of the playoffs. Rouse made up part of one of the best backcourts in the state this season, and his improvement this season is one of the biggest reasons why the Eagles well-outplayed their preseason expectations. He does have a smaller frame, but Thomas is more than capable of excelling off the ball with shooting or running the offense with facilitating and athletic finishing.
