<p class="text-gray-700">Waddle is a skilled guard who can effectively play either the point or shooting guard position. He wasted no time making an impact, knocking down several three-pointers early to ignite his team's offense and force defenses to respect him from the perimeter. Beyond his shooting ability, he showed excellent touch around the basket, finishing with creative floaters and high-arcing push shots in traffic. As a playmaker, he was equally impressive, consistently making smart reads out of ball-screen actions and creating quality opportunities for teammates in the half court. His combination of scoring ability, court vision, and versatility makes him a valuable backcourt piece who can impact the game in multiple ways.<br><br></p>

<p class="text-gray-700">s a tough-nosed floor general who embraces the responsibilities of a true point guard and consistently puts his team in position to succeed. Playing with excellent pace and energy, he does a tremendous job organizing the offense, making the right reads, and keeping teammates involved throughout the game. Defensively, he is relentless, flying around the floor to create plays both on and off the ball while bringing constant intensity. One of the most impressive parts of his offensive game is his floater, a shot that has become increasingly rare but one he uses with great touch and efficiency around the basket. He also shoots the ball at a high percentage from beyond the arc, especially on catch-and-shoot opportunities, making him a threat defenses must account for at all times. His motor never seems to slow down, and he has a unique ability to completely shift the energy and momentum of a game through his effort and leadership. In an era where true point guards are becoming harder to find, he is the type of player every coach wants running the show. He is unquestionably one of the top small guards in the state of Georgia and continues to prove it every time he steps on the floor.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">He forms a terrific backcourt duo with Davies (listed above) and brings a selfless, team-first approach every time he steps on the floor. Comfortable running the offense, he can handle lead guard duties and consistently makes the game easier for those around him. He remains composed against pressure, showing the ability to break down double teams and make high-level reads out of ball-screen actions. One of his biggest strengths is how well he keeps the offense flowing, whether it's making the extra pass, delivering the ball early on drives, or simply making the correct decision possession after possession. Those traits become especially valuable against aggressive pressure defenses that try to speed teams up. While his playmaking stands out, he can score when needed as well. He is a reliable perimeter shooter who can make defenses pay when left open, and his quick first step allows him to attack hard closeouts and get into the paint. His combination of decision-making, unselfishness, and scoring ability makes him one of the more underrated small guards in Georgia and a player who deserves much more attention.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Yimtatu is a polished lead guard who can score effectively at all three levels and puts constant pressure on defenses with the ball in his hands. Whether attacking the rim or knocking down jumpers from the perimeter, he has a knack for finding ways to put points on the board. He plays with great composure and never seems rushed, consistently getting to his spots and making defenses pay for mistakes. His catch-and-shoot ability is especially dangerous, as he possesses textbook mechanics and a quick release that requires very little space to get off. Once he sees a couple shots fall, he can heat up in a hurry and completely change the complexion of a game. His blend of shot-making, poise, and offensive versatility makes him a difficult matchup for opposing guards.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Erb is a true floor-spacing threat at the two-guard spot who shoots the ball at a high percentage from beyond the arc. Defenses have to stay attached to him at all times because of his ability to knock down shots quickly and consistently. What makes him even more valuable is the way he moves without the basketball, constantly finding openings through back cuts and slipping screens to generate easy scoring opportunities. He has a great feel for spacing and does a strong job of keeping the offense flowing. Defensively, he brings a scrappy, high-energy approach, battling on the glass and applying relentless ball pressure. His combination of shooting, movement, and effort makes him a valuable piece on both ends of the floor.</p>
