Helmers is a bouncy, athletic guard who loves to put constant pressure on the rim with his ability to attack off the dribble. He’s not a big-time shooting threat from 3-point range, but he’s pretty strong on the mid-range area, stopping on a dime and elevating into his lefty jumper. He uses his bounce to compete on the glass on both ends of the floor, one of the better rebounding guards in the state. He averaged 20.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 2.7 steals per game as a junior for the Bulldogs.
A quick guard with a great first step that he uses to blow by defenders and get to the bucket, Helmers averaged 20.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.7 steals per game as a junior for the Bulldogs. A lefty who can absorb contact around the rim and finish through it, he’s also skilled in the mid-range area, getting to his spots well and knocking down 15-footers with regularity. If he’s able to add some consistency to his 3-point range, watch out.
A strong, athletic guard who can impact the game in a variety of ways, Helmers is used to being a big-time scorer at Algona, but plays a different role here. The lefty absorbs contact well and is able to get to his spots in the mid-range as well as get all the way to the rim for finishes or to find an open teammate when the defense collapses. He a good athlete who rebounds well, especially on the defensive end, and he looks to push the pace after pulling down a defensive board.
A shifty 6-1 guard who puts constant pressure on opposing defenses with his speed and toughness, Helmers thrives when he’s playing downhill and attacking the rim.

He averaged 18.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 2.1 steals, and 1.3 blocks a game on 54-38 shooting splits.
