French is a point guard who knows how to manipulate the defense to get what he wants. He has a very good handle and knows how to use it to get to spots for his jumper. French also creates better passing lanes for himself to get the ball to teammates with the dribble. He was the leading scorer in their win over Southwood with 17 doing everything described. French is the leader of a BTW team who should be a force in their classification.

BJ French may be the best-kept secret in North Louisiana at the point guard position, and I would put him up against anyone in the state for the 2026 class. His court vision is superior, and so is his ball-handling. He is a highlight waiting to happen, consistently making smart basketball decisions that paid off against a spunky Homer squad.

As basketball transitions to a game without strict positions, the point guard will remain the most crucial player on the court. He is an elite decision-maker, and it is nearly impossible to speed him up or take the ball from him. Quick and fearless, he is a true floor general with a polished game. Although he doesn’t take many shots, he finishes at all levels with ease. The offense runs through him and he is a first class facilitator, but don’t get it twisted. He is a bucket as well.
