About Reese
Expert Analysis
Jeremy Henderson | Prep Hoops Scout
Alston proves at on every occasion why he is viewed as one of the top point guards in the country. The nationally recognized floor general impacts the game in every possible way and is capable of putting up a triple-double on any given night. He scores efficiently at all three levels, whether it’s knocking down perimeter shots, getting to his floater, or finishing above the rim through contact. What separates him even more is his ability to operate out of the post and make advanced reads that most guards his age simply do not see. His versatility, feel, and overall control of the game make him one of the most complete guards in the nation.

Reese Alston may have been one of the most mature guards in attendance. He controlled the flow of games with patience early before strategically taking over when his team needed him most. Reese started games aggressively looking to score before naturally transitioning into getting teammates involved and creating open looks. His understanding of timing and momentum throughout games stood out immediately. Late in games, he consistently elevated his aggressiveness and carried the offensive load effortlessly. He looked completely comfortable with the pressure of being the focal point of this live event. Alston’s feel, confidence, and leadership made him the most impressive guard on the circuit.

Alston has had a huge rise since the start of last summer, dominating the Puma circuit and continuing to impress this winter. Taking official visits to SMU and Wichita State over the past few weeks, it seems like Alston might be prioritizing a path where he can play with the ball in his hands right away and have a team built around him. Playing at a traditional high school and on the Puma circuit shows that Alston is comfortable creating his own path. His Dad played over a decade in the NBA and certainly should know what it takes for a player to get to the highest level of basketball.

. His offensive skills, including scoring, ball-handling, facilitating, and IQ, make him my choice for the best high school guard in the country. Defensively, his ability to read passing lanes and turn defense into offense by pushing the ball up the floor creates transition opportunities. Currently, Reese has multiple Division I offers totaling around 20+. I’m looking forward to seeing how much he improves over the summer.

Once he gained a step, he made quick decisions and was difficult to contain, consistently putting pressure on the defense.

is a 6’3” guard with elite athleticism and a high basketball IQ. He explodes past defenders with his first step and finishes above the rim or through contact. On defense, his quickness and length let him guard multiple positions and cause constant problems for opponents. With tight handles and sharp passing, Alston controls the tempo and sets up teammates with ease. He rarely forces plays, always reading the game and making smart decisions on both ends.
