About Richard
Expert Analysis
Kevin Howell | Prep Hoops Scout
Rich Guerra refuses to disappear. Even when face-guarded, he keeps moving. He relocates. He finds space. He makes shots the moment defenders relax. He directs traffic and keeps the offense organized. That matters more than touches.

Read EvaluationMatthew Champion | Prep Hoops Scout
Rich is a high-IQ, crafty combo guard and I’m so impressed with his performances every time I see him play. He knows how to fill up the entire stat sheet quickly and he’s not afraid to take on anyone or any play. He’ll dive for loose balls on one possession, set perfect picks the next, and follow that by dizzying his defender with his impressive ballhandling skills after stealing the ball from him. His vision is off the charts when it comes to picking off opposing passing lanes and it’s become more and more of a regularity for him. He’s also active on the glass offensively and defensively and he can go on a hot streak and torch his defenders from beyond the arc. He has one of the more impressive floaters I’ve seen in the lane with a shooting touch that often times can’t be denied. Guerra is a player that many coaches should covet because of the incredible impact he makes on both ends of the floor.

Read EvaluationDevontae Cobb | Prep Hoops Scout
Richard Guerra displayed textbook shooting mechanics, characterized by a quick and high release that allowed him to shoot over defenders, even with a hand in his face. His ability to find open shot opportunities was a testament to his basketball IQ, as he rotated efficiently within the offense, always staying ready to catch and fire. Guerra Jr. also created space for his jumper using low jab steps, keeping defenders off balance and giving himself clean looks from beyond the arc.
