Kane Williams – Georgia Stunners

This 6-foot-4 guard can play multiple positions along the perimeter, sliding between the lead and off guard. Williams has good court vision and sets up teammates for easy basket. He is tough and competitive, that toughness makes him a good rebounder for his position. Look for Williams to have a big senior season for South Paulding High School.

Isaiah Miller – Infinite SkillsIsaiahMiller

One of the most dominant guards our staff had an opportunity to see this summer. Miller was in constant attack mode during the Super 6 Showcase. He has a quick first step which helps him explode past defends and finish above the rim. Miller recently picked up an offer from Arkansas Little-Rock.

Ryan Schwieger – PSB Select

There is no question that Schwieger stretches the defense better than most. When he heats up he has the ability to go on a run to knock down several deep three pointers in a row. Not only is he a threat to shoot but he can also score off the dribble.

Zackary Bryant – Jacksonville Magic

Bryant is a lead guard who excels at pushing the ball down the court, penetrating and hitting open teammates with on target passes. He is an accurate shooter from behind the arc or mid-range area. He has good acceleration, including an overdrive gear, which he utilizes to explode past defenders.

DJ Heath – Alabama Generals

Heath caught the attention of several college programs after a strong showing at the Elite 32. He is a strong built guard that uses his body to over power defenders to get into the lane and find teammates for easy buckets. Heath also can make mid range shots off the catch or dribble with range to about 17 feet and can score big numbers in a short period of time when he is in the flow.

Avery Diggs – Team SpeightsAveryDiggs

This 6-foot-11 post has good touch around the basket, where he can finish with either hand. Diggs even has the ability to step away from the basket and make shots from the high post or short corner. He is a good finisher and rebounder by virtue of his physical tools and has some evolving offensive tools with good footwork, a high release, and soft touch.

Trey Doomes – Southern StampedeTreyDoomes

One of the most talked about guards during the first live period. Sturdivant is a smart lead guard that can score in a variety of ways.  He sees the court and puts immediate pressure on the defense by advancing the ball with the pass or the dribble.
