Talent can be found all around the state of South Carolina, as Phenom Hoops is hoping to shed some more light on prospects that should garner attention and be on radars for college coaches.
A player that we have seen on multiple occasions is 2027 guard Bryce Ward, a prospect who has shown the ability to make an impact in a variety of ways. Last year, Ward impressed with his ability to impact the game both offensively and defensively, showing the ability to create, be shifty offensively, and score in a variety of ways whether off the bounce of catch-and-shoot. But he also can be a pest defensively, getting in the passing lanes, creating steals, and allowing his defense to turn into offense.
Ward is a strong playmaking guard who had a strong season last year and we believe that he should only continue to show that this upcoming season as he will be a prospect to watch.
What Has Been Said:
“He’s a smart, heady, well-rounded point guard prospect with a tight handle, sharp vision, and a polished scoring arsenal from all levels. Ward plays with tremendous pace and makes great decisions with the ball in his hands. He touches the paint at a high volume and sets up others or finishes with craftiness. Ward shoots the ball at a high percentage from along the perimeter, and is capable of operating in spot-up roles with relative ease. He’s a solid defender and excellent rebounder (especially for his size/position) who outworks his assignment on both ends of the floor.”
“5’9 ‘27 Bryce Ward (Cathedral Academy) is highlighting a smooth scoring arsenal. Smart, crafty, and making terrific decisions with the ball in his hands. Sharp defender with great instincts at the point of attack. Setting the tone on both ends of the floor #SCFreshman40”
