6’1 ’25 Beau Harvey (Rising Pros USS)
Given his body of work and overall ability, it’s really confusing why Harvey doesn’t have a slew of opportunities at the next level. In a time when so many people are pleading for true point guards, someone like Harvey (who fits the bill) gets overlooked. It makes no sense. Regardless, he’s a smart, unselfish floor general whose blend of pace, vision, and ability to take care of the ball makes him an obvious asset. Harvey handles the ball with care, gets everyone involved offensively, and picks his spots as scorer within the flow of the action. He’s also a quality defender and capable rebounder for his size.
5’9 ’27 Brody Watkins (DB Elite)
Despite his lack of size, Watkins was easily among the most electric players on display. He’s a quick, speedy floor general with sharp vision and a lethal penetration sense. Watkins is a crafty ball-handler who can effortlessly break down opponents and touch the paint, where he’s able to finish or locate open teammates. Watkins also plays well without the ball and knocks down perimeter jumpers at a reliable rate. He’s a pesky defender with the necessary instincts to contain his assignment and force turnovers at the point of attack.
6’5 ’26 Ryder Strand (SW15H Elite)
The SW15H Elite roster is loaded with talented pieces, and Strand was arguably their most productive guy throughout the weekend. He’s a highly adaptable piece whose motor and general nose for the ball allow him to be constantly involved in the action on both ends of the floor. Strand displayed the ability to spot up, move without the ball, and find open seams as a cutter. However, he found most of his production through sheer effort and making hustle plays. Strand is a terrific rebounder who lurks extremely well for putbacks and extra possessions. He finishes above the rim and through contact while actively filling in the gaps however necessary.
6’2 ’26 Nick Keith (AWigg Elite)
There are a lot of enticing pieces on AWigg Elite, which certainly includes Keith and what he provides as a creator and scorer. He’s a crafty, polished guard with a calm demeanor and the ability to consistently generate shots for himself and others. Keith scores the ball from all levels and is comfortable in spot-up situations but is arguably at his best with the ball in his hands. He mixes it up well from all levels while finding ways to impact the game as a defender and rebounder.
6’2 ’28 Gary Grear (KOC)
Although it’s easy to appreciate the entirety of this KOC group, Grear clearly stands out as a leader and focal point. He’s a smart, heady floor general who controls the action as the main creator. Grear displays a crafty handle, quality playmaking sense, and the ability to assert himself as a scorer in various ways. He’s quick enough to consistently break down opponents and touch the paint, but can also knock down jumpers off the catch or bounce. Grear is also a pesky defender and useful rebounder.
