Milos Uzan 6’3 Desert Pines – The list of PG’s start with Uzan. The kid has one of the best handles in the state. Changes direction quickly and effortlessly. Throwback PG in that his team follows his lead. Willing passer that can deliver on time and on target passes whether standing still or off the bounce. Love watching players that are allowed to play to their strength. Uzan is surrounded by several talented players and his ability to keep them engaged will be key to DP’s season success.
Damion Byrd 5’10 Silverado – I think I have to use the underrated label with Byrd. Unless you’re a basketball purest you might not understand what he brings to the table. A pure floor general, Byrd is always going to make the right decision no matter if it’s flashy or not. His strengths include his ability from the neck up. High IQ player that doesn’t waste dribbles or movement. Understands P&R basketball at a high level, and is a master at driving, drawing two and kicking to the open man.
Tavionte Jackson 5’8 Las Vegas – You can argue that Jackson is actually more of a combo, however his ballhandling and playmaking ability place him in the PG category. One of the better shooters in the group, Jackson uses the threat of his shot to accentuate his driving ability. He came onto the scene getting buckets, and I expect an even better 2nd season.
Jamir Stephens 5’11 Desert Pines – It’s going to be difficult to pressure DP this season. Stephens would probably be the alpha on many teams. For DP he has found a role as a lane runner and rim finisher. Stephens may be the best back up 1 in the state. In the summer he plays a 17U schedule for the Las Vegas Olympians.
TT Valosek 6’3 Incline – Valosek does not get enough love IMO. He is an oversized PG with the ability to create for his teammates, rebound and create his own shot. He’s a mismatch for most PG’s because of his size, and defenders that lay off him do so at there own risk. Valosek has shown the ability to knock down jumpers off catch and shoot action and with rhythm dribbles.
