There are a ton of committed prospects, but still quality group of players that have not found their college homes yet. We will break each group down by position. Here are the Best Available 2020 Shooting Guards.
Antoine Bloxton (Bogan)
Overall Rank: #25
Bloxton is a big time scorer! The shooting guard is extremely fluid and slick scoring the basketball from all three levels. This prospect shows a plus jumper and the ability to create space to get it off. Slick ball handler and makes plays as a passer for an off guard. Bloxton should be one of the go to scorers for the Bengals this season in the CPL. Could be a potential JUCO candidate.
Lashawn Johnson (East St. Louis)
Overall Rank: #35
Johnson is going to be a monster this season for the Flyers. Big time athlete that plays above the rim in transition and is a slick slasher getting to the rim. Smooth looking jumper and can defend all three perimeter positions on the other end.
Jayson Kent (Oak Forest)
Overall Rank: #44
Kent is one of the premier shooters left on the board. Straight fire thrower from beyond the arc. He showcased that in flashes for the Mac Irvin Fire with his ability to knock down outside shots and keep the defense honest. Good length and potential defensively.
Pee Wee Brown (Peoria Manual)
Overall Rank: #46
Brown is just a flat out winner. This shooting guard led Manual to state and carried his Peoria Area Elite squad during the summer. Tough and competitive kid that gets to the rim.
Josh Holmes (De La Salle)
Overall Rank: #48
Holmes is a rangy two guard that can play on the ball if needed. His biggest strength is his ability to knock down shots from three. Moves well off the ball to get open.
Saiveon Williams (Curie)
Overall Rank: #52
Power wing that moved to Chicago from South Carolina for his senior season. His physicality and athleticism jump off the floor. High level defender and rebounder that excels in transition offensively.
Jabari Chiphe (Walter Payton)
Overall Rank: #55
Chiphe is an upside play with his best basketball ahead of him. Right now he is more of a utility player that does a little bit of everything for his team on both ends of the floor.
CJ Nwosu (Von Steuben)
Overall Rank: #83
Big fan of this kids game. He is an athletic two guard that defends at a high level and slashes with a purpose. Plays with a very high motor!
Moory Woods (Alton)
Overall Rank: #85
Woods is a freak show athlete! The Alton shooting guard is a strong and athletic wing that can score from multiple levels of the floor. Gets in the lane off the bounce for scores.
Johnny Close (Rockford Boylan)
Overall Rank: #86
Close is a shooting specialist that can light it up from deep. Quick and concise release from three and moves well without the ball to get open.
Tagen Pearson (Nazareth)
Overall Rank: #87
Pearson is a crafty two guard that knows how to get stuff done. Works well in the mid-range and finishes strong in the paint. Smart basketball player.
Lance Mosley (DePaul Prep)
Overall Rank: #88
Mosley is a plus athlete with potential to defend both backcourt spots. He knocks down shots from three and plays with athleticism in the open floor. Good glue guy at the next level.
Uchenna Egekeze (Huntley)
Overall Rank: #89
Egekeze is the ultimate utility guy! He stuffs the stat sheet on both ends of the floor. Long and rangy two guard that is a big time defender and rebounds well for a guard.
Ryan Sroka (Huntley)
Overall Rank: #92
Sroka is a two guard with scoring prowess. Plus shooter that has a crisp offensive game!
Chase Monkemeyer (St. Charles East)
Overall Rank: #95
Moves well without the basketball and has a crisp and concise three point shot. Mixes in slashes every now and then, but is best as a sharp shooter.
