2022 Position Rankings: PG’s
The HS season is over and we are diving into the individual player rankings for the Sophs. We start with the point guards.
There will probably be a lot of movement from now until the next HS season since many will train, play in big events, possibly get more exposure than their smaller schools to fully be evaluated versus some of the best in the West.
