With these, we want to highlight 3 players who are similar in class and position. Get some time to dive into some quick thoughts, stat breakdowns, and film. Today, we are looking at 2022 Point Guards in Ifeanyi Ezeakudo Ifeanyi Ezeakudo 5'10" | PG Homestead | 2022 IN , E.J. Smith E.J. Smith 6'1" | PG Noblesville | 2022 State IN , and Charlie Smith Charlie Smith 6'1" | PG Fishers | 2022 State IN .

– 5’10 PG 2022 – Homestead (IN)
Stats: 0.4 ppg, 0.2 rpg, 0.3 apg
Thoughts: Ezeakudo is a solid lead guard with tons of length and some speed. He’s really quick in the open floor and decision making looks solid. He is a good athlete that should be able to grow and develop well. I would think he could become taller but not sure how far, yet. He will be an interesting prospect to watch in the coming years.
E.J. Smith

– 5’9 PG 2022 – Noblesville (IN)
Stats: 8.4 ppg, 1.4 rpg, 1.2 apg, 41% 3pt
Thoughts: Smith is a slight guard with some great speed and a feel for the game. He’s the type of guy that is willing to do a lot of the work and really light it up when he gets his chances. He has a really good idea of where he needs to be and is willing to bypass a shot for a teammate’s chance and that for a young guard is really helpful for their development. This should really grow with this team in future seasons.

Fishers | 2022

– 6’1 PG 2022 – Fishers (IN)
Stats: 7.7 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 3.2 apg
Thoughts: Charlie is a bigger guard who has some size on the frame and should really round out pretty quickly here. He is pretty advantageous as Fishers plays in the open floor a lot. He had a couple of really tough drives at the rim, and you could tell that he’s able to finish those plays because he can take a hit. He has grown a bit so will be interesting to see how things grow. He should be a top point guard in the coming years.
