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 2021 Point Guards in Caden Thomson Caden Thomson 5'10" | PG Franklin Community | 2021 State IN , Dylan Ritter Dylan Ritter 6'1" | PG Zionsville | 2021 State IN , and Logan Van Essen Logan Van Essen 6'0" | PG Illiana Christian | 2021 State IN .

– 5’10 PG 2021 – Franklin Community (IN)
Stats: N/A
Thoughts: Thomson is a long, thin guard that plays with a solid amount of toughness. Pretty good lead guard that can score either from the drive and outside. Also is pretty good about getting his teammates involved. Probably scores most of his points off the catch. He is on the slim side so adding muscle and strength will be a huge factor for him if he plays at the next level. Overall, Thompson is a just a solid prospect that can really do multiple things on both offense and defense.
Dylan Ritter

Ritter
6'1" | PG
Zionsville | 2021
State

– 5’11 PG 2021 – Zionsville (IN)
Stats: N/A
Thoughts: Ritter is a solid lead guard that has some strength to him. Pretty smart player that plays with a good amount of smoothness. Has some solid court vision and is able to set his teammates up to score. Not overly fast but is smart about what shots he takes. Tends to be a little passive at times on offense but does have the ability to breakdown defenders and create a shot. However, he is a real good defender and is not afraid to step-up and make a play. Ritter is a just an overall solid prospect. Not going to provide a ton of points but is going to make the plays to set his team up for success.
Logan Van Essen

Illiana Christian | 2021
State

– 6’0 PG 2021 – Illiana Christian (IN)
Stats: 23.1 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 1.7 apg, 3.1 spg
Thoughts: Van Essen is a tough lead guard that has some quickness to his game. The best ability that Van Essen brings to the table is his excellent ball handling skills. Has some real good slashing ability and shoots the ball very well. Can score in a multitude of ways whether that be his jumper or driving to the rim. Van Essen has the skills to play more of combo guard role at the next level. This high scoring guard should be in for a huge senior season.
