Gregory Allen (2023, 5-7, Point Guard, Muskegon Heights High School)
STRENGTHS:
– Allen can score in bunches from the lead guard position.
– He can shoot off the dribble and off the catch.
– Allen is a solid ball handler and is very fast with the ball.
– He has a solid basketball IQ.
– Good passer that averaged about 5-6 assists per game last year.
– Allen has good speed and quickness (it’s easy to tell that he’s a track athlete as well).
Chris Sitto Chris Sitto 5'10" | PG Utica Stevenson | 2022 MI (2022, 5-10, Point Guard / Shooting Guard, Stevenson High School)
STRENGTHS:
– Sitto can play on or off the ball with effectiveness. I can really see him transitioning to the next level at the point. He likes to get his teammates the ball in scoring positions, but can get buckets whenever he needs to.
– He’s a natural playmaker that can create for himself and for his teammates (averaged about 16 points and 6 assists per game last season).
– Sitto has very good court vision. He plays with his head up and knows where his teammates are at all times.
– He’s a strong perimeter defender that can create turnovers and block shots. Sitto can pressure the ball and force his man to pick up his dribble.
Travon Steverson (2022, 6-2, Point Guard, Wayne Memorial)
STRENGTHS:
– Steverson is a pass first point that loves to feed his teammates.
– He can break down defenders with the dribble.
– Steverson can get in the lane and dump the ball off to open or cutting teammates.
– He’s a very athletic and smooth guard.
– Steverson can finish at the rim with both hands.
– He’s developed his defensive skills and has shown stopper potential.
