The 2020-21 season is shaping up to be no different as a lot of high level talent at the guard position will be on display throughout the year. As with any post about the top players, I am limiting myself to my personal top 3, and I know that I am leaving a lot of great talent out of this article. However, I do believe that these are my top 3 players at the guard position across the state regardless of classification or league. Continue reading for a look at the top 3 guards to watch in Idaho ahead of the 2020-21 season in no particular order.
Covy Kelly Covy Kelly 6'0" | PG Garden Valley | 2021 State ID , Garden Valley: Kelly is one of the greatest shooters in the state and he is a lethal scorer from anywhere on the court. Covy has quietly amassed a lot of great offensive skills that he puts on full display whenever the Wolverines are playing. In the upcoming season, Kelly will be the go-to player for Garden Valley and I know that he will be able to shoulder the weight with his incredible jumper, great footwork, and overall ability to lead his team to victory.
Titus Yearout Titus Yearout 6'3" | PG Lapwai | 2022 State ID , Lapwai: I would encourage anyone reading this article to make the trip to Lapwai, Idaho to watch Yearout play this season. He is a once in a century type of player who has an amazing feeling for the game and has the ability to score, defend, pass, rebound, and he may even be coaching this year with his high basketball IQ. Titus is a walking triple-double who will also guard the opposing team’s best player and has a tireless motor. If you haven’t heard of Titus before this season, you’re going to want to join the bandwagon early.
Johnny Sugarman Johnny Sugarman 6'0" | PG Ambrose | 2022 State ID , Ambrose: Sugarman is an excellent guard for the Ambrose Archers and he will be putting all of his skills to use this season. Johnny will be looking to lead the Archers on the offensive end as an excellent passer, scorer, and all around floor general. He has the ability to completely take over any game and he can flip a switch in order to kick his game into high gear. Look out for Sugarman to be a great player in the state of Idaho in the upcoming season.
