With the newly updated 2023 rankings coming out this week, let’s jump into some positional breakdowns. Here’s a look at the top Sophomore point guards. We are going to skip over the players in the Top 10 of the class since those players have already been broken down in our Top 10 article.
Colin PorterColinPorter5'10" | PGAshland | 2023StateKY, Ashland - Porter is one of the names in this class that seems to have been playing varsity for a decade now but he’s having a rough Sophomore season, shooting wise. His ultimate ceiling as a prospect will depend on if he grows anymore but Colin knows how to run a team and is a good playmaker.
Sam ParrishSamParrish6'0" | PGTates Creek | 2023StateKY, Tates Creek - Parrish is having a breakout Sophomore year and is in the mix for top 2023s in Central Ky and is our top ranked 2023 in Lexington. A really good athlete, Sam was shooting the lights out early this season but his numbers have come back to earth a little in recent weeks.
Zamareon McCown

Zamareon McCown
ZamareonMcCown5'6" | PGPleasure Ridge Park | 2023StateKY, PRP - What he lacks in height, Zee makes up for with toughness and skill. McCown is an excellent shooter at the point guard spot and can create his own offense or get teammates open looks off dribble penetration. He’s a growth spurt away from being on D1 radars.
Meechie WhiteMeechieWhite6'3" | PGMale | 2023StateKY, Male - Probably the highest ceiling of any player on this list, White is long and athletic but really needs to get stronger as he takes a beating every game as he flies around the court making plays. Meechie has a chance to be really good depending on how much work he puts in while he’s in the weight room.
Trey SkaggsTreySkaggs6'5" | PGMadison Central | 2023StateKY, Madison Central - Trey’s stock has taken a hit with a rough Sophomore season so far but he still has the potential to break out of his slump and show why he has long been considered a top player in this class. Skaggs has been more of a facilitator than a scorer this year but needs to find his offense again for Central to make a run in the 11th.
