Continue ReadingIn contrast to yesterday’s article on the top bigs from the class of 2023, an article must be written that highlights the top guards from the class of 2023 in order to please the basketball gods and balance out the basketball universe. By nature of the way that humans grow and develop, there are a lot more guards in the rankings for the class of 2023 than bigs, which makes this much harder to narrow down. Overall, there are some really great guards that will not be featured on this list but probably deserve to be. Continue reading for a look at the top guards from the class of 2023 rankings update.
Jaxon Dines Jaxon Dines 5'10" | PG Homedale | 2023 State ID , Homedale: Dines is a quality guard for Homedale who has been making a significant impact on the program since his freshman season. Jaxon can score at all levels and can really heat up once he sees the ball go through the hoop once or twice. Dines is very quick and has a tight handle on the ball which allows him to get to his favorite spots on the floor before rising up and hitting the jumper, or driving all the way to the basket and finishing with either hand.
Zach Johnson Zach Johnson 6'2" | SF Lake City | 2023 State ID , Lake City: Johnson is another member of Lake City’s deadly group from the class of 2023. Johnson is an offensive juggernaut who can score at will in a variety of ways. His deep three pointer is deadly and he can easily drive past defenders who close out too far. On defense, Johnson is a scrappy defender who plays bigger than his listed size and does not back down. Zach is a core part of the Lake City program and will look to lead them this season.
Braeden Blackmore Braeden Blackmore 6'2" | SG Bonners Ferry | 2023 State ID , Bonners Ferry: Blackmore is one of the most dynamic guards from the class of 2023 and he can score at a high level while also rebounding extremely well. Braeden has posted a bunch of double-doubles in his career already and he has shown no signs of slowing down. Braeden has already shown that he can shoot from deep and drive to the basket and this upcoming season will give him even more of a chance to take over offensively for Bonners Ferry.
