James Lee 5’10” MPJ Elite: A talented scoring point guard from Father Tolton who could create plenty of offense in a short amount of time. He has solid quickness to get by defenders, but he also has a high basketball IQ and he knows how to play the angles to get to his spots on the floor. He got buckets from all three levels and did it while staying under control and not forcing too many bad shots.
Tay Patrick Tay Patrick 5'8" | PG Battle | 2023 State MO 5’9″ Self Built Hybrid: A thick-bodied point guard who displayed creative bucket-getting skills throughout the weekend. In the game I watched, he scored a game-high 31 points while hitting seven 3-pointers. Much of his action came off the dribble as he used his physical strength and executed some nice escape dribbles to create space. He also used his quick hands on the defensive end to pick pockets in the open court.
CJ Lang 6’0″ Gateway-Knights: Very active combo guard from Webster Groves who displayed the ability to impact the game at both ends of the floor. He has quick hands and applies excellent defensive pressure to force turnovers. On the offensive end, he’s an excellent penetrator and finisher in the lane who loves to create tempo. He can change the flow of the game with just a few big plays.
Mikey Thomas Mikey Thomas 6'1" | SG St. Joe Lafayette | 2023 State MO 6’0″ 816 Hoops-Shamet: A solid combo guard from St. Joe Lafayette who was impressive his perimeter shooting ability and high rate of activity. He can play off the ball and knock down open 3-pointers or attack the basket with tough takes through contact. He’s always competing hard for rebounds and loose balls.
Christian Hughes Christian Hughes 6'2" | CG Kirkwood | 2023 State MO 6’1″ Gateway-Knights: An athletic combo guard from Kirkwood who excels on or off the basketball on the offensive end. He attacks the basket well and can finish well in traffic with his soft shooting touch and leaping ability. He can also make perimeter shots off the catch when defenders back off of him.
