Continue ReadingThis series will take a look at different positional categories in the classes of 2024 and later 2023 that provided some intriguing summers with their play on the court, showing consistency, flashes of high level ability, and competitiveness. We look at the 2024 combo guards, shooting guards, and wings today.
Andrell Burton, 6’4 G, Buddy Buckets Kansas 2024 (Pictured): When it’s all said and done could be one of the top prospects in the group of 2024s in Kansas. Has the length, wingspan, athletic ability, and growing basketball traits to get him there. Thrives in transition, has a solid handle and ability to attack in the half court, and has shown a little jumper in his game. Lives on the glass on both ends of the floor, plays passing lanes really well, and is a highlight waiting to happen. Had a huge summer.
Spencer Coup, 5’10 G, SSA Elite 2024 Black: Shown some point guard ability as well, but showed to be much more comfortable playing as a two guard. Was terrific in the catch and shoot game from 3 this summer and has a solid IQ to attack defenses. Plays really tough on both ends of the floor as well.
Wesley Edison Wesley Edison 6'3" | SF Lawrence Free State | 2024 KS , 6’3 G, Buddy Buckets Kansas 2024: Is a dynamic combo guard with a great ability to attack the basket. Can get to the foul line at a large rate and converts there pretty nicely and has a nice arsenal of finishes off the bounce. Great physical traits on the basketball floor and plays with confidence on the offensive end.
Emmitt Gaskill, 6’ G, SSA Elite 2024 Black: A ball of energy on the floor and can make a lot of things happen for his team without having to be the primary ball handler whether its through deflections, offensive rebounds, taking a charge, or getting a loose ball. Plays with a tremendous chip on his shoulders as well which allows him to compete with some high quality opponents. Like his floater game too in the paint and mid post areas.
Devon Bolton, 6’ G, United 15U: A big time slashing guard especially when he can catch the ball up the floor in transition or get it on the wing. Has a solid first step off the bounce and can get guys on his hip all the way to the basket. He is a developing guard prospect that needs to have eyes kept on him this season.
Kale Staats, 6’1 G, Run GMC 15U: An animal on the defensive end of the floor both on and off the ball, and a developing versatile guard on the offensive end. Was looking to take a big leap this spring and summer and he did that. Should be primed for a prime role for a much improved Aquinas team this season.
