A pure PG is crafty, tough and smart. He has good quicks with the ball in his hands and is looking to set up his teammates. He uses his speed to get passed his defenders and will finish.

Zaire Richardson Zaire Richardson 5'11" | CG San Tan Charter | 2025 State AZ Gilbert
An undersized PG is talented. He knows how to change speeds and the ball is on a string for him. He sees plays developing quickly and he makes extra passes but he has a knack for getting into the teeth of the defense and dropping off a dime to a cutting teammates. He is smart off the pick and roll and has a floater game.

A lefty PG with a good feel for the game. He changes speeds and is smart off the pick and roll. He makes bounce passes to teammates look easy and will make a catch-3. He can score through contact and is a tough player.

Another top-tier shooter lets it fly from anywhere on the court. He has real range and plays the game with a high IQ. He makes good passes and has a good feel for the game like many point guards do. His game is his 3pt shooting stroke but he can bring more to the table.
