Anthony Caldwell, Jr. (Lift for Life): A 2022 lefty guard who has good quickness and perimeter shooting ability. He has made it a habit of hitting big 3-pointers at the key parts of games. He is currently averaging a team-high 12.9 points a game while shooting 50 percent from 3-point range. He has been on a good surge last week as he averaged 18 points a game at the Rotating 8 Tournament at Clayton.
Derryl Howard (McKinley): A 6’0″ combo guard who has a smooth offensive skill set. He has a nice stroke from 3-point range with a quick release off the catch. He can create offense off the dribble and he can move well without the ball to get his shots off. He also plays solid on-ball defense on the perimeter.
Amari Foluke (Metro): A 6’1″ 2023 guard who is one of the top scorers in the St. Louis metro area. He is averaged 24.2 points a game to go along with two assists and three steals a game. He has eclipsed the 30-point plateau three times during the season.
Demetrio Barlow Demetrio Barlow 6'2" | CG Kipp St.Louis | 2022 MO (KIPP): A 6’2″ 2022 guard who I watched during the summer season and was impressed with his offensive skills. That has carried over into a very productive senior season. He is currently averaging 15.8 points, five rebounds, three assists and two steals a game.
Ian Thornton (Brentwood): A 5’11” 2023 guard who has been putting up some big numbers for the past two seasons for the Eagles. He averaged 21 points a game as a sophomore and he has increased that to 27.3 points a game as a junior while also shooting 46 percent from 3-point range.
