City Rankings: Top 2023 PGs from the Eastside

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This group of guards all play at a high level, but all get the job done a little differently. They range in size, from 6'6 to 5'5, some are strong and prodding, and some are lighting quick and ultra-aggressive. These point guards represent the best of the best from the Eastside and will be players to watch in the coming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62fd40283a76a","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["923129"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eNo. 1 u003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003e| Tyukalo is more of a combo guard than strictly a point, but last year at Bothell he had the ball in his hands a lot and that was true for this summer as well. His size and ability to stretch the floor with the deep jumper are unique for a primary playmaker. He's had a strong summer, showing off a more polished and well-rounded version of his game. Look for him to be a big playmaker for Eastside Catholic next season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1371803"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eNo. 2 u003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003e| The crafty guard is highly adept at breaking down defenders and scoring at the hoop. Even at his size, Kageyama excels at finding room around the hoop and owes a lot of his success to a tight handle and good quickness with the ball. He's a solid shooter too and with his ability to create space, is capable of going on solo scoring runs.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["923133"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eNo. 3 u003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003e| Yu is a big, strong guard who is superb at taking care of the ball. He shifts his body around, keeping it between the defender and the ball, but is able to keep those eyes up looking to attack or find teammates. The majority of his scoring is inside and even knowing that defenses are rarely able to keep him out. He's a solid defender too and wears out opponents on both sides of the ball.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1270693"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eNo. 4 u003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003e| Lewis might be the shiftiest guard on the list. He's an absolute blur in transition and constantly sends defenders running in the wrong direction with just a shake. He can knock down the three if left open and is highly skilled at making quick decisions when attacking the hoop. A true dime dropper, Lewis sets up his passes to perfection and is one of the more skilled guards at passing on the move.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1270691"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eNo. 5 u003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003e| Blackwell is now one of the leaders in a very gifted backcourt at Kentridge. He's a big-time threat from long range and also leads the way with his defensive effort. The tiny guard has springs and quick hands that can surprise opponents with steals and blocks. You feel his presence on the court and he's definitely not one to give up on a play.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["923107"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eNo. 6 u003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003e| Chen is one of the smaller players you'll see that actually has success at the 4A level. He doesn't struggle to score inside and can balance that attack out with some nice three-point shooting. His first priority is running the point and getting the offense going. As you'd expect, he's very quick and even finds ways to chip in on the boards with great activity and motor. Chen is someone who has a strong understanding of what it takes for him to succeed on the court, and he executes it consistently.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"edit"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
