Prospect Rankings Update: 2018 Top Point Guards (Tier 3)
The second tier of 2018 PGs has many undersized talents. Size does matter in college basketball and most of these guys thrive in high school because they simply outquick their peers. How far can Mac James, Kevon McMahon, Jordan Lockridge take their jet-quick acts? This is the final season to prove they are college-good.
You can see the complete 2018 rankings here.
#53 Isaiah Sulack
Instead of accepting his D2 offers Isaiah Sulack elected to train with Believe Prep for a year, play more on the ball hopefully and prove he is a college-level point. Team NLP like to play the 6-foot-5 handler in the backcourt, but his life was originally spent as a wing.
#55 Kevon McMahon
Three years ago Kevon was right there with Alex Lomax, Martrell Brooks, and all of the other exceptional Team Penny players. While their bodies developed Kevon stayed smaller. He is very, very quick and can push tempo. He can be a nice D3 starter.
#56 Mycan “Mac” James
From Brentwood Academy as a freshman, transfer Mac James (Independence) does more than just run the offense. He can knock down open triples too.
#57 Mullek Bradford
Teammate of Jr. Clay, Mullek Bradford deserves more LM looks. He had scant interest from Tennessee Tech and projects as an elite D2 or LM guard.
#58 Isaiah Bowers
Sturdy with a low center of gravity, this 6-foot-1 ball handler will feature prominently for Whites Creek this fall. Bowers appears to be a gifted defender with crisp handle.
#59 Antwan “A.J.” Beans
The loyal PG ran with Team Magic Elite, coached by Coach Cowboy. He gets overlooked on the statewide stage. We might even be putting him too low. Ridgeway looks to have a deeper team this winter with Will Wilson transferring in. Beans sees their projected starters as himself, Thomas, Wilson, Tyler Haynes, and lefty Brandon Mason.
#61 Dillon Fountain
Maybe Dillon Fountain belongs in the top 50. Earning All-State honors Class A certainly suggests it. How far Fountain takes Wartburg Central in his senior year will determine his final 2018 ranking.
#68 Darron Jones
Clinton’s point guard generally scored in double figures in 2016-2017 for a staunchly defensive unit.
#79 Jordan Lockridge
By default Lockridge is listed as a point guard. Truly he looks to score on most possessions. Central TN defenders know this blur well and try to sag off him to protect their self-esteem.
#81 K.J. Hawkins
Karns’ K.J. keeps the ball close and evades pocket-pickers with ease. His best attribute remains intensity as Hawkins seemingly never tires.
