We earlier brought you two installments of our top point guards. Today, we are looking at some of the best shooting and combo guards who have yet to commit to or sign with a college program for next season.
Dalven Brushier, 6-3, Doherty
Brushier is one of the most complete guards in Colorado, and his stock has been rising since he put together a strong summer with The Force club team out of Colorado Springs. Brushier plays with great balance, whether he is penetrating or spotting up for long-range shots, he adept at positioning his body to his advantage. Passes it well. He’s averaging 18.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game for a strong, 19-3 team.
Dominic Coleman, 6-2, Chaparral
Coleman has been a dynamic scorer for the Wolverines this season, averaging 16.6 points to go along with 5.3 rebounds per game. Coleman has developed a strong mid-range game, which is enhancing an already strong ability to get to the rim, where he has the athleticism and strength to finish through contact. Coleman will begin his college career with a junior-college stop, and he’d be a steal for any two-year program out west.
Landon Taliaferro, 6-4, Boulder
Taliaferro is one of the state’s top shooters. He entered Thursday’s Front Range League title game against Fossil Ridge shooting 51 percent (52-of-102) from 3-point range this season. He’s hit four or more 3-pointers in five different games this season and is averaging 17.3 points per game.
Walker Korell, 6-3, Mead
Korell is a high-leaping guard who can finish with authority at the rim, and other parts of his game are quickly catching up to that athleticism. Has a balanced form on his jump shot with a good release and has developed good footwork on the post. Works hard on the glass and has good length as a defender. He’s averaging 15.5 points and 6.1 rebounds per game.
Cameron Horning, 6-2, Glenwood Springs
Horning flies under the radar playing on the Western Slope, but he can score and bunches as well as anyone in his class. His 23.1 points per game are among the state’s leaders, and he also grabs 8.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 3.8 steals per game. Horning is a complete player who would be a big boon to the right small-college program.
Sekou Cisse, 6-4, FNE Warriors
Cisse is as tough-nosed as they come. He drives with tenacity and plays defense with the same zeal. On top of that he is a pretty strong ball-handler who can get teammates involved, and he’s made great strides with his outside shot. He’s a player who consistently makes winning plays. Cisse will begin with college career at a juco and is currently looking at programs in the Rocky Mountain region, as well as a few near the New York area, where he lived before transferring out to Colorado.
Jack Studer, 6-3, Conifer
Studer is athletic combo guard who has long been able to attack the basket with his burst, but he’s developed into a complete player. At 6-3, Studer is essentially a “20-10” player, averaging 19.2 points and 9.4 rebounds per game.
