The Top 2016 Point Guards

The Top 2016 Point Guards

Recapping the top play-makers in the 2016 class, I think is a dynamite core of mid-major level players.  “You win with guards!”  These prospects are considered for now the top guys at the position.

Rodney Herenton    6-1    MM+-MM    Chicago Young
“System type; plays under-control; very smart offensive game; a rising Stanford recruit.”

Charlie Moore    5-10    MM    Chicago Morgan Park
“Loyola-Chicago is courting him; already has 2 state titles under his belt; proven winner.”

Mike Smith    5-10    MM    Fenwick
“Has his team off to a 5-0 start; knows how to run a team & manage a game.”

Matty Smith    5-10    MM    South-Elgin
“Has major offensive tools; can play in big game setting; will be viewed closely at Jacobs.”

DeAngelo Hughes    5-10    MM    Springfield Southeast
“Blazing speed & quickness while under control; big-time midrange jump shooter & he’s clutch.”

Bryce Barnes    5-10    MM    Chicago Bogan
“Plays in the shadows of others; silk-smooth & capable scorer; can lead a team; St. Luis U. covets.”

Xavier Bishop    5-8    MM    Springfield Lanphier
“Lefty can maneuver his way around, stroke it, but needs to distribute & run his team more; has a recent offer from UMKC.”

Micah Bradford    6-1    MM    Bradley Bourbonnais
“Obtaining a lot of love, but hasn’t been tested on a real stage yet; talented.”

Darius Branch    5-7    MM    Chicago Leo
“Plays at a good pace; clever & shrewd; knows how to set the tone for others & can score.”

Jason Jones    5-10    LM+-LM    Rock Island
“He has to prove me wrong in terms of level I see him at; averages 11.0 per outing; Summit League looks like a good fit.”

D’Aaron Owens    5-10    LM+-LM    Centralia
“Terrific ball-handler; makes good decisions; his value could soar after x-mas.”
