Landing first among all 5A athletes in assists per game, at 6.4, Weber brings immense skill as either a shotmaker or facilitator. Bringing in constant scoring gravity in the mid-range, he does well drawing out multiple opponents, taking advantage of small openings. As one of the leaders for Palmer, the guard’s impact on one of the top Colorado Springs programs will be essential towards their playoff goals next season.
Highlights
A patient lead guard who looks to play to his strengths within the halfcourt. A physical playmaker with the ball, Manzani looks to get a head of steam downhill before moving away opponents while attacking the rim. He is a willing passer, actively making the extra pass off of help. His assists per game of 5.8 ranked him 2nd among all 5A athletes this past season.
Highlights
Fulcher is a shifty playmaker who brings three level scoring ability, adept at quickly rising up for off-balance jumpers. Effective changing speeds quickly, most high school opponents have trouble staying in front of Fulcher due to his unpredictable habits with the ball. The guard landed in the top-25 for 6A points per game, no easy feat.
Roark’s high motor plays a pivotal role in his impact, quick to get up for second chance opportunities. A willing rebounder on both ends of the floor, the guard has a nose for the ball, active kick starting offensive possessions. They continue to show value as a shotmaker in the mid-range, off the dribble or catch. Finishing in the top-20 for assists per game with Stargate, Roark has no trouble making the extra pass when necessary.
Highlights
Hamma’s talented shotmaking this past season cannot be overlooked, above 60% inside the arc and nearly 40% on three point attempts. Capable of handling pressure at the point of attack, the lead guard is tough to contain, given his ability to change speeds.
A pesky defender at the point of attack, Anderson is quick to take away space, looking to put pressure on the opponents early on. The guard maintains active hands alongside quick reactions, effectively forcing opponents to a particular direction. On the opposite end, he leverages his low center of gravity to maneuver through tight spaces. Anderson keeps his head up for the next pass, eager to set up Premier’s array of shotmakers.
Dee-Mortensen remains a decisive playmaker with the ball while bringing in good size in the backcourt. Effective attacking to the rim following a variety of combo moves, the guard is proactive getting downhill for his attempts. Should the defense sag off, he has been capable of rising up for attempts over the closeout, willing versus ball pressure.
A particularly high motor guard, Mack has a nose for the ball, seemingly always in play for rebounds. Bringing in notably quick acceleration, the guard can blow by opponents while handling the rock. One of the higher IQ decision makers in this class, Mack constantly surveys the defense for openings in driving lanes. Defensively, the guard stays active in the passing lanes, quick to jump in for steals and kickstart fast breaks.
