<p class="has-medium-font-size"><em>Orlando was filled with talent in the back half of July, we take a look at some of the top guards in the class of 2025 that performed well. </em></p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Astorino is a small guard that has great range and is a scorer. She was the best player on the court in multiple games knocking down multiple 3s and playing the role of playmaker with the ball in her hands. She did a good job pushing the tempo, looking to play in transition. When left open, she shot the ball well from 3 off the catch as well as put the ball to the floor showcasing a 1-2 dribble pull up as well as the ability to get to the rim!</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1197975' first='Adejah' last='Corbin']</strong> (Tre Mann Elite Bradley) 5'6 Guard – Class of 2025</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Corbin was a new face for me as she is a long, athletic guard that played well in the open floor. Given space in the half court, Corbin was a very effective penetrator, getting to the rim attacking off the bounce! She wants to score every time she touches the ball and does a good job using her handle and explosiveness to get by her defenders!</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='495973' first='Sofia' last='Duque']</strong> ([program_tooltip program_id='715746' first='J' last='Sizzle'] 2025 Howard) 5'4 Shooting Guard – Class of 2025</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Duque has a very similar game to <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='506043' first='Sienna' last='Astorino'] </strong>but is more of a shooting guard than a point guard. She has 3-point range and shoots a high percentage when left open. She stays shot ready from the wing and the baseline and is a threat with space and time. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>V'Davrielle Johnson</strong> (Impact Elite 2025) 5'7 Guard – Class of 2025</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Johnson may be one of the most athletic players in the country. At 5'7, she can fly all over the court and impact the game as an offensive rebounder, a shot blocker, a rim runner, and a penetrator. Her athleticism is her strongest asset, and her skill set continues to improve every time I see her play. Her body looks like that of a college player and she has a huge upside!</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Shelton is a bigger guard who can play the shooting guard and wing spot. She was the first or second best player in multiple games and plays with a feistiness and a strong competitiveness. She has the ability to score off the dribble but her strongest attribute is her to knock down open 3s. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Madeline O'Berski</strong> (Impact Elite 2025) 5'10 Wing – Class of 2025</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">If Johnson is one of the most athletic players in the class of 2025, O'Berski may be one of the most skilled players in the class of 2025. She has a strong, versatile skill set with a high basketball IQ and excellent court vision. O'Berski is a great decision maker who can play multiple positions and plays with great speed and tempo. </p>
