Continue ReadingThere is a saying amongst basketball coaches that goes like this: “There are three people that are never allowed to have a bad practice: 1) head coach, 2) best player, and 3) point guard.” This simply goes to show the importance of the position, as the PG is often the leader of the team, and an extension of the coach on the floor. Let’s look at some of the best PG’s in the 2025 class.
Flowers is absolutely high-level PG, and one of the best guards in her class. Smart with the ball in her hands, tight handles, she’s looking to get downhill and attack. A multi-level scoring threat, she can shoot that ball like it’s nobody’s business. She has a high basketball IQ, where she makes the right plays at the right time. She’s selfless, looking for teammates before getting her own buckets. She’s tough on the defensive end, a nuisance at that. The Florida Gulf Coast commit will look to lead her team back to state contention. Ultra competitive kid.
Speedy dual sport athlete. She’s a lefty and has a sweet release from the perimeter. A 3 level scoring threat that has amazing court vision. She can take to the rack, pull up for a mid-range J, be utilized in the screen game, and of course launch it from the perimeter. She’s a lockdown defender who can sit down and guard, pressuring the ball the full length of the floor. Selfless player who is looking to do whatever it takes to help her team win. A kid who isn’t afraid to step up in crucial moments.
Harmony is coming off a missed sophomore season due to an ACL tear, but she completed her volleyball season healthy (great 2 sport athlete with over 1000 assists in her volleyball career already) and is 100% ready to go for her Morristown East high school team. There is not a more athletic guard in East Tennessee, and there is not a better or tougher on ball defender than Harmony. Also adept handling the ball and finding open teammates, harmony is super strong taking the ball to the rim. She will be expected to be the centerpiece of her Morristown East team and key to their success as a junior.
Sophie is a two time state champion coming into her junior year, and with the graduation of multiple power five players from Webb, Sophie will be expected to shoulder a heavy ball handling load for the always ultra talent Webb program. Running this type of team takes a real poised leader and McInturf is that.
Sophie’s best attributes are incredible pure athleticism, which makes her dangerous in the open court and super as an on ball defender. She can hit from distance as well (including having a buzzer beating game-winning 3 against WV Thunder that went viral on Twitter).
