A Few Top PG’s at the Halfway Point

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>My coach used to say that there are three people that can never take a day off: 1) coach, 2) best player, and 3) point guard. The point guard might be the most important position on the floor. Let's take a look at some PG's doing really </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["409113"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"The 2025 Davey Crocket PG is averaging 9.7 assists per game.  That's an elite high school number.   If you watch her play, you simply get a sense that she intuitively know where her teammates will be and where they want the basketball to be in position to score.  Only averages 7 points....but she does her job at an extremely high level.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["810510"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Sometimes you don't know how good, or important, a player is until you don't have them.  Farragut HS has had a tough year.  They've played an extremely hard schedule, they fight and claw and scratch and keep every game close.  But, they are still hanging around .500 in large part because of the subtraction of Priest as she's battled injuries.  She's a true PG that leads her teammates, that exudes confidence, and makes everyone around them better.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["405707"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Pearly-Cohn has come out this year with some bite!  And that's due in large part to Thomas' leadership from the PG spot.
