PGH Expo IA: Noteworthy Guard Play

In this article we discuss five prospects that had noteworthy guard play at this event this past weekend in Des Moines.   Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!    We saw [player_tooltip player_id='880909' first='Kami' last='Clark'] as a top notch facilitator at this event in every definition of the phrase. Clark is a lengthy CG, that can move between the 1, 2, or 3 spot right now. She can either be your leading scorer as an offensive threat or she can help others get open around her. Which is exactly what she did during this event. She was hitting players in the full court for transition buckets and she was doing the same within the half court offense. Clark is going to be a big piece to Carlisle's puzzle this Winter. If she can step up each evening, they should be able to go some places come Playoff time.     [player_tooltip player_id='880921' first='Callie' last='Stull']'s skill set is pretty impressive. Stull is a guard that understands what she is good at. She knows to bring the ball down the floor efficiently, she knows how to orchestrates those around her into their correct positions so that their system works, and she knows how to control pace of play of the entire game as a whole. We witnessed all of these things on full display at this event out of Stull. She held her own and kept it simple, things that all coaches love to see from an outside perspective.     [player_tooltip player_id='1044923' first='Abby' last='Wedemeier'] is a pass-first PG, that is going to put up some noteworthy performances this Winter at CR - Kennedy High School. Wedemeier is the guard on your team that you want to have the ball a majority of the time. The way that she can handle pressure, lead by example, and create for those around her is impressive. There were a good amount of skilled guards at this event and this is someone who stood out as one of the best overall as a PG. She wasn't killing anyone with flash but more-so with fundamental and easy play. The type of play that will translate to the next level one day if she continues to keep on working on her craft.     I've said it once and I'll say it again, [player_tooltip player_id='909494' first='Emma' last='Walkup'] is as smooth as they come as a guard. I would consider her more of a PG than a SG but she knows how to score it in so many ways that you can go either way honestly. Walkup has an effortless handle, great vision on and off the ball, and an act for always making a play when it's needed the most. We watched Walkup hit shots over defenders all afternoon while also being a willing passer. She is the type to never be too high or too low attitude wise, always staying pretty mellow, even in success and that makes her even more intriguing in the grand scheme of things.     The skill set, length, and knowledge of the game that [player_tooltip player_id='868177' first='Celia' last='Scherr'] possesses is going to take her places in this game. Scherr is one of those prospects that takes what the defense gives her. If there is open space, she steps into a simple pull up jump shot. If she is overplayed on the shot, she can put it on the floor and dribble into open space for a better look. She can even score over smaller defenders near the hoop with her lengthy arms. All in all, this was a good showing for Scherr. She did her thing and played consistently well throughout.
