Who are Some Guards Who Can Create Buckets

Prep Girls Hoops Missouri takes a look at the group of guards who showed us how to create buckets during our stay in Louisville at the Run 4 Roses Classic. With a shot clock being utilized throughout the event, these players came in real handy when it came to creating a good shot at the end of the clock to avoid the turnover.     <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/07/IMG_3666.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1880463" /></figure>   Nylah Scales (Phee Elite 17U- Olufson): The 5'7" scoring point guard from Cardinal Ritter is entertaining to watch with her speed and quickness and ability to create off the dribble. She has always been a creative finisher in the paint as she uses the backboard and scores at a variety of angles. She also sizes up defenders to break them down and hit step back 3-pointers. She scored 10 points in Phee's victory over Sister's Keeper in the nationally televised game of the event on ESPN2.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/07/IMG_3597.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1880213" /></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='1039489' first='Maddie' last='Perry'] (Phee Elite 16U- Olufson): The 5'7" 2028 guard from Incarnate Word Academy has been an expert at creating her own offense and getting buckets for many years. She has good quickness, but she also has good patience when it comes to breaking down defenders. She can score at all three levels off the bounce, but she can also move well off the ball and use screens to get herself open to produce points.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/07/IMG_3587.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1880214" /></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='849017' first='Carsyn' last='Hagood'] (MO Nets 17U): A 5'9" 2027 guard from Doniphan who has been scoring at a toast clip since she entered the high school ranks as a freshman. Her forte has always been 3-point shooting, which she can do with extended range. She also can get her offense off the dribble with her physical strength and ability to attack on the drive. She can escape defenders for the jumper and she can also dribble her way down into advantageous post up opportunities in the lane.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/07/IMG_3615.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1883765" /></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='886539' first='Samaiya' last='Johnson'] ([program_tooltip program_id='715824' first='Columbia' last='Supreme'] 16U): A 5'8" 2028 guard from Raymore-Peculiar who is a three-level scorer who can slice into the lane with smooth scoring drives. She doesn't look like she's moving as fast as she's going because of how smooth she plays. She can change speeds well and hit defenders with a burst before pulling up for the mid-range jumper or hitting the step back 3-pointer.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/07/IMG_3567.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1880210" /></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='848994' first='Millison' last='Sapp'] (TL3 17U): The 5'7" 2027 small school point guard from Ash Grove is one of the top shot creators in the SWMO area. She plays with excellent pace as she is able to keep the ball on a string and create an excellent shot for herself. She can get a bucket from all three levels with extended shooting range off the dribble.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/06/IMG_2795.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1871249" /></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='905177' first='Kate' last='Deck'] (Phee Elite 16U Olufson): The 5'8" 2028 guard from Jackson has earned several Division I scholarship offers, thanks largely to her excellent shot creation off the dribble. She changes speeds well and works the angles to get herself into the lane to hit mid-range jumpers and runners. She can also dial it up from 3-point range off the dribble.
