The high school season has ended with all eight champions crowned. There are still some good prospects available that can make an impact at the college level. Here is the list of the best remaining point guards in the class of 2020.

She has good athleticism and dribble moves to create her own shot and create scoring opportunities for her teammates. She uses her speed to get to the basket in transition and is a coast to coast threat. In the half-court, her first step gets her by most perimeter defenders. She is an average three-point shooter but has a very consistent mid-range jump shot. She also has good court vision which leads to assist for her teammates. She plays with an edge on the defensive side on the ball and takes pride in getting stops or locking up on her assignment. She currently has interest from Mercer, Alabama State, Alabama A&M, Kennesaw State, and FGCU per her head coach.</span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="118075" first="Trinity" last="Jones"] | 5’5 | PG | Americus-Sumter</strong></span>
Jones ended her high school career with a 4A State Championship. She has been great for her 29-2 Americus-Sumter squad. She handles the primary ball-handling responsibility very well. She has a good understanding of the game and often anticipates the defenses decisions before they happen and has the passing ability to get the ball where it needs to be for multiple assists. She is a confident player that does not get rattled no matter the pressure by the defense. She is also a good three-point shooter that can make 2-3 every game. She has the lateral quickness and physical strength to defend other point guards at the next level.
<strong><span style="font-size: 14pt">Kayla Sesberry | 5’4 | PG | Douglass</span></strong>
Sesberry is the second point guard to make this list that ended her season with a State Championship. The 2A state champion lead her team in a major way getting it done on both ends of the floor. I first saw Kayla at the South Atlanta Invitational at she showed a great all-around game. She is athletic, strong, and skilled and has a motor that does not stop when she is in the game. She can finish contested at the rim and has a very consistent three-point shot with range. She can score at every level using quick first steps to get off floaters or stepbacks to shoot the mid-range or three. She is a great teammate as well. Everyone on her Douglass squad speaks highly of her and her commitment to their team. She is a hard worker that has been under the radar for some time. She currently has offers from Georgia Southwestern, Fort Valley, Motlow, Lawson State, and Central Wyoming.
<strong><span style="font-size: 14pt">[player_tooltip player_id="153153" first="Nyelle" last="Lee"] | 5’4 | PG | Grayson</span></strong>
This is probably the best example of a true point guard on this list. Lee is an extension of her coaching staff in every aspect when she is on the floor and even on the bench. She is a vocal leader that has that unique ability to influence her teammates with both her voice and example. She is very fast with the ball in her hand and loves to get out in transition to put pressure on defenses. She does a good job of knowing when to score herself and dish out pinpoint passes for her teammates. Her team plays differently when she is on the floor because she brings energy and effort that is infectious. She would be a great addition to any locker room because you can trust that she is going to work hard and hold others accountable to do the same.

<strong><span style="font-size: 14pt">[player_tooltip player_id="118078" first="Jalyn" last="Bell"] | 5’7 | PG | Parkview</span></strong>
The Parkview point guard battled against adversity for her final season. She was injured just before the season opener and after returning, took a while to get back in the groove. She came on strong for the second have of the season and showed her point guard skill set. Bell is a point guard that operates well within an offense. She does a good job of executing sets and understands how to go through the progressions of an offense. She has decent athleticism that shows in transition and her ability to get to the rim in a hurry. She has a nice shooting touch and a much improved three-point shot. She is currently hearing from Xavier-New Orleans, UNC Pembrook, Lander, and Augusta University per her coach.
<strong><span style="font-size: 14pt">[player_tooltip player_id="153109" first="Jadah" last="Waite"] | 5’6 | PG | Wheeler</span></strong>
An aggressive offensive-minded point guard that can score the ball in multiple ways. She is a volume scorer but when she has it going the points tally up quickly. She is dangerous in transition and looks to take whatever the defense gives whether it is getting to the rim, a mid-range pull up, or a stop and pop three. She shows that she has the ability to read and react to make good passes to open teammates or counter moves to score it herself. She has had multiple 20-point games on the season and takes on the responsibility to put the ball in the basket for her team. She is a scorer and is sure to add points to any offense at the college level. She is a gem for small schools still looking.
