By: Southeast Hoops Report
6-3 PG Beckham Black, Southeastern Preparatory Academy (FL)- 2027
Black is arguably one of the top-ranked point guards as well as overall players in the country, according to multiple scouting services. Standing at 6-foot-3, Black makes excellent decisions with the basketball in his hands, and he often at times gets his teammate CJ Rosser involved in the action. He has a great understanding of floor spacing and timing when it comes to his passing ability, as well as opening up the floor for scoring on all three levels. On the defensive end, his athleticism and frame allow him to be effective in the passing lanes, guard heavily on the ball, and rebound well for his size. Overall, Black could play a huge role this upcoming season for Southeastern Prep.
6-0 PG Cayden Daughtry, Calvary Christian Academy (Fort Lauderdale) (FL)- 2027
Daughtry operates as a pass-first guard, where he can split defenders with his ability to attack the basket and kick out to open shooters. He has a tight handle that remains under control, allowing him to navigate to his spots and score on all three levels. On the defensive end, he applies relentless ball pressure, quick-footed movement, and athleticism where he can cover the passing gaps. Overall, he has improved his physical strength, and he can finish around the rim while being unafraid to absorb contact.
6-2 PG Aaron Britt Jr., The Villages Charter HS (FL)- 2027 (Texas Tech commit)
Britt is a true point guard who makes his teammates better around him on the offensive end. Standing at 6-foot-2, Britt has built his game where he allows his quickness and decision-making to be effective. On the defensive end, he is a reliable and quick guard who competes with both pressure and effort, and he can cover the passing gaps, often turning steals into scores in transition. He also plays with a ton of length and is unafraid to challenge himself on the boards, where he limits the opposition from getting second-chance scoring opportunities.
6-1 PG Myles Fuentes, DME Academy (FL)- 2027
Fuentes is a pure point guard who consistently operates with tempo and creates for his teammates on the offensive end. He has a confident mid-range jump shot as well as strong passing skills on the move, where he can drive-and-kick to open shooters. He impacts the game without needing to be the primary scorer and has a great understanding of how he can elevate his game in any given system. On the defensive end, he is quick and elusive when it comes to his movement, where he can stay in front of opposing guards, disrupt offensive flow, and be active in the passing lanes. Overall, he has a great feel and understanding of the game, and he will have a strong senior season.
6-3 PG Tai Bell, Columbus HS (FL)- 2028
Bell possesses a great influence on the game, where he plays with an impressive pace and can make smart decisions when he has the basketball in his hands. He rarely forces passes and often finds open teammates for a clean look to score. On the offensive end, he can score on all three levels, whether it’s creating his own shot off the bounce or off a catch. On the defensive end, he is disruptive when it comes to pursuing the passing lanes and is quick when it comes to staying in front of opposing guards. Overall, his tight handle on offense and the ability to impact the game in multiple ways speak volumes. He is projected to be a high-major guard who can play both on and off the ball.
6-4 PG Michai White, Prolific Prep (FL)- 2028
The 6-foot-2 point guard does a great job finding cutters and shooters off live-dribble actions that many guards his age simply don’t see. He is very efficient when it comes to changing speeds effectively in the half-court, using hesitation moves to slow down defenders before attacking downhill. White is a willing and capable passer out of the pick-and-roll, hitting the roll man on time, where he makes strong and crisp passes to his teammates to finish at the rim. White is also comfortable initiating offense against pressure, which matters against teams that like to trap smaller guards. The game slows down for him in a way that’s uncommon for someone his age.
6-2 PG Quentin Mosby, IMG Academy (FL)- 2028
Mosby shows a ton of confidence when it comes to initiating the offense, where his tempo and patience are mature for his age. He does a great job when it comes to not rushing or forcing a bad shot when he has the basketball in his hands. He’s comfortable when it comes to getting off a solid shot at the rim, whether it’s coming off ball screens or in isolation. On the defensive end, he brings energy when it comes to guarding the opposing team’s primary ball handler as well as showcasing active hands in the passing lanes. He also plays with a high motor, and he can crash the boards and showcase his athleticism when pursuing the boards. Overall, he has a great understanding of timing and spacing, and he doesn’t get rattled when being blitzed by opposing guards. Overall, he will need to be more consistent when it comes to his jump shot, as well as play primarily as a combo guard more than a point guard due to his size.
6-3 PG Nasir Anderson, Prolific Prep (FL)- 2027
Anderson is a lead guard who consistently gets downhill, where he uses his strength and change of pace to beat defenders and create scoring opportunities. Whether he is finishing at the rim with a highlight dunk or finding open teammates on the perimeter, Anderson makes the right reads and keeps the offense flowing. On the defensive end, he does a great job when it comes to applying pressure, staying in front of his man, and using his physicality to disrupt opposing guards. Anderson currently holds 29 Division-1 offers from notable schools, including Auburn, Georgia, Alabama, Cal, Cincinnati, Florida, Georgia Tech, and Houston.
6-2 PG Johnas Maurice, Oak Ridge HS (FL)- 2028
Maurice is an explosive guard when he has the basketball in his hands on the offensive end. He plays with a ton of confidence when it comes to attacking the paint and scoring through multiple defenders. On the defensive end, he has quick hands and feet to stay in front of opposing guards. He is also very active when it comes to pursuing the passing lanes where he can generate steals and deflections, which often lead to scores on the opposite end. Overall, Maurice has defined himself as a true playmaker who can impact the game on both ends of the floor. Expect Maurice to continue having a steady recruitment as he remains one of the top point guards in the junior class.
5-11 PG Dwight “DJ” Gaines, Westminster Academy (FL)- 2027
Gaines can orchestrate the offense with the ability to have an impressive feel for the pick-and-roll, drive-and-kick passing, and not get rattled when being pressured by opposing guards. His decision-making on the offensive end is sharp for his age, and has great court awareness when he can create his own shot. On the defensive end, he has quick hands and active feet, which allow him to apply constant ball pressure. Overall, he is not an overwhelming athlete but uses his high IQ to make an impact on both ends of the floor. He brings a ton of confidence and maturity to a guard-heavy lineup this season.
