2015 PG's

[Oregon Ownage]

D'Angelo Russell C+ B C+ C+ D A
DLo from Ohio State became an elite prospect after a tremendous freshman year. Smart, and smooth guard who never seems to get rattled or rushed into making mistakes. An excellent decision maker and appears to have the ability to develop into a point guard for the next level. He doesn't have the greatest passing abilities but makes up for it with his ball handling skills. Great shooting abilities and a sick crossover. Amazing potential

Emmanuel Mudiay B- C B- C+ C- A
Mudiay spent a year playing overseas in China and showed a rare combination of size, speed, agility and athleticism to go with the vision and mentality of a point guard. Really difficult cover in transition, great at pushing the ball on the break with explosive ability to finish while also being an good passer on the run. Very quick first step. Good rebounder for a guard, good nose for the ball and covers a lot of ground. Good potential

Cameron Payne C+ C C+ C D- A
Intelligent point guard with a great basketball IQ and feel for the game. At 6-foot-3, has good height for the position. Nice mid range. Can operate very well out of pick-and-rolls in half court offense. In pick-and-roll situations, he’s shown the ability to take his man off of the dribble or pull up for a jump shot. Outstanding court vision and awareness on offense. Great playmaker. Terrific assist turnover ratio. Great potential

Tyus Jones C B+ C C+ D B
Jones possesses a rare skill set that could help a team right away. He pushes the ball up the floor with quick outlet passes. He reads the defense and finds open shooters. Not the ideal size you want at point guard. But he is very fast. Pretty good outside shooter. He shot a reasonably productive 41.7 percent from the field in his freshmen year at Duke. Good potential

Jerian Grant C+ B- C C- D- B
Grant is a very good ballhandler, with good size for the point guard position. He is able to use both hands well and get into passing lanes. He uses angles well around the basket, which also helps him get good shots off against long defenders. Defensively, he has the size but not the strength to pressure bigger guards. Solid potential

T.J. McConnell PG 6'2'' 200 23 C- B+ B- B- D+ C
Most pro ready PG to help direct an offense. Very solid handle and assured on the ball, passing needs improved but should come with game time. Very good free throw shooter and can hit the occasional 3 pointer. Not much growth but if you need a PG to slot in day one, McConnell is your man.

Terry Rozier PG 6'2'' 190 21 C B C B- C- B
Above average jump shooter with above average athleticism. Active hands and good at defending outside the arch. Solid game manager with average growth.

Delon Wright PG 6'5'' 190 23 C C- B C- D A
More in the mold of a traditional PG, Wright has great court vision and handles. Solid growth but will need time to develop his other skills to be counted on more than a handful of minutes per game.

Joe Young PG 6'2'' 180 22 C+ C+ C+ C D+ C
Very athletic for his position. Has his struggles on the defensive end but offensively he can provide scoring inside and out. Also has the ability to find the open man but more often than not, takes too long to pass and the ball gets stolen. Average potential

Ryan Boatright PG 5'11'' 175 22 C- C C+ B+ D+ B
The tiny in frame Boatright learned from the great PG's before him at UCONN how to lead by example. One of the fastest PG's in this class, he will struggle against bigger PG's but his speed catches them off guard with his active hands. He will steady your ship and do the dirty work for your team. Above average potential
