Converse Elite TOA Top Stand Out Guards

Jaquan Lampton 5’10 Northside high 2019 16 points

Converse TOA- Lampton was one of the quickest guards at the tournament. Has a very quick first step and in a blink of an eye he is already at the basket. Good ball handling and can push tempo. Averages 16 ppg

Improvements- Lampton has the ability to get to the basket at anytime but is very limited with his left hand. Has to learn body control and develop upper body strength. Most of Lampton’s points came off the fast break or layups, he has to develop a consistent long range and mid range jump shot.
