The 2013 Class of guards was athletic, and is represented nicely by kids who can shoot the ball and that have long term potential. Top peformer in each category was:
20 Yard Dash Lir Galanti 2.79 seconds
Vertical Leap Vince Villa Gomez 26.9"
Standing Broad Jump Shane Lacaille 103"
Hot Shot Shooting Drill Stefan Vidovic 8/10
2013 G 5'9" Shane Lacaille is going to be a superior leaper as his 25.4 vert and his SUPERIOR standing broad jump of 103" He shot the ball well too, hitting 6/10 in the Hot Shot drill.
2013 G 6'0" Vince Villa Gomez has work to do on his fundamentals but who can argue with his potential as he topped the charts with a 26.9 vertical and above average scores in the other timed events. Along with being very coachable he could be a very nice prospect.
2013 G 5'11" Stefan Vidovic showed great court vision. He needs to keep working on his lateral quickness and defense but I love his basketball skill set and ability to shoot the ball as his Hot Shot Shooting drill 8/10 shows. Stefan will end up being a big guard as his Pops, Sonny is about 6'4". Given that dad was a pro over in Europe expect the younger Vidovic to continue to improve and like most European players be able to post up a defender as well as play on the perimeter.
2013 G 5'11" Lir Galanti is another kid that I just loved because of his attitude and desire to learn. He is cat quick and showed great hustle. He needs to continue to work on the skill portion of the game. he scored 7/10 on the Hot Shot Shooting Drill, so you'd better not leave him open.
2013 G 5'5" John Gramlich may be the best of the bunch at the moment in terms of his overall game. His overall court savvy, lateral quickness, vertical and ability to shoot the ball make him a very nice prospect. We'll watch him closely. Definitely adding a few inches and pounds will help.
2013 G 5'5" Christopher Murch is the best pure shooter in this 2013 class of guards. He's still a little bit one dimensional at the moment, but once he understands distribution of the ball to team amtes a little better he'll be an even bigger threat. Do not leave this guy open. He will shoot and hit it from anywhere on the floor.
