Hampton, VA (Future150) -- Future150 takes a looks at the Top 5 point guards in the class of 2014 according to the Future150 rankings. The competition is heating up as the Spring sessions are coming to a close and the summer is upon us. Lets take a look at who is at the top of the list and who can make a run at the top spot in the summer sessions.
Tyus Jones, # 1 PG, # 8 overall, Howard Pulley: Jones is the top point guard prospect in the nation regardless of class. He is a pass first point guard in the mold of Chris Paul and seemingly always finds his open teammates exactly where they want the ball. His basketball IQ is extremely high and although it's early he has the look of a future pro.
Emmanuel Mudiay, #2 PG, # 9 overall, Texas Select: Mudiay might still be considered a combo guard, but is working to make the switch to full time point. At 6-foot-4 he has great size as a point and can score with ease. His vision is still developing and he has the tools to be a matchup nightmare.
Joel Berry, # 3 PG, # 18 overall, Each 1 Teach 1: Berry is one of the more improved players in the class and people are starting to take notice. He is arguably the best defender at his position and has fantastic court vision. He is also able to get into the lane with ease and can shoot out to 19 feet.
JaQuan Lyle, # 4 PG, #23 overall, Indy Spiece: Lyle is another combo guard who is making the transition to full-time point guard. At 6-foot-4 he is big for the position and uses his size to find the passing lanes. He can get to the rim as well and is hard to stay in front of with his blend of size and speed.
Parker Jackson-Cartwright, # 5 PG, #25 overall, Cali Supreme: He is a bit undersized at just 5-foot-9, but he is as skilled as anyone when it comes to ball handling. He is nearly unguardable in the open floor and is a willing and able passer. He can get into the lane with his speed and can create for himself and others.
