Today, we take a look at the returning point guards in the state of New Mexico. The field is loaded with top guards and could be one of the top talented groups.
Top Point Guards
Juan Hurt - Rio Rancho - 2017 - Only a junior last season and more of a scoring point guard, Hurt does not shy from a role of distributing the ball when the team needs it. Also, you can find him with the ball when they need to pull it out and run the O.
Zanen Zeller - Los Lunas - 2019 - The offensive could look for him more to run the offense next season with the amount of depth he brings to the table. At, 6'1 (and only growing) Zeller could be a true point guard to watch and by his senior year the best out.
Ismael Holguin - Mayfield - 2017 - Another junior, one we didn't get to see this post season, but one that will be to keep an eye on. This program is on the rise and Holguin is one to watch. Will likely be seen as a 10 point/5 assist per game PG.
Tristan McCarty - La Cueva - 2017 - It's hard not to like McCarty, a no nonsense point guard with solid passing abilities but will get into the paint and hit jumpers. La Cueva will only get better and McCarty will only see his numbers and minutes improve.
Anthony Chavez - Valley - 2018 - We have seen and heard the name of Chavez. The Vikings will likely be an early favorite and if you are looking for a 15 point/10 assist possibility, he is your man.
Markus Collins - Las Cruces - 2018 - The Bulldawgs will be a team to watch next season and Collins is a fun one to watch. He can run the O but also drop 20 in a game.
Jayden Phillips - Cleveland - 2018 - The Storm will be looking for it's new go-to player. Phillips is the man to watch for the Storm as the veteran leader.
