Elisha Justice. Best guard in the 15th since?

Mr.Rainman · 03-03-2009, 02:05 AM

Just to be honest, I dont think anybody has been as good as Elisha.

Elisha will make his statement for his career next season, the AAU ball he plays this summer will go a lot to how far his talent goes next year.

This is very true. Also Jamie Hamilton and Barry Sanders were both great guards as well who were underated. Pike Central had MANY underrated players in the 15th region IMO.

absoultely. Scott was HUGE, and he could dunk in games with ease, drain the 3ball, rebound, post up, run the point..he was the total package. Had he kept it together off the court, he was D-1 talent easily.

I say Jeremy Hall or JJ Hylton!! I like those picks, IMO!!

How about Todd Tackett? Sorry if he has already been mentioned!!

I would also like to mention as pure point guards Rodney Rowe, who had an great high school and college career doing so. I think he was underated by college coaches. Also BJ Ratliff was an excellent point guard for the Elkhorn City Cougars.

Heff Conley played shooting guard for Elkhorn and was a Mr. Basketball candidate if I remember correctly.

I would still say Elisha is the best I have seen at the point since I began watching the 15th region. Maybe the quickest player I have seen also.

Keith Adkins - Paintsville, signed with Notre Dame out of school and finished at a school in North Carolina.

Harry Meek - Was asked to walk on at Louisville when they were really good.

Todd Tackett - Walked on at UK.

Todd Conley - Elkhorn City, I think you would consider him a guard.

Jeremy Hall - Allen Central, went on to play in the Big 10.

There are plenty more, but maybe not from the current era, which means people wouldn't have a clue who they are.

Jody Thompson was a excellant high school guard.

Did he play guard or small forward?

He played everything.

Justice is the real deal IMHO, BUT there have been more than a few who were as good/better than him, they just didnt have their head screwed on straight or their priorities in line like EJ.

Hall was an outstanding player...however he was not a true McDonald's All-American...maybe honorable mention for Kentucky or the South region...there are only a handful of Kentucky high school basketball players that have ever been named as a McDonald All-American...

Jeremy Hall- Lightning quick, great great 3 point shooter.
