Shooting guard

1. Zaay Green

6’0″; Sophomore; Duncanville, Texas

Before Jordan Horston, there was Zaay Green, a highly touted five-star guard in the 2018 class. She started 24 games last year at the two-guard spot and got better over time. So it’s likely she’ll resume her role in that spot again this year with expectations of exploding onto the scene as a superstar scorer. And scoring is not all she can do.

Green finished second to Westbrook in assists and averaged over nine and a half points a game. Shooting under 22 percent from the three-point line raises concerns about her ability to be a scoring guard, but if she improves, it only further makes the case for her to start. Assuming that does improve, Green, Horston and Jazmine Massengill make for an elite rotation at the position.

2. Jessie Rennie

5’8″; Freshman; Bendigo, Australia

There is a reason Kellie Harper went for Jessie Rennie. She is a three-point shooting specialist, right in the mold of Meme Jackson. So while the other three guards are highly touted elite skill players in the rotation, Rennie will come in specifically to stretch the floor. And don’t count out the fact that she will likely see a ton of minutes immediately.

Remember, Green and Massengill were horrible at outside shooting last year. We don’t know what to expect from Horston or Rennie at this level, though, so there’s a chance Rennie is the only reliable backcourt outside shooter. If that’s the case, she may steal a starting spot down the road. But for now we have her as the No. 2 shooting guard.
