The state of Indiana has a lot of depth at the point guard position especially for small colleges in the 2014 class. Here is a look at why we ranked the players in the Indiana high school basketball rankings for point guards.

JaQuan Lyle is no longer playing high school basketball at Evansville Bosse as he has transferred to Huntington Prep in West Virginia. He is easily the most talented point guard on the list though. Physical, strong, decent athlete with great vision.

P.J. Thompson is our second best point guard prospect. He's almost a forgotten prospect at this point. He had a decent showing in EYBL play after struggling to start the circuit. He nearly had a 4:1 assist to turnover ratio in the 19 Nike EYBL games. That is crazy for the competition level especially at his size. Thompson is a streaky outside shooter, but he has the work ethic to improve that. He's being extremely under-recruited right now.

Ernie Duncan comes in at number three. The Vermont commit is one of the best shooters in the class despite struggling from the outside in the adidas Invitational. He is a great pickup for Vermont. He has good size at 6'2” or 6'3”. He might play off the ball some at Vermont.

The fourth point guard on our list is recent Wright State pledge Justin Mitchell. He has a very high ceiling with his size and athleticism. He takes care of the ball decently but does need to cut down on ball-handling turnovers. He is an elite defender. Mitchell can guard 1 through 3 at the next level. He is a playmaker with the dribble with the ability to finish at the rim. Outside shooting is his drawback right now. If he becomes a good outside shooter, he has a chance to be special at Wright State. Mitchell could easily be the second best point guard prospect in the class.

Northern Kentucky commit Tayler Persons is our fifth point guard in the class. Persons is a big, strong, physical guard with the ability to shoot the ball from the outside. He is a great leader with his toughness. He was the backbone of a very talented Eric Gordon All-Star team.

Grant Sims is the sixth point guard on our list. The Bloomington North guard is athletic and tough. He has a handful of D1 offers with UNC-Asheville and Illinois-Chicago being his most recent. When his outside is going down, he is hard to stop.

The recent Lehigh commit Tyler Jenkins comes in at number 7. Jenkins is a talented and athletic guard. Decision making and handling pressure with the ball have been drawbacks in the past. Jenkins is also a very good outside shooter.

Eighth on the list is Speedway's Jordan Furlow. Furlow is extremely athletic. He has good size at 6-1 or 6-2. His overall skill set needs to improve along with his consistency.

Austin Shelton is our ninth best point guard in the senior class. He has good quickness. Shelton does a little bit of everything well. He's not a true pass-first, create for others point guard and he doesn't score with great consistency. Shelton does play with a lot of energy.

Rounding out the top ten point guards is Cathedral's Justin Baker. He has very good quickness. He can get after on the defensive end. Height/size is an issue although with not taking care of the ball. He is a streaky shooter from the outside.

Lake Central's Tye Wilburn is our eleventh point guard on our list. Wilburn showed a lot of promise in his sophomore season, but really struggled during his junior year. He did not break out of it this summer either. His shooting is a major drawback. Wilburn can't score at this point and he is not a good enough playmaker to compensate for his lack of scoring ability to be a solid D1 prospect right now.

Michael Bush out of South Bend Adams is twelveth. Consistency is the big thing for Bush. Some games he looks great, others he is nonexsistent. It is tough for Bush to be higher on the list right now because of his inconsistency and his lack of size.

Hamilton Southeastern's Eric Davidson is one of the best shooters in the state. He has a quick release along with a repetitive shooting motion. Although Davidson is an adequate ball-handler, he is more of a shooting guard in a point guard's body.

Fort Wayne North's Trevion Crews comes in at number fourteen. He could easily be ranked in the top 10 point guards. He's athletic with a great first step. He is also a good outside shooter. D2 and NAIA should track Crews.

Cory Smith of North Harrison is a similar prospect to Eric Davidson. Both are shooters first and point guards second. Smith has extremely deep range.

Indianapolis Marshall's Davone Daniels has a scorer's mentality, but also can take care of the ball. He has a slight build at this point. If he was more consistent, he would be higher on the list. He shows flashes of being very good.

Whit Rapp of Guerin Catholic had a very good summer. As a pure point guard, it is tough to beat Rapp. He just doesn't make many mistakes. He gets the ball to the guys that need the ball exactly when they need it. He would easily be higher if he showcased the ability to score and shoot more from the outside. Rapp has made a case that he is a solid D2 prospect now.

Lawrence Central's Devin Heath-Granger is a solid small college prospect. He is a pass-first point guard that also has the ability to open shots from the outside.

Bo Burkhart of Evansville Bosse could very easily be higher on the list. He is a very good shooter. He is also a solid athlete. Burkhart has struggled to handle pressure in the past. He will have more ball-handling duties with JaQuan Lyle off the Bosse team. It could help Burkhart's development.

Castle's Devyn Johnston is a lightning quick point guard. He looked like a solid small college prospect last high school season.

Another good small college prospect on the list is Evansville Memorial's Brandon Auker. Wabash is already in the picture heavily with Auker.

Chesterton's Corey Rusboldt has quickness and potential. He is a solid NAIA prospect at this point. {/iACL}
