JUNIOR POINT GUARDS AREN’T LACKING
If you’re a fan of a high-major program and they are in need of a lead guard late in the 2016 recruiting cycle, well then, good luck! There is a giant dearth of available high-level floor generals within the senior class but for those who are in need for a point guard 2017, then the DC area was the place to be this weekend.
On Friday evening and at the Gonzaga DC Classic, Chris Lykes cemented himself as a high-major prospect. While he is just 5-foot-7, the dynamic lead guard doesn’t relent against any sort of physicality, can score it, pass it, and defend, and is an alpha type at the point guard position. The host bunch’s star guard wasn’t the only one showcasing his talents at Gonzaga College High as Good Counsel’s Cam Norman and St. Raymond’s floor general Isaiah Washington both displayed plenty of upside at the lead spot at the next level.

I was surprised by...
Maybe surprised isn't the right word, but 2017 point guard Chris Lykes of host Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga is going to make people like myself and college coaches think outside of the box when it comes to evaluating him. Though he probably stands no taller than 5-foot-6, the sheer force of will with which he plays the game and the toughness he has to impose that will has to be respected and accounted for. It's one thing to have will, but the three-star junior has developed skill to go along with his toughness. He is very creative with the dribble, passes extremely well and he knocks down open shots. He is an A-type personality on the floor and his teammates gravitate to him. Miami, Richmond, VCU, George Washington, George Mason, Tulane, La Salle and Dayton are among those who have seen enough to offer while others like Vanderbilt, Notre Dame and Virginia are looking hard as well. Currently unranked, Lykes deserves serious consideration for the Rivals150.

CHRIS LYKES, PG, GONZAGA COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL, 2O17: I dare you to find a more entertaining ballplayer at the lead guard spot within the 2017 class. Go ahead, try it! Chris Lykes always brings the fire and grit to the hardwood and absolutely flourishes in speeding the game up. He has impeccable elevation on his 15-feet and out jumpers, of which he can rise up at any time and convert over the taller defender. His size may hurt him as he stands at 5-foot-7 on a good day, yet he more than makes up for it by way of his on-ball defense, passing skills within the early offense, and unbelievable speed and quickness with the basketball in his hands.
