The Phenom Hoop State Fall League has been tremendous and we are heading into championship weekend. But there have been plenty of storylines and players that have grabbed my attention. Even though this list could go on a lot longer, here are the top players who have left their mark on me so far at the Fall League at the point guard position.
2026 Cameron Newman (Gaston Christian): Newman is one that tops this list with what he has shown at the Fall League so far heading into championship weekend.

They should only continue this trend well into the season.
2024 Quasim Oden (Grace Christian): Oden was one that left his mark on me when I watched him, and I believe he is one that is seeing his stock rise more and more. Strong frame, downhill guard who attacks, can handle and be physical, can score through defenders, and does a great job in helping run the show for his team. Add on top of his athleticism for his position, I
