West Virginia lands #1 Canadian PG — Miles Sadler


When you talk about the 2026 class in Canada, there’s one name that consistently rises above the rest — Miles Sadler. The Bella Vista Prep standout has been on a steady climb for the last few years, and today he sits firmly as the best point guard — and best overall player — in Canada’s 2026 class. With his recent commitment to West Virginia, Sadler has stamped himself as the next must-watch Canadian prospect heading to the NCAA.



A True Lead Guard Who Controls the Game



Sadler is the type of point guard who makes the game look organized even when everything around him gets chaotic. He’s a natural decision-maker — calm in pick-and-roll, dynamic off the bounce, and always a step ahead as a passer. He shoots it with confidence, gets to his spots efficiently, and competes on the defensive end with the same edge he brings offensively.


The numbers back up what you see on film: this past EYBL session he averaged 13.3 PPG, 5.6 APG, and 1.8 SPG, showing how complete his two-way game already is. For a guard who’s still early in his development curve, the polish is hard to miss.



Canadian Roots, U.S. Development



Originally from Canada, Sadler made the jump to the U.S. to sharpen his game at Bella Vista Prep (AZ), and it’s clear that the move paid off. He blended the toughness and fundamental base you see from Canadian guards with the pace, physicality, and spacing of American prep basketball. That combination is exactly why his stock skyrocketed.



Why West Virginia Was the Move



For Sadler, West Virginia offered everything he was looking for:


  • A real opportunity to play right away

  • A coaching staff that believed in him early

  • A system that values tough, smart, competitive guards



The Mountaineers are in a rebuilding phase, and Sadler arrives as a foundational piece — the type of guard who can bring stability, scoring, leadership, and a defensive presence from day one.



What Makes Sadler Special



There are good point guards, and then there are players who change the tempo and shift the outcome just by being on the floor. That’s Sadler.


  • Three-level scoring

  • High-IQ facilitator

  • Competes defensively

  • Elite pace and poise

  • Leadership qualities you can build a team around



His ceiling is high, but what makes him so valuable is how high his floor already is. He’s reliable, battle-tested, and rarely gets sped up — traits you can’t teach.



Another Win for Canadian Basketball



Each year, we see another wave of Canadian guards carve out their path south of the border. Sadler is the next in line — and a legitimate blueprint for the younger generation coming up behind him.


His West Virginia commitment isn’t just another headline. It’s a statement:

Canada’s top guard in 2026 is ready for the spotlight — and the spotlight is ready for him.
