What to watch for in the Best in Basketball Summer Invitational

<p>This weekend will be the 13th annual <strong>Best in Basketball Summer Invitational.</strong> It will take place June 13th-15th at the PHHacility located at 4600 E. Cotton Gin Loop, Phoenix, Arizona 85040. </p> <p>34 teams from around the state will play 4-6 games each. It is open to the public to watch on all 3 days. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Here are 25 things I am looking forward to seeing:</p> <p>1. Looking forward to watching <strong>Goldwater, Tempe, Willow Canyon, Phoenix Country Day, Regis Jesuit (CO), Yuma Catholic, Flagstaff, North Valley Christian Academy and Desert Edge.</strong> I haven't seen some of these teams ever or it's been at least 2 years. Always excited to see new teams and discover brand new prospects.  </p> <p>2. <strong>Youngker</strong> incoming freshman DeMarion Anderson. The young guard has already had a breakout summer with some big games. </p> <p>3. <strong>South Mountain</strong> group of young guards. LJ Ginnis, <span style="font-weight: 400;">DeOtis Nunn Jr. and Zay Freeney all have talent. </span></p> <p>4. <strong>Sunnyslope</strong> talented team. The Vikings have one of the top teams in the AIA led by the talented center of Carson Basham. </p> <p>5. <strong>AZ Compass Prep</strong> talented team. One of the more loaded prep teams in AZ comes in with multiple big time prospects and possibly 7-10 D1 players. </p> <p>6. <strong>Desert Vista</strong>'s Osasere Ighodaro. The rising senior is literally the biggest riser in the entire country.  </p> <p>7. <strong>Tri-City</strong>'s Fallou Diagne. Another rising senior is a high major target. </p> <p>8. <strong>Buckeye</strong>'s Tay Boothman. Some opposing coaches have tweeted or mentioned that he's been the best guard in the senior class since he's come back from his injury.  </p> <p>9. <strong>Peoria</strong>'s talented youth. Kevin Kogbara leads the young group but Awar Anyieth, Tre Bell and Corey Perry all can go. </p> <p>10. <strong>Rancho Solano Prep</strong>'s rising seniors of Hunter Ruck and Tyson Legner. Both are due for breakout seasons and will take the bulk of the teams shot attempts this upcoming HS season. </p> <p>11. <strong>Paradise Honors</strong>'s talented team. Jalen Scott's been injured this Spring and hopefully is he a full-go plus Jerry Iliya has been tearing it up early on. They also have talented sophs to look out for in Blessing <span data-length="7">Nwotite</span> and Logan Pohl. </p> <p>12. <strong>McClintock</strong>'s duo of rising senior Chance Garland and incoming freshman Mark Brown. </p> <p>13. <strong>Basha</strong>'s young core led by Trenton McLaughlin. </p> <p>14. <strong>Desert Ridge</strong>'s young core led by Joe Kelsey plus rising senior Brennan Armijo. </p> <p>15. <strong>Moon Valley</strong>'s senior duo of athletic wing James Burries and stud PG Trent Hudgens. </p> <p>16. <strong>San Tan Charter</strong>'s senior PG Kahan Shoulders. Quick and fast scorer. </p> <p>17. <strong>Hamilton</strong>'s senior SG Jamar Brown. Shooter with bounce. </p> <p>18. <strong>Williams Field'</strong>s rising junior trio of Montez Taylor, Ti Cohrane and Tanner Crawford. All 3 have talent and are the core of a rising 5A team. </p> <p>19. <strong>Arcadia</strong>'s rising junior Owen Shaw. Burly forward does not play club ball so this is where you have to see him. </p> <p>20.<strong> Cienega'</strong>s rising junior of JT Elder. Long and talented forward has a bright future.  </p> <p>21. <strong>Seton Catholic'</strong>s senior trio of Michael Hanson, Keyshon Upchurch and Sam Mobisson. The Sentinels will rely heavily on them this year. </p> <p>22. <strong>Corona del Sol</strong>'s senior duo of Anthony Irvin and Eric Blackwell. Rising seniors can both fill it up.  </p> <p>23. <strong>Catalina Foothills</strong> rising big man Will Menaugh and senior guard Hayden Moser. Both have talent for the always tough Tucson team.    </p> <p>24. <strong>ALA-QC</strong> rising seniors of Devon Brooke and Dyson Lighthall. A small school but both 6'7-ish players can both play after HS. </p> <p>25. <strong>Desert Mountain</strong>'s young group. With 11 seniors on last years team, they are essentially starting over. They have a talented soph core and it will be interesting who steps up this season.   </p>
