<p>We are about to approach the beginning of the 2019-2020 HS season.</p>
<p>I like to take a look at my annual “Top-5’s”. </p>
<p>It’s just a fun way to take a look at players' elite skills in different categories. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We move over to who are the most versatile players. Which seniors will impact the game with their versatility this seasons in the AIA?</p>
<p>Here are my Top-5:</p>
<p>1. <strong>Logan Phillips (Valley Christian)</strong>-A super rare 6'7+ player that literally plays all 5 positions. Handles like a guard, shoots it and will flush it down. The POY in 3A last year is a match-up nightmare. (Pictured) </p>

<p>2. <strong>Devon Brooke (ALA-QC)</strong>--Another 6'7 forward who is a point forward type. Shoots 3's and can post up plus throw it down on the break. </p>
<p>3. <strong>Zeke Thompkins (Apollo</strong>)--An almost 6'6 point forward who plays the 1-3 but can also defend the 4-man with great length. </p>
<p>4. <strong>Shemar Morrow (Shadow Mountain)</strong>--Around 6'4 also defends basically every position on the court. </p>
<p>5. <strong>Arnold Dates (Brophy</strong>)--One of the strongest and tougher 6'3 players you will find. Posts up like he's 6'7 and can handle like a guard. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>My next-5:</p>
<p>1. <strong>James Burries (Moon Valley)</strong>--Near 6'4 and can play the 2-4 for the Rockets. </p>
<p>2. <strong>Michael Hanson (Seton Catholic)</strong>--Another around 6'4 and posts up players plus can shoot it from deep. </p>
<p>3. <strong>Caleb Alonso (Desert Ridge)</strong>--Top-tier shooter plays the 2-5 at times for the Jaguars. </p>
<p>4. <strong>Caleb Wright (Millennium</strong>)--Can post up and shoot 3's. Strong forward does many things well. </p>
<p>5. <strong>Tyree Tyler (Skyline</strong>)--About 6'4 and plays the 3-5 for the Coyotes. The high motor forward does all the little stuff for them. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>5 way under the radar:</p>
<p>1. <strong>Byron Brown (Sahuarita)</strong>--Talked about him with the star athletes. At 6'4 he plays PG for them and defends every position including post players. </p>
<p>2. <strong>Devan Smith (Maya</strong>)--Only 6'3 but powerful and plays a lot in the post and can handle it like a guard. (CAA player) </p>
<p>3. <strong>Cesar Saenz (Sabino</strong>)--A physical 6'3 wing can do it all for the Sabercats. One of the better Tucson players that many don't know too much about. </p>
<p>4. <strong>Miichel Milambu (Tempe</strong>)--A defensive dynamo who plays the 1-3 for the Buffaloes. </p>
<p>5. <strong>Grant Weitman (Salpointe Catholic)</strong>--A 6'3 guard who plays in the post a lot with his strength plus is an outstanding passer. </p>
