5 lower ranked teams who could surprise in the playoffs

5 lower ranked teams who could surprise in the playoffs

<p>With only two weeks left in the regular season, we will start the 2019-2020 playoffs. I thought it would be fun to look at which teams can possibly pull off an upset or two.</p> <p>6A</p> <p><strong>Pinnacle ranked #16</strong>--They had 6 players miss at least 9 games including star big man <strong>Tosh Baker</strong> and another 4 players missed at least 4. They are now all healthy and looking to upset a team or two. </p> <p><strong>Chaparral ranked #19</strong>--A super young team with only one senior having experience in <strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jorden-josephs/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jorden-josephs/">Jorden Josephs</a></a></strong> are quickly growing up. Their youth is getting better and will be a tough out. </p> <p>5A</p> <p><strong>Camelback ranked #18</strong>--They have a rare big man in <strong>Zion Johnson</strong> and many of their losses are one or two possession games. If their guards make 1-2 more deep balls to keep the defense honest and not pack it in, the Spartans can upset a team.  </p> <p><strong>Williams Field ranked #21</strong>--They had a few out and just got back stud guard <strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/zayn-kimbrough/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/zayn-kimbrough/">Zayn Kimbrough</a></a></strong> (who has been avg 20 ppg). Both big men have been out and had to adjust to it. They can also upset a team or two in the playoffs. </p> <p>4A</p> <p><strong>Shadow Mountain ranked #11-</strong>-Funny how they are on this list, but only being ranked 11 is still kind of a lower seed. They got back <strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/shemar-morrow/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/shemar-morrow/">Shemar Morrow</a></a> </strong>recently and are headed in the right direction. Don't be surprised they upset a top-8 seed. </p>
