Top-5’s in 2021: Passers

<p>With the possibility of losing the entire AAU season this year, I will try and mention all 115 juniors ranked. </p> <p>I like to take a look at my annual “Top-5’s”.</p> <p>Every player has their 1 skill they usually excel at.   </p> <p>It’s just a fun way to take a look at players’ elite skills in different categories. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>We move over to the 8 passers. These are the players who can make their teammates better around them. </p> <p>Here are my Top-5:</p> <p>1. [player_tooltip player_id="885820" first="Jalen" last="Scott"] (Paradise Honors)</p> <p>-The top passer in the AIA can seemingly find all 4 players on the court at any time. He is a special next level passer with incredible size for position. His full court passes are Lonzo-like. </p> <p>2. [player_tooltip player_id="809691" first="Marcus" last="Wady"] (Desert Vista)  </p> <p>-A wizard with the ball shined in the 6A Chip showing off his passing skills with close to 10 assists. </p> <p>3. [player_tooltip player_id="703810" first="Bailon" last="Black"] (Ironwood)</p> <p>-Already known as one of the top shooters but his play-making can lead 5A in assists next year. He can find anyone on  the court with his right and preferred off hand left in their shooting pocket.  </p> <p>4. [player_tooltip player_id="703797" first="Carson" last="Basham"] (Sunnyslope) </p> <p>-You probably didn't expect a 6'10 center to be on the list, but he is that special of a passer. He can surprisingly handle the ball well and makes plays consistently for others.  </p> <p>5. [player_tooltip player_id="809699" first="Carson" last="Kelly"] (Chandler) </p> <p>-A natural scoring PG from all levels, but is a very good passer. He can find anyone in traffic and makes plays with his tight handle and vision. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>3 more:</p> <p>1. [player_tooltip player_id="809729" first="Demetrus" last="Johnson"] (San Tan Charter)</p> <p>-A flashy pure PG with good quicks and sees the court well. </p> <p>2. [player_tooltip player_id="809733" first="Eric" last="Lira"] (Central) </p> <p>-A pure PG who likes getting downhill and making plays for others. He'll go through quarters without even shooting. </p> <p>3. [player_tooltip player_id="809726" first="Austin" last="Hutchings"] (Perry)</p> <p>-Pass first PG who advance passes smartly. He can hit an open 3 plus make plays. He should get more PT next year. </p>
