Here they are:
1. D’mari Johnson D’mari Johnson 6'6" | PF Phhoenix Prep | 2022 AZ (Buckeye)
-A physical low post beast keeps improving his game. He has leaned out dramatically and moves better up the court. He will clearly breakout next season.
2. Kambreal O’Bannon Kambreal O’Bannon 6'4" | SF Tucson | 2021 AZ (Tucson)
-A freak athlete! Related to the famous O’Bannon brothers and has college upside for sure! Needs to develop more skill but his acrobatics on offense and defense is always on display from dunking, blocking shots and rebounding the ball.
3. Kayden Davis (Brophy Prep)
-A pure PG who is a tough competitor. A good ball handler and passer. He is a true team player and always surveying the scene. He can make open shots and likes getting into the lane.
4. Kaden Kennedy Kaden Kennedy 6'4" | SF Desert Ridge | 2021 State AZ (Desert Ridge)
-A face-up forward who is skilled and tough. He can shoot the 3 plus rip through and score through contact. He is a good passer and rebounder and just an overall smart player.
5. Tre Bell Tre Bell 5'9" | PG Heritage Maricopa | 2021 State AZ (Peoria)
-An undersized but skilled scoring guard. He can shoot it from deep plus pull-up from mid-range. He is strong and tough.
6. Evan Punches Evan Punches 6'2" | SF Rancho Solano Prep | 2021 State AZ (Rancho Solano Prep)
-A highly skilled wing with a pretty looking shot. He has good form with range and will be asked to step up his production this season with the graduation of Ruck and Legner.
7. Kyle Johnson Kyle Johnson 6'5" | PF AZ (Shadow Mountain)
-A long and athletic forward who works best inside the paint. He is a good rebounder in and out of his area and can challenge shots to alter or block. He can improve his shooting consistency.
8. Patrick Steitz Patrick Steitz 6'7" | PF Liberty | 2021 State AZ (Liberty)
-A taller face-up forward who can play both spots. He has a nice shooting stroke from the 3pt line and rebounds at a good rate. He also happens to be a baseball stud and it will be interesting to see which route he chooses for college.
