As we section of players in the state geographically we take a dive into a handful of prospects who we should know. We star this series with Utah County which has a plethora of players that have talent. This list extends from Lehi to Payson across the I-15. Juan Pablo Camargo (Provo) This kid has length and an all-around game. His excellent play earned him an invite to the NBA’s Mexico without boarders youth program due to his ethnic background. He only averaged 7 points a game but he had a stellar performance against Farmington where he had 20 points and 15 rebounds as he has the type of skill to take over games. Juan has a college style 3-man game but he is versatile. [player_tooltip player_id="934486" first="Noah" last="Moeaki"] (American Fork) Noah has been playing at a high level for sometime now. Look for him to make another jump as he solidifies himself on the court as he has done on the football field. The part of his game that will increase the most is his rebounding. He rebounds well but look for him to really increase his production in that part of his game. [player_tooltip player_id="955343" first="Tyler" last="Nelson"] (Maple Mountain) Tyler has a solid game across the board. He scores the ball in many ways and can go off and score in the high twenties. Tyler scored in double-figures in over half of his games and we expect that to go up as he will be a focal point in the offense next season. Maple Mountain was one of the top teams in 5A last season. [player_tooltip player_id="755630" first="Noah" last="McCord"] (Westlake) Noah is starting to grow into his body. He is cut from that old school hard nose type of game that displays his endless energy and drive. Look for Noah to improve his outside range and increase his points per game production. His 5 rebounds a game could easily increase as well as he can rebound and push the tempo with his ball handling skills.
