He is a true leader and t</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">alks all the time on defense. He scores it from all 3 levels and knows when to turn on his jets or use his pull-up off the dribble, which is almost unguardable. He changes speeds well and then can stroke it with NBA range. He also is one of the best passers in the state and is constantly making the defense pay by scoring or facilitating. </span></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="930932" first="Arthur" last="Kaluma"] <strong>Dream City Christian </strong></p> <p>-A powerful forward can score it inside but versus bigger players he will take you outside and use his handle to wiggle by you or rise up and shoot it. He has an improving stroke from mid to the 3pt line. He loves using ball fakes and plays wherever he can succeed inside or out. He rebounds the ball and pushes it up the floor. A versatile stud for Dream City. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="775540" first="Alden" last="Applewhite"] <strong>AZ Compass Prep</strong></p> <p>-Another versatile player plays 2-4 for them in a pinch. He is primarily their 2-3 and hits shots all over the court. He has the deep-3, he can drive it, post you up and get to the line in bunches. He always seems to make one or two slick passes a game showing his real ball skills for a wing.  </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="530994" first="Javon" last="Ruffin"] <strong>Phhoenix Prep</strong></p> <p>-A powerful guard had one of his better all-around games. He hit four 3's plus did his usual downhill scoring with a hesi, using the left or right and taking a bump and scoring through it. He handles the ball like a PG and makes plays. The <strong>Colorado</strong> commit is a physical defender and tough to defend.   </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="703805" first="Kiran" last="Oliver"] Phhoenix Prep</strong></p> <p>-An athletic marvel showed off his shooting prowess. He started the game with two DEEP 3's from almost half court. He still has his show stopping highlight reel dunks always on display plus he will defend every position on the floor. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="931377" first="Jamel" last="King"] <strong>Bella Vista Prep</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-A bigger wing who can shoot it with range. When he is going good, not many are better then him. He has a pure stroke and he is a plus athlete who rebounds well in his area. </span></p>
