Kallai Patton Kallai Patton 6'5" | SF Rancho Christian | 2024 State CA-S , 2024, Compass Prep (AZ) – When looking at prospects from this event in the long-term upside sense, Patton has to be near the top of the list. The wiry 6-foot-4 freshman has a smooth offensive game in which he can break down defenders in isolation and get to the rim or pull-up for a fluid jumper.
Kevin Patton, Jr., 2023, Compass Prep (AZ) – The 6-foot-7 sophomore has an advanced feel on the offensive end of the floor. His ability to knock down the perimeter jumper opens up driving lanes which he takes advantage of with his ball skills and ability to get downhill and to the rim with limited dribbles. Patton also has great court vision and awareness which allow him to create for teammates in transition and the half-court setting.
Styles Phipps Styles Phipps 6'1" | PG St Mary's | 2024 State #182 Nation AZ , 2024, St. Mary’s (AZ) – Phipps is a highly-regarded point guard in Arizona and it’s easy to see why. The 6-footer has a tight handle, good speed in the open court, keeps his head on a swivel to find open teammates and doesn’t get sped up when pressured. Phipps can knock down the open three-point shot and does a nice job of not forcing the issue offensively.
Aidan Shaw Aidan Shaw 6'7" | SF Blue Valley | 2022 State #40 Nation KS , 2022, Blue Valley (KS) – The high-motor 6-foot-8 forward did most of his damage in the painted area as his combination of quick-twitch leaping ability and strength allowed him to dominate inside with high percentage finishes and offensive rebound put-backs. Shaw also has great instincts as a shot blocker both on his own assignment and when helping from the weakside on dribble-drives.
Jevin Sullivan Jevin Sullivan 6'5" | SG North Polk | 2022 State IA , 2022, North Polk (IA) – Sullivan was one of the more gritty and physical guys on both ends of the floor during this event. The 6-foot-5 junior is a versatile defender, great positional rebounder and thrives when absorbing and finishing through contact. Sullivan uses his strong frame and good downhill speed to take bumps in transition, stay on balance, and finish at the rim.
