Southern Utah Showcase Preview: Standouts

<p>The Southern Utah showcase is taking place on February 6th and 7th in Cedar City, Utah. The event features 5 local teams playing 4 games. In this article, we take a look at some of the standouts expected to participate in the event. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="927138" first="Lucas" last="Walker"] <em>5’11 PG MV Ball Brothers 2021 (#46PHN 2021)</em> - In a normal season, Walker would probably be gaining some small school attention. A scoring PG he put up 20 and 6 last season and was on the verge of improving on those numbers this year. This event will be a good gauge of what he’s been working on. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="985595" first="Cameron" last="Reese"] <em>6’5 SF MV Ball Brothers 2021 (#86PHN 2021)</em> - Word on the street is that Reese has gotten bouncier. Curious to find out how much the low post presence has improved his ball skill, allowing him to play on the wing. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="927156" first="Cody" last="Zile"] <em>6’3 SF RedCats 2021 (#78PHN 2021)</em> (featured image) - Zile vs Reese seems like a fun matchup. Much like Reese, the question for Zile is has he improved his ball skills enough to play on the perimeter at the next level. He shoots it well enough making 3’s at a 37% clip last season. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="927166" first="Kobe" last="Kelley"] 5’10 PG RedCats (#85PHN 2021) - Kelley is one of the top cerebral PG’s in the state. His do it all ability will be key to the Redcats having a successful weekend. He averaged 17 - 4 - 4 last season, showing the ability to contribute everywhere on the court. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="985584" first="Noa" last="Del Pozo"] <em>6’2 PG Toros 2021 (#75PHN 2021)</em> - NDP put up some terrific numbers last season, and was poised to make a name as one of the most underrated guards in the state. He’s more of a combo than a PG, but the senior sniper is more than capable of orchestrating the offense. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="985592" first="Will" last="Barnum"]<em> 6’0 PG Valley Dawgs 2021 (#87PHN 2021)</em> - Barnum was one of the bright spots on a high school team that finished with 6 wins last season. This showcase is shaping up as a great test for him to go against some of the other top guards in 3A. The PG is one of the top two way players in the state, evident by his nearly 4 steals per game last year.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://twitter.com/7outzbballclub1">Follow Prep Hoops</a></p>
