Diego Sharp Diego Sharp 6'1" | SG ABC Prep | 2022 State NM 6’1″ G – Diego played tough this weekend for Team Swoosh. He had some very good games where he showed off his athleticism and extremely quick hands on defense. He was able to get some big steals against an extremely tough Purple Reign team. He is a strong 3 point shooter and he will make you pay from deep if you leave him open. He also is a very good finisher at the rim. He has no fear to drive the ball against taller traffic and usually gets an and 1. Diego is shaping out to be a solid D1 prospect.
Adadrian Jackson 6’1″ G – This kid played very well for the ABC group. Every game he came out and hustled and never quit. He was by far the best all around player for ABC all weekend. He played both sides of the court with intensity and was able to get some strong defensive stops. He also was a major contributor on offense.
Tai Taiaroa 6’6″ F – Tai was a major hustler and a big time board getter. He can grab boards that other players can’t reach because of his length. He has good footwork in the paint and also at mid range. He is a solid defender and rim protector who plays his butt off.
Jakwon Hill Jakwon Hill 6'1" | CG Volcano Vista | 2022 State NM 6’0″ G – (Featured) Jakwon is a total package. He is a great all around player who can create a ton of scoring opportunities. He is very shifty and manages to get through the middle pretty easily. He is a nice finisher who is very deceptive. Just when you think you have him locked up he manages to break free and score on you. He also can shoot the ball efficiently.
Kaden Self Kaden Self 6'6" | PF Las Cruces | 2022 State NM 6’8″ C – Kaden is fun to watch because he is very long and super aggressive. He runs both ends of the floor well and can play solid defense. He made a ton of major hustle plays for his team all weekend. He is a good rim protector and an even better rebounder. Kaden also has a very smooth up and under game.
Malachi Crawford Malachi Crawford 6'5" | C Atrisco Heritage | 2021 NM 6’5″ F – Malachi added good low post presence for his team. He can move well underneath and has good athleticism around the rim. He can pull down some big boards and can also be an offensive threat if you are not able to match up with him. Malachi had solid games all weekend.
