May Stock Risers-Wings/Bigs

<p>Now that May has wrapped up the Spring session of AAU in the State, here are some prospects that had a great spring.</p> <p><strong>James Gardner</strong> (2022, 6’5) Hunter HS/Utah Premier National</p> <p>Very athletic wing that can play end line to end line.  Gardner is an above the rim player that changes the complexation of the game on both ends of the floor.  Look for James to have a great July.</p> <p><strong>Kellan Torkonoo</strong> (2021, 6’7) Westlake HS/UBC Elite</p> <p>Kellan showed great hands on finishing with his right and left, but will need to improve shooting over his weak shoulder in the paint to continue his growth into the next level.  </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="967721" first="Darius" last="Henderson"] (2022, 6’4) Hunter HS/Utah Premier National</p> <p>Darius is a strong guard who can rise up over defenders and finishes above the rim.  His length helps create easy offense from his defense on every possession.  Soft touch on his jumper out to 15 feet, and slashes extremely well past defenders.  </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="933804" first="Paora" last="Winitana"] (2021, 6’6) American Heritage HS</p> <p>Paora has a strong inside presence with great feet and soft hands for a big man.  He has the ability to stretch the floor beyond the arc with consistency.  Paora commands the paint and moves effectively without the ball and rebounds out of his area.  </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1142816" first="David" last="Calvert"] (2023, 6’6) Fremont HS/Utah Premier National</p> <p>David was a fun player to watch this spring.  His length allowed him offensively to finish above the rim in traffic, and then stretch the defense out to college range as a consistent three point scorer.  Defensively, he altered shots in the paint and took players out of scoring position with tipped passes off the ball.  He can guard multiple positions on the floor without disrupting the defensive flow.  </p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
