He’s one of the top scorers on the west coast, with the ability to finish and shoot the ball at a high level. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="989243" first="Angelo" last="Kambala"] <em>5’10 Liberty (#5)</em> - Kambala is one of the best two-way players, stifling ballhandlers with his lockdown on-ball defense. Offensively he has shown that he can be a microwave scorer. Kambala gets buckets in transition as well as when parked behind the line. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="985637" first="Tylen" last="Riley"] <em>6’2 Durango (#8)</em> - Riley is a blur on the court, and one of the top defenders in the state. The combo is all arms and legs, and he uses both to pressure opposing ballhandlers. Riley is known for getting deflections and jumping passing lanes for steals. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="856644" first="Earnest" last="Brown"] <em>5’11 Las Vegas (#10)</em> - Brown gravitates more to the PG side, but he has shown that he can score the basketball as well. The quick PG is one of the top paint touch getters and has a habit of breaking down defenders on his way to the cup. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="985628" first="Giali" last="Chapman"] <em>6’0 Mojave (#18)</em> <em>(featured image)</em> - Chapman has good one on one ability and has shown the ability to get to the bucket with advanced moves. He’s also shown that he can finish around the rim. Chapman will be counted on heavily on the defensive end for Mojave, as his ability to pressure, and create deflections will go a long way to determining if the Rattler’s defense will have success. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="985625" first="Ryan" last="Hannig"] <em>5’10 Palo Verde (#25)</em> - Hannig is one of the fastest guards in the state. He finds success in both up-tempo and half-court sets. His outside shot, makes him a valuable floor spacing guard, while his breakdown ability brings value to the backcourt. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1105245" first="Kollin" last="Ngo"] <em>6’1 Silverado (#31)</em> - Ngo is a stockriser, that has shown that he can shoot the ball. He’s also shown that he’s more than a corner specialist, as the combo has improved his floor game, slashing to the bucket and finishing. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1148250" first="Dylan" last="Cooks"] <em>5’10 Arbor View (#43)</em> - It’s difficult to mention Cooks without mentioning his speed. He’s one of the fastest players end to end and does a terrific job of putting pressure on defenders in transition. It’s not just his feet that are quick, Cooks displays some of the fastest hands-on Arbor View, getting a ton of tips and deflections when defending the ball. </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://twitter.com/7outzbballclub1">Follow Prep Hoops</a></p>
