For the first weekend of the 2022 live period I took in the The Stage Act 1: Here are a few of the standouts that I observed. [player_tooltip player_id="1366003" first="Jaden" last="Vance"] AZ Compass Prep (AZ Firestorm Select) The long guard played hard and displayed a nice pull up jumper. You can see his athleticism is starting to kick in as I witnessed a couple of chase down blocks. One to watch as he continues to grow into his body. [player_tooltip player_id="1334752" first="Caden" last="Bass"] Peoria (AZ Firestorm Elite) The long wing with the baby face wing showed a nice all around game. He has a nice handle while in the open court and showed a nice touch from three when given the opportunity. Bass was one of the leading scorers in his teams division. [player_tooltip player_id="1333653" first="Christopher" last="Brookins"] Peoria (AZ Firestorm Elite) The jet quick guard ran his team well and was able to get wherever he wanted most times. He pushed the ball well with his head up looking to hit a open teammate when possible. His strength and speed are obvious. Jordan Parrish 6’3 PF La Joya (Team Zona) The lefty forward displayed a feathery touch and was a beast on the boards. Jordan was a load to handle in the paint. He knows how to use his body and absorbs contact well. [player_tooltip player_id="1323290" first="Mason" last="Magee"] Undecided (California Select) Mason played up a grade with California Select and was just as comfortable with the ball in his hands. His change of pace and instincts are second to none. He showed a good touch from deep and when the 3 ball is falling, he’s more than a handful for any defender. Carter Perry 6’4 SF Veritas Prep (Team Zona) The long wing has a nice wingspan and it came in handy on the defensive end. He was one of the leaders in blocks for the 15U division. He’s also a good rebounder for his position. [player_tooltip player_id="1371095" first="Noah" last="Oliver"] Centennial (Phoenix Basketball Club) (Pictured) The scoring guard led his team in scoring and rebounding. His tough play led his team to a 2-1 record for the weekend. He can play on or off the ball. [player_tooltip player_id="1351129" first="JT" last="Amundsen"] Millennium (AZ Firestorm Elite) The guard has a quick trigger and it was on display for Firestorm. He hit multiple 3’s in every game that I saw. Despite being a guard he is also a good rebounder for his position and plays with a big IQ.
