Magic Memorial Day 2022: AZ Standouts (Pt. 3)

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Over the Memorial Day Holiday Weekend I was able to attend the <strong>Magic Memorial Day</strong> event Presented by the <em>Compton Magic</em>. These were some of the Arizona high school players I was able to watch play who stood out.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="994680" first="Jai" last="Anthoni Bearden"] <strong>Kellis (Compton Magic 16U)</strong></p> <p>The athletic wing continued to show his offensive growth. He hit jumpers and was a terror on the break. He showed his potential as a high volume rebounder as well.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="814038" first="Noah" last="Amenhauser"] <strong>Estrella Foothills (Factory) (Featured Image)</strong></p> <p>Noah showed why he is one of the best big men on the West Coast in the 2023 class. In the games I saw he showed the complete package. He rebounded and blocked shots at a high volume. He also showed his touch on the perimeter. He had a few highlight reel dunks and they weren’t on opponents shorter than him but ones equal to his size.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="831117" first="Arman" last="Madi"]<strong> Brophy Prep (Firestorm Elite 17U) </strong></p> <p>The wing was active the whole weekend hitting deep 3’s, slashing to the cup and rebounding. A lot of the time when he rebounded he had the freedom to push the ball and initiate the offense.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1306002" first="Nick" last="Sanford"] <strong>Brophy Prep (AZ Prime 16U)</strong></p> <p>I like this young man more every time I see him. He shot the 3 ball with confidence and wasn’t afraid to put his body on the line for his team.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="814507" first="Davion" last="Butler"] <strong>McClintock (Firestorm Elite 17U) </strong></p> <p>The McClintock point guard was on his game this weekend. Whether it was setting up his shooters or getting his own shot, he was successful quite often. When defenders tried to cut of his 3 ball he went by defenders with ease to the rim.</p> <p><strong>Moise Kambululu PF 6’9 2025 Skyline Prep (Belmont Shore) </strong></p> <p>The big man showed promise as a rebounding and defensive force in the paint. He rebounded aggressively and contested shots in the paint. He’s a long term project but definitely has potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
