<p>Here is a list of players that need to be given a look this summer as they can play and some are bit off the radar. Some of these players are coming off of injuries and some other players are just not as visible as others because of their geographic location or they go to a small school. </p>
<p><strong>6’1 G [player_tooltip player_id="1206877" first="Carter" last="Semrow"] || Syracuse High School || 2023 ||</strong></p>
<p>Lets start with his ability to play defense at a high level. He holds his own on an island. Moves his feet well to stay in-front and he also does really well sliding his feet. Carter gets up the floor with his vision up and he has a real patient game. Good little handle in the open floor. Defensive rebounding is good and he can get it and run. </p>
<p><strong>6’0 G [player_tooltip player_id="1120188" first="Chomp" last="(Jaxson) Jones"] || Desert Hills High School || 2023 ||</strong></p>
<p>This kid is a must watch as well. Quick and he can get up and down the floor. Pushing the tempo jones is solid. Jones shoots really well and he is a guard that can attack and create for himself and he can also create for others. He has been hampered with injuries but this kid is looking good again. </p>
<p><strong>6’2 G Steven LaPray || American Heritage High School || 2024 ||</strong></p>
<p>This kid can absolutely shoot the ball. Catch and shoot is where he might be at his best but he does build off of that skill. He can take a few dribbles and relocate and cast. He is also quick after a pump-fake. At the smaller classification he has positional size and he can really be an outside threat. Definitely a must guard player and he is a must watch.</p>
<p><strong>6’2 PG [player_tooltip player_id="1116143" first="Jaxon" last="Roberts"] || Corner Canyon High School || 2023 ||</strong></p>
<p>Jaxon can be electric at times which catches you off guard. Shows he can elevate in the layup line but he is just an overall crafty and creative player. He is getting bette dealing with pressure but he does have a lot more growth with his handle. The lefty guard does have a quick first step. He will be one of three players on that CCHS team that can go off and really get the team going. </p>
<p><strong>6’6 W Elijah Soward || Roy High School || 2023 ||</strong></p>
<p>Elijah is a bucket maker from various parts of the court. He isn’t just hitting in the spots most hit from. He can work that short-corner and that little mid range jumper inside the free-throw-line and a few feet away from the block. This makes his mid-post very effective as he can turn and shoot over smaller players but also fade and get it off against size. Elijah makes quick high-level decisions when the ball is in his hands. Steps out and hits the long ball as well and is nice at the 15-foot range. Good passer as well. He has patience and lets things develop. He is a hidden gem that could be an elite find for a small school.</p>
