The Hustle Region Circuit consists of AAU Programs from California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Utah, Montana, Idaho, Colorado, and New Mexico. The circuit features 10 stops including the Hustle Region Final in Irvine July 15th – 17th. For stop number 8 the circuit returns to Phoenix with the Brawl For The Ball. The event featured several players that played with maximum energy and effort. In this article, we take a look at the top high-motor guys from the event.
Malachi Henningham Malachi Henningham 6'5" | PF Fairfax | 2026 AZ 6’5 PF AZ Gremlins 2026 (featured image) – At this point, you know what you’re getting with Henningham. High-level athlete with a relentless motor. The 6’5 forward showed off his bounce and attacked both the offensive and defensive glass effectively.
Issac Norris 6’0 SF Prospect Kids 2025 – Norris’s motor really showed under the boards. The blue collar forward brought his hard hat and was not afraid to mix it up. Norris did a ton of dirty work for his Prospect team, as he scrapped and competed for rebounds.
Brady Duggan 5’7 PG EP Matrix 2025 – When you think of players that play with an “edge” you have to mention Duggan. The tough as nails two way PG competed hard on both ends of the floor. Duggan was all over the court on the defensive end, getting deflections and diving for loose balls. Offensively he was always either pushing the tempo or drawing fouls. He played the game with a motor that never stopped.
Prashant Chouhan Prashant Chouhan 6'6" | PF Menaul | 2023 State NM 6’5 PF D1 New Mexico 2023 – Chopra is the type of player that every successful team has. The power forward crashed the glass, and defended the interior well. Chopra didn’t need to score the basketball much to impact the game as his willingness to sprint the floor and compete for 50/50 balls helped D1 New Mexico to a pair of wins.
Caleb Jollifh 5’11 PF Colorado Hoops Academy 2025 – Jollifh did a couple of things that I liked well. The first was his willingness to compete on the offensive glass. The second was his ability to get off the ground well with his second jump. These two traits went hand in hand for the high motor forward as he showed the ability to gobble up in traffic rebounds for his squad.
