205 seniors ranked with 30 newcomers. We take a look at some of the top ones who came in this year.       <h2>Here were the top-11 newcomers: </h2>   [player_tooltip player_id='867936' first='Rayvon' last='Griffith'] AZ Compass Prep   The Cincy native committed to CINN on May 1st. Before he heads there he will be playing for the national team Dragons. He has elite size for position and explodes up to dunk the ball on the break. He can rattle perimeter jumpers off and uses his length to defend. He was one of the standouts from the 3SSB Midwest Basketball Club team that defeated Strive for Greatness EYBL.   [player_tooltip player_id='1039603' first='Zayden' last='High'] AZ Compass Prep   Another transfer by way of Texas. He shined in many prestigious events from Pangos AA Camp and NBA Top-100. He has a stronger frame and can throw it down high easily. He also is a good 3pt shooter and a surprisingly good passer.   [player_tooltip player_id="856637" first="Sebastian" last="Mack"] Hillcrest Prep   One of the more natural scorers in the West. He handles it well and can make plays but he is a bucket! Deep 3's, shifty handle, pull-ups off the dribble and gets downhill to score through contact with his sturdy frame.   [player_tooltip player_id='1434425' first='Tim' last='Rudovskiy'] Dream City Christian   A bigger forward with a strap from the three point line. He transferred over from Sierra Canyon and played for BTI Elite. He can pull-up off the dribble but is best off the catch. He rebounds well in his area.   [player_tooltip player_id='1514116' first='Kobe' last='Harris'] Taylor Made Prep   A sharp shooter who moved in from Cali. He will be taking a post grad year at TMP. He has unusually deep range with a quick trigger. He gets squared quickly and fires away. He has a thicker build to get downhill.   [player_tooltip player_id='1514117' first='Isaiah' last='Baptista'] Taylor Made Prep   Another California native will also take that post grad year at TMP. He is another scorer who is a flamethrower from deep. He also can make plays to teammates. He has a deceptive first step to get into the lane and will score through contact or kick it to a shooter.   [player_tooltip player_id='1491251' first='Marcus' last='Heatherly'] Carl Hayden   A bigger shooting guard finally found his groove. He transfers over from Sunnyslope and Coach Brown is letting him do his thing. He is scoring from the three point line and in and uses floaters well. His size allows him to get into the lane and be effective versus the bigs. He is a good passer and team player.   [player_tooltip player_id='1482208' first='Dylan' last='Spilde'] Boulder Creek   A high IQ scorer seemed to get better every viewing. He is one of those players I didn't know a lot about but is quickly becoming a player that I look forward to watching. He has good size, he shoots it with range and has an advance feel for the game.   [player_tooltip player_id='1441989' first='Titus' last='Palmer'] Sahuaro   One of the best Tucson seniors that not many are aware of. The lefty can shoot it to the three point line and he can change speeds and get into the lane with a burst. He is a good passer and will look to lead his 4A team into the playoffs.   [player_tooltip player_id='1483911' first='Tiekero' last='Sidibe'] Cesar Chavez   The big man has unreal length where he can almost stretch out without jumping and block shots and rebound at a high level. He scores on put backs solely but his length and size gives them a chance to protect the rim, which is a blessing in the AIA.   [player_tooltip player_id='1485864' first='Justin' last='Garcia'] Campo Verde   One of the best shooters in the state in the senor class. He takes pressure off of the do it all PG Kai. He catches and shoots it from the 3pt line and will pull-up from mid-range. He is a true gamer and the small colleges are taking notice of him.
