<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Third Team</span></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1502825' first='Aaron' last='Banks']</strong> – SG – 6'2” – 2024 Artesia</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A talented scorer that can score in a variety of ways, both from inside and out. Using his strong build he is able to get anywhere he wants on the basketball court. That paired with his quick first step, he is very hard to contain.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1119280' first='Jamari' last='Widemon'] </strong>– PF – 6'5” – 2024 Berkeley</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Built with good size, he brings a lot of intensity to both sides of the court. The biggest takeaway from his game is the relentlessness that you see in his game. Never settling for bad shots, he will take it coast to coast and always competes to win.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1502805' first='Euan' last='Davis']</strong> – PG – 6'2” – 2024 El Camino</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He is the ultimate team player on both ends and someone that you want to make sure he is on your team and not playing against him. He is very active on the defensive end as a stronger guard that will pick you up full court. On the scoring side, he uses his quickness to beat the defense into the paint while using his strength to go through them.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1587350' first='Matthias' last='Tinker']</strong> – SF – 6'6” – 2024 MLK Riverside</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A lengthy scorer that relies heavily on his three-point shooting. He is content shooting both off the dribble as well as in spot-up situations where he particularly excels at from deep range threes. He is also very active on the defensive end by using his length to block shots.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1502829' first='Zion' last='Staples']</strong> – PF – 6'5” – 2024 Artesia</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He is more of a traditional big man but does what he needs to get done. He'll catch you off guard when he brings the ball up on a fastbreak while still being able to feed his teammates. The best part of his game is his money midrange game and in pick-and-pop situations. He knows what he's good at and he sticks to that.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1587334' first='Dontaye' last='Hardy']</strong> – PF – 6'7” – 2024 Artesia</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The tallest player in the gym used his size to his advantage all day long. If he was able to continue to develop his shot, he would be even more dangerous.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Keishmer Foster</strong> – SF – 6'3 – 2023 Aquinas</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He makes his case on the defensive end by picking up full-court almost every possession. Putting him in pick-and-roll settings also benefits the team greatly.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1582756' first='Jeremy' last='Williams']</strong> – SF – 6'3” – 2024 Etiwanda</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He started off the day a little slow but quickly picked up his play starting to provide a leadership aspect to his team. Using his length he is able to get to the rim very easily. </p>
