<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On May 5th-7th the&nbsp;<em>Prep Hoops Circuit</em>&nbsp;was in town. We have the&nbsp;<strong>Bash in the Desert&nbsp;</strong>with teams around the West and even some from the Midwest. Two locations with the Phhacility in Phx/AZ and Inspire Courts in Gilbert/AZ.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I watched as many as the 31 17U teams as I could and ended up seeing 26 of them.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I also caught some 15 and 16U games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here were some of the top PF/C's I viewed: (Including 4 of the tallest players at the event)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1950665' first='Hyrum' last='Donaldson'] Cibola (Legion of Hoops 16 Navy)</strong> <strong>(Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A legit sized center is one of the tallest and longest in Arizona for the 2025 class. He moves well in space and will block shots. He tries challenging all shots, rebound and then runs up the court. He has a 7'0+ wingspan and is a two-handed rebounder and will score with offensive rebound put backs. He is somewhat raw but has things you obviously can't teach.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1571920' first='Jaden' last='Blasczyk'] Bradshaw Mountain ([program_tooltip program_id='2075730' first='New' last='Mexico D1'] 2025-1)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another tall and long post player with some skill and sneaky athleticism. He will rebound, block shots and score from inside and out. He uses drop steps, dunks the ball easily and can space the floor with a catch three. He moves gracefully and is just scratching the surface. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1128460' first='Noah' last='Lungu'] <strong>Gilbert Christian (Steven Hunter Elite 2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A massive post player is one of the biggest in the 2024 class. He scores around the basket with hook shots and put backs and rebounds well in his area. He can improve his conditioning as he just got back from an injury but should have a big senior year at Gilbert Christian. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1524943' first='Parker' last='Henderson'] Hobbs ([program_tooltip program_id='2075730' first='New' last='Mexico D1'] 2025-1)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A very big almost old school center with long arms and a stronger base. He has a nice touch from the elbow and in and he is very hard to move. He runs the floor, sets strong picks, rebounds and scores around the basket. Two more years to keep working and he will be one to watch in New Mexico. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2373625' first='Jairus' last='Turrubiates'] PF 6'6 2025 Hobbs <strong>([program_tooltip program_id='2075730' first='New' last='Mexico D1'] 2024-2)</strong> &nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A live bodied power forward will block shots, fly in the open court and will crash the glass in and out of his area. He plays super aggressively and comes with a huge motor. He is a sneaky good passer, he will finish in transition and is a perfect glue guy for any team. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lawrence Marshall PF 6'4 2026 New Town/ND (Pack 2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A face-up power forward is a fluid mover. He can score it a variety of ways. He can post up with his back to the basket and go to work, scores with his left or right hand around the basket and step out and shoot deep jumpers. He can rebound and then cover a smaller guard on the perimeter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Elijah O'Reilly C 6'6 2024 Murrieta Valley (Gamepoint IE 2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A glass cleaner who takes up space. He uses his girth and has good hands. The strong lefty scores it effectively around the rim, he is a sneaky good passer and will block shots in his area. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Alex Ensor C 6'6 2026 Northfield (IBA 15U)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A post player who shows good long term upside. He has long arms and runs fluidly around the court. He scores it primarily in the paint and challenges opposing post players at the rim and will rebound in his area. He is extremely young for his class and is one to track moving forward. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1570934' first='Diego' last='Sarabia'] Queen Creek (UH Elite 2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A versatile power forward plays like a point forward. He can drive and kick with a nice handle and a high IQ. He works well off the pick and roll game and has good skill to shoot it. He can hit the catch three and brings phsycality and skill to the court. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Alex Kraft PF 6'6 2024 Palmer Ridge (7070 Athletics 2024 Elite)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An active power forward plays with a big motor and sticks his nose into anything around the rim. He has long arms to block shots, he grabs tougher rebounds in and out of his area and will score it on put backs and layups. Another glue guy who gives incredible effort each game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

On May 5th-7th the Prep Hoops Circuit was in town. We have the Bash in the Desert with teams around the West and even some from the Midwest. Two locations with the Phhacility in Phx/AZ and Inspire Courts in Gilbert/AZ.
