Here is the All-Tournament Fourth Team:
Owen Bell Owen Bell 6'6" | SF American Leadership Academy-Gilbert North | 2024 State AZ ALA Gilbert-North
A very long and lean forward who runs the floor and is a big leaper. He rebounds and will alter or block shots. He cuts for easy points on layups and always seems to stay in motion on offense. When he is putting up points, it makes this team even harder to defend.
Jase Benjamin Jase Benjamin 6'1" | SF San Tan Charter | 2027 State AZ San Tan Charter
A freaky athletic incoming freshman wing. He is a good passer, very fast in transition and catches tough passes in traffic. He made a few dunks on the break after he grabbed the ball in the passing lanes. He will be a next level on-ball defender sooner rather than later on the perimeter with his length, strength and quick twitch. He also had multiple chase down blocks showing some things that most players can’t do.
Luke Danielson Luke Danielson 6'6" | PF American Leadership Academy Gilbert North | 2025 State AZ ALA Gilbert-North
A strong framed power forward rebounds and blocks shots. He scores on put backs, face-ups, he can rip thru and finish plus he will occasionally hit the open three. He plays with a big motor to compete and will rebound with two-hands on traffic.
Makai Frazier-Taylor Makai Frazier-Taylor 5'10" | CG Hamilton | 2025 State AZ Hamilton
A hyper athletic combo guard seems to glide in the air with great body control. He has that much needed burst with his left hand and will blow by his defenders. He will drive and kick it to a shooter, block a shot off the glass and when he is hitting his three point shot, he is a tough cover.
Kaden Garber Kaden Garber 5'10" | PG Chandler | 2024 State AZ Chandler
A scoring combo guard is improving his facilitating as he ages. He is a pick and roll passer, drives and kicks and finds many cutters and will blow by his defender then dump it off to a post player. He can shoot it off the catch from the three, get on the offensive glass and score on transition buckets.
Logan Johnstad Logan Johnstad 6'4" | PF San Tan Charter | 2024 AZ San Tan Charter
A cerebral post player who has elite hands and catches literally everything near him. He rebounds well and can crab dribble and create his own shot. Has a very good handle for a post player and will step out and shoot the three or make good reads to teammates. He is invaluable to the team with mostly guards.
Alex Neill Alex Neill 6'4" | PF AZ College Prep | 2024 AZ AZ College Prep
A strong power forward in the post. He is patient, very fundamental and will score on hook shots or offensive rebound put backs. He has a nice touch on his free throws, great hands to catch passes and hustles on both ends of the court. He talks all game long and plays with a great motor.
Nazir Richardson Nazir Richardson 6'2" | SG Gilbert | 2024 State AZ Gilbert
A strong scoring guard can catch and shoot from the three point line and score in traffic. He handles contact well with his thicker upper body. He is a good second jumper with effort and competes at a high level on defense and will rebound. He will also drive and kick it to open teammates.
Noah Sowunmi Noah Sowunmi 6'4" | SF North Canyon | 2024 State AZ Paradise Valley
A bigger scoring guard has a quick first step and will get fouled or score thru traffic. He is a very good passer who can hit the three and rebounds at a high level. He works his way into the lane with his size and handle making him very tough to defend. He is a very good rebounder for his position and an all-around player.
Joseph Voorhees Joseph Voorhees 6'1" | CG Premier Prep Online Academy | 2025 State AZ Pusch Ridge (Pictured)
A long and lean lefty point guard who is very quick. He can shoot it from deep beyond the three point line plus pull-up from mid-range. His quickness with the ball allows him to create the proper separation to get his shot off and often changes speeds.
