SWBC: Team Arizona

August 21st-22nd Cedric Cobb Sr and I had the 6th annual Southwest Basketball Camp at the Phhacility in Phx, AZ. 120 players from four states came to gain exposure in front of college coaches and scouts plus compete versus some top end players over the two days.   Each player competed in 5 games for the two days plus 60 competed in an extra All-Star Game. (Top-20, Top-40 and a Non-Senior All-Star Game)   We start breaking down each team.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">We start with Team Arizona</h2>   [player_tooltip player_id='2266045' first='Remi' last='Ajayi'] SF 6'6 2025 Our Savior Lutheran/NY (Pictured)   A bigger wing is a unique player from Canada.
