We had exactly 51 players total in attendance with six teams of 8-9 players on a team. We now look at all six teams and break down each player.
We finish with Team 6:
Myles Godfrey Myles Godfrey 5'11" | PG Cactus Shadows | 2027 State AZ Cactus Shadows (Pictured)
A real pure point guard is a true dimer. He knows how to change speeds well and he is a smooth ball handler. His court vision was one of the best in the showcase and comes with skill. He can score with catch and shoot or off the dribble threes, burst by to lay it in, step backs off of his defenders and make tough shots in traffic.
Jackson Harrison Jackson Harrison 6'2" | CG Scottsdale Christian Academy | 2027 State AZ SCA
A bigger combo guard can score it easily. He can hesitate and use the floater, runners and can pull-up from mid to the three point line. He has a good burst he uses to score in the paint and is a nice passer in traffic. He will score on run outs and is good in transition.
Prince Patel Prince Patel 6'0" Pinnacle | 2027 AZ Pinnacle
A power forward can handle it and bang inside with his strength and length. He rebounds well inside and likes the physical play in the paint. He can go coast to coast with a decent handle and he will hit the catch three point shot. His rebounding stands out.
Liam Pavey Liam Pavey 5'10" | CG Sandra Day O’Connor | 2027 State AZ Sandra Day O’Connor
The third of the Pavey brothers is a scoring combo guard who scores it off the dribble with mid-range pull-ups and can step back from the three. He has a tight handle in close spaces and is a fluid ball handler. He is deceptively quick to burst by his defenders and will use the euro move plus uses the pick and roll game smartly.
Joel Rusingizwa Joel Rusingizwa 6'1" | SF Dream City Christian | 2027 State AZ Dream City Christian
A bigger freshman wing forward can score it from all levels. The lefty can create his own offense off the dribble from mid-range, he takes long strides to the basket and will hit the three. He rebounds well to score on put backs. He is a really long strider who will rebound and block shots inside.
Jose Saucedo Jose Saucedo 5'10" | PG Deer Valley | 2027 State AZ Deer Valley
A decent sized guard who can score and rebound. He has a good burst in the lane off the dribble. He mostly uses his right hand and is a good rebounder in and out of his area. He has smart anticipation skills to play the passing lanes to collect steals.
Elijah Schmidt Elijah Schmidt 5'7" | PG Mesa Mountain View | 2027 State AZ Mountain View Mesa
An undersized point guard who is an easy shooter. He is a deep three point sniper with real range and a fast release. He is also good on the ball defensively with quick hands and feet. He is a good passer who plays the game from the neck up.
Creighton Wirth Creighton Wirth 6'0" | CG Campo Verde | 2027 State AZ Campo Verde
A bigger sized combo guard with good fundamental defense. He will drive and kick it to a teammate. He can get downhill with his tighter handler and hit catch threes plus uses the floater well. The lefty can fall away from his defender and has good ball rotation on his jumpers. The son of a former head coach looks to be a good one.
