I watched every team play once and this is how they performed when they were on the main court. We start breaking down the All-EXPO teams one by one.
Here is the 2nd Team breakdown:
Isaiah Berg Isaiah Berg 6'7" | PF Mica Mountain | 2024 State AZ Mica Mountain
A strong power forward with skill and athleticism. Inside he will rebound and block shots plus score. He can score in the post with either hand and even dunk on someone. He has skill to the three and strength to bang inside the paint.
Jhordan Bowls Jhordan Bowls 6'1" | PG Westview | 2025 State AZ Westview (Pictured)
One of the many pleasant surprises of the showcase. He is a good ball handler with plus size who can make plays and score. He can rattle in triples off the catch and get downhill and then throw a perfect pass to a teammate. He has the runner game and will make some serious noise at Westview this season.
Javion Davenport PG 5’9 2024 Fort Wayne Nortide
A fast scoring guard can score from all levels. He has blazing open court speed and hits deep jumpers. His first step is tough and he can get hot quickly. He hits deep step back threes off the dribble on the norm.
Ayumu Lara Ayumu Lara 6'1" | CG Sahuaro | 2025 State AZ Sahuaro
A scoring combo guard has skill and some grit. He gives hard ball fakes and will go up with left or right hand. He has a quick burst to the rim and is active on defense. He boxes out to rebound like you should and is quick on the ball defensively. He is very fast in the open court.
Jeehzus Pagan Jeehzus Pagan 6'0" | PG Boulder Creek | 2026 State AZ Boulder Creek
A pure point guard who is a ball hawk on-ball defender. He can thread the needle to throw his teammates open and uses his speed to blow by his opponents. He can pull-up from mid-range and hit the catch three. Once he gets into the lane, he can score with tough baskets thru contact.
Tyran Simpson Tyran Simpson 6'2" | SG Deer Valley | 2025 State AZ Deer Valley
A superb wing athlete flies in the open court. He takes unusually long strides to get to the rim and can throw it down easily or shows good body control in the air to score around traffic. He can dribble drive or slash to the rim and take euro steps into a layup. Defensively he will rebound and block shots in his area.
Elijah Summers-Livingston Elijah Summers-Livingston 6'7" | PF Basha | 2026 State AZ Basha
One of the top ranked sophomores in attendance. He is active around the basket and he is an easy dunker way above the rim. He is a supreme shot blocker in and out of his area and gobbles up every board near him. He defends really well in space with length and fluidity. He will score on offensive rebound put backs and can go coast to coast.
Andre Thomas Andre Thomas 6'7" | PF Eduprize | 2025 State AZ Eduprize
A hyper athletic combo forward can play both spots. He can rip thru and get to the basket and dunk the ball. He also has a euro move he can use. He can pull-up from mid-range and even is starting to extend out to the three point line off the dribble or catch. He also made a few nice passes playing an unselfish brand of ball.
