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 4th Team breakdown:
Kareem Alkhalifa Kareem Alkhalifa 6'4" | SF Pinnacle | 2026 State AZ Pinnacle
A versatile wing forward does many things well. He defends multiple positions and will rebound in and out of his area. He scores on put backs, he can rip thru and his improving his three point shot off the catch.
Moses Bahige Moses Bahige 6'2" | CG Inspire Prep National | 2024 State AZ Cienega
A tough two-way guard can score and defend. He can step back on his defender, euro to the basket, pull-up from mid-range and hit difficult shots in traffic. He uses his frame, length and quickness to defend.
Cole Denny Cole Denny 6'6" | PF Catalina Foothills | 2025 State AZ Catalina Foothills (Pictured)
A sturdy framed power forward is improving his game and skill. He can hit the catch three with more confidence. He runs the court well, he rebounds in his area and can pull-up from mid-range off the dribble.
Bear Fisher Bear Fisher 6'5" | PF Queen Creek | 2026 State AZ Queen Creek
A power forward who did a little of everything. He ran the court on offense and took the ball off the glass and went coast to coast. He scored on drop steps and talked on defense. He blocked shots at the rim and was a strong two-handed rebounder in heavy traffic.
Christian Garven Christian Garven 6'1" | CG Mesquite | 2024 State AZ Mesquite
A newcomer for me had a good showing. He was one of the best overall shooters at the showcase. He hits three point shots off the catch and can pull-up after a shot fake from mid-range. He is also a smart passer. He should have a good season for the Wildcats.
Cameron Kroeger Cameron Kroeger 6'2" | CG Catalina Foothills | 2024 State AZ Catalina Foothills
Another gunslinger gets hot quickly. He can rattle in catch and shoot triples with a quicker release one by one. The combo guard also will see the court and make smart reads to teammates. He is easily one of the most skilled guards from his class in Tucson.
Payton Lapping Payton Lapping 6'3" | SG Desert Ridge | 2024 State AZ Desert Ridge
A scoring guard can score it from both perimeter levels. He can pull-up from mid and catch and shoot from the three with no wasted movement. He can ball fake and euro his way to the basket. He can also steal the ball with quicker hands on defense.
Mykael Nunez Mykael Nunez 6'5" | PF Canyon Del Oro | 2026 State AZ CDO
A quickly growing power forward looks like he pushed out two inches. He is an inside and out scorer. He can cut towards the basket for easy points and he can also catch and shoot from the three point line. He rebounds in his area and will block a shot or two.
