We move over to the Freshman Standouts:
Delton Prescott III Delton Prescott III 5'11" | PG Sunnyslope | 2027 State AZ Sunnyslope
One of the top incoming guards in the AIA showed off his skills. He is one of the better passers in the class and one of the better ones in the state. He makes live dribble passes look normal and threads the needle into the paint about as well as you can. He plays fast and controlled in transition and has a burst of speed.
Javon Bardwell Javon Bardwell 6'4" | SG Desert Mountain | 2027 State AZ Desert Mountain (Pictured)
A long incoming freshman guard impressed. He rebounds everything with his unusually long arms and can throw it down on the break with supreme bounce. He takes long strides to get to the rim. His length truly bothers his opponents and he is a sneaky good passer. He can hit the catch three or off the dribble and he easily had the play of the day with a nasty tip dunk.
Jabron Bardwell Jabron Bardwell 6'1" | CG Desert Mountain | 2027 State AZ Desert Mountain
Yet another stud freshman is a straight scorer. He hits catch threes in bunches with a super quick release. He moves the ball and will score off pull-ups with his quick release from mid-range. He will hunt shots to put points on the board quickly when needed.
Darius Wabbington Darius Wabbington 6'10" | C Sunnyslope | 2027 State AZ Sunnyslope
A highly skilled five-man who can score and defend. He grabs rebounds in his area with two hands. He has elite hands to catch tough passes and will face-up from mid to the three point line. He can spin off of his defender in the paint and go to work.
Mekhi Walcott Mekhi Walcott 5'8" | PG Desert Mountain | 2027 State AZ Desert Mountain
A quick on quick scoring pure point guard. He will make plays for others with a high feel for the game. He can score from both perimeter levels and his pull-up is very polished. He will be very important to produce off the bench this season.
LJ Diamond LJ Diamond 6'1" | PG Desert Vista | 2027 State AZ Desert Vista
An all-around scoring, defensive lead guard. He can get downhill with his burst and sees the court well. He will get by his defender and is very patient to make a play. He can shoot the three and plays with a good pace and confidence.
