<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>October 7th-8th I attended the&nbsp;<strong>PHH Prep Classic</strong>&nbsp;located at the Phhacility in Phx, AZ. There were 20+ prep teams in attendance over the weekend from OR, CA, WA, MN and Arizona.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here were some of the standout 2024-25 PF's:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1284846' first='Jason' last='Asemota'] Hillcrest Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A good sized forward is highly skilled. He creates his own offense and makes tough shots in the lane. Mid-range jumpers and high post fall aways are in his big. He can cross his man over and rise up from the three and drill it. He has good body control on the break in the air and is a sneaky good passer for position. A real mismatch problem who can score on anyone.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1809640' first='Jinup' last='Dobuol'] Phhoenix Prep National <strong>(Pictured) </strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long forward who plays the wing position offensively. He had multiple lob dunks and a few tip dunks in traffic that sent the place into a frenzy. He can create his own offense at any time and get to the basket or pull-up with range. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1180583' first='Marsai' last='Mason'] Phhoenix Prep National&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long wing forward who can play and defend both spots. His catch three is really coming along. He is explosive on the break above the rim and he rebounds and block shots in his area.&nbsp;His activity is contagious on defense. His stock keeps rising. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='939069' first='Davius' last='Loury'] Phhoenix Prep OTE&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger forward with skill. He is a very good rebounder in and out of his area and always seems to be around the ball. He is comfortable with elbow jumpers and deep shots off the catch. He won't dunk on you but will out skill you. He is a crafty finisher around the rim and will hit perimeter shots off the dribble.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1032529' first='Nate' last='Parras'] Eduprize</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bouncy power forward was dunking everything. He uses his size and length to rebound at its highest point and is very crafty around the hoop with reverse layups and contested shots. He has good body control in the air and is good off of two feet. He will take charges and do little things to affect the outcome.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1571919' first='Cliff' last='Robinson Jr'] Phhoenix Prep CAA Open&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The son of NBA player Cliff Robinson is a long and lean power forward. He is very fluid and can throw it down on the break. He will defend multiple positions and scores it best inside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1135513' first='Nathan' last='Wanjohi'] Phhoenix Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A power forward who is a great rebounder in traffic with two hands. This is easily his best current attribute. He moves well in space and will dive on the floor to grab a 50/50 ball. He will also challenge shots at the rim or block their shot. He is good in transition and can straight line drive quickly to the basket.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
