Cali scouts are calling him baby Russell Westbrook. He flies on the break with grace and has a high level mid-range pull-up which is nearly impossible to defend. He is also a very good passer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1150824' first='Kaden' last='House'] <strong>Desert Mountain</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top motors in the state regardless of class. He seems to be everywhere on both sides of the court. He scores from all levels and is a better passer than he gets credited with and a top notch help side defender. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1150823' first='Kalek' last='House'] <strong>Desert Mountain</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A good sized combo guard is a two-way player. He uses his size, length and lateral quickness to keep his opponents in front of him. He can make open threes and is a very good rebounding guard. He makes smart reads and does a lot of little things to help a team win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1490239' first='Daylen' last='Sharper']<strong> Brophy Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The two sport star has multiple power-5 offers for the gridiron but is very talented on the hard court in his own right. He handles the point guard duties and can play on or off the ball, and will make plays, defend and score it. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2092763' first='Martin' last='Giant']<strong> Phhoenix Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic downhill defensive guard. He can hit the three and step back on his defender but he is very hard keeping out of the lane. He has a quick first step and will often drive and kick it. His defense makes his game go. He already holds two Division-1 offers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1334752' first='Caden' last='Bass'] <strong>Paragon Science Academy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A transfer by the way of Peoria High will be playing a lot on the ball for the new prep team. He is also a three level scorer with deep threes, pull-ups from mid-range and a floater game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1875722' first='Ethan' last='Ulrich'] <strong>Skyline Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic guard shined recently at the end of summer Southwest Camp. He showed off his improvement from the perimeter and he dunks it easily on the break. His three point shooting stood out and he is starting to put it together. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='994689' first='Noah' last='George']<strong> Canyon International Academy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger combo guard is improving his handle as he ages. He can shoot the three off the pull or catch. He can get a step on his defender and get to the rim. He also plays the passing lanes on defense. <strong> </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1496642' first='Izaiyah' last='Romero']<strong> Phhoenix Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A strong framed combo guard is one of the more explosive guards on the list. He uses his strong frame to get into the paint and he consistently scores thru contact. He also may be the top rebounder and will defend multiple positions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
