It was in HS team format and I watched 15+ different teams and saw many top players.
Here were some of the top standouts:
Cameron Williams Cameron Williams 6'10" | PF St. Mary's | 2026 State AZ St Mary’s
A long power forward was rebounding in and out his area and blocking shots at a high clip. He kind of had that coming out party. He scored on put backs, mid-range jumpers, runners and dunking it. His ability to defend in space then be a top notch shot blocker at his size and length separates him from most. He can fall away from the high post.
Caspian Jones Caspian Jones 6'7" | SF St. Mary's | 2025 State AZ St. Mary’s
A strong forward easily scores thru contact with some tough buckets. He can dunk it in traffic and is a three level scorer. He had the best poster dunk of the day that turned some heads. His mid-range jumper off the dribble is very difficult to defend.
Styles Phipps Styles Phipps 6'1" | PG St Mary's | 2024 State #182 Nation AZ St. Mary’s
The Grand Canyon commit was scoring from all levels. His polished pull-up game was on and he clearly put on more muscle for the upcoming AIA season. He is also playing more aggressively on defense, ripping some pockets and made a few incredible passes.
AJ Thomas AJ Thomas 6'4" | PG Eduprize | 2025 State #292 Nation AZ Eduprize
One of the top point guards of the prep world put on a show per usual. He is an above the rim athlete and found his teammates in stride. His three point stroke is coming around. He also had some clutch moments with his shooting and he has a next level college euro move with speed.
Bryce Anderson Bryce Anderson 6'5" | SF Phoenix Christian | 2024 State AZ Phoenix Christian (Pictured)
A long forward jumps out of the building. He is talking more on defense becoming more of a leader. He moves his feet well to defend guards and wings. He can create his own offense off the dribble from mid to the three. His ability to dribble operate thru defenses with his size and length make him a tough cover. He is starting to figure it out and the team can play through him.
Dayton Foster Dayton Foster 5'7" | PG ALA West Foothills | 2024 State AZ ALA West Foothills
A smaller point guard has the ball on a string for him. He can get into small spaces with his burst. It is hard to stay in front of him off the dribble. He will drive and kick it to an open shooter. He uses the pick and roll game well and makes passes with either hand in stride. He is a step quicker then almost anyone in the state. He is also one of the better passers and makes threes with range. He picked up an offer from Benedictine-Mesa.
Mason Hunt Mason Hunt 6'5" | SG Bradshaw Mountain | 2024 State AZ Bradshaw Mountain
A sturdy framed scoring guard handles a lot of the point guard duties. He can catch and shoot from the three point line and fall away in the post. He can also hit shots off the dribble, post up and go to work. He is a very good passer and gets high elevation on his mid-range jumpers.
Kaleel Kelly Kaleel Kelly 6'2" | PG Willow Canyon | 2025 State AZ Willow Canyon
A pure point guard has a shifty handle with a strong upper body, He is a phenomenal passer with up the court passes on a rope, basic bounce passes in stride, slip passes and drive and kicks. He makes his teammates better and can score. He will get downhill and using his powerfully built frame.
