Before the varsity tipped off, I checked out the Freshman and Junior Varsity games to see some good younger players.
Here were the Freshman Standouts:
Jamar’e Stoudemire Jamar’e Stoudemire 6'3" | PF Perry | 2027 State AZ Perry (Pictured)
A long wing forward with decent size already. He can step out and shoot the three off the catch and take long strides to the basket. He will go after rebounds with his quick second jump and he is a supreme shot blocker in and out of his area.
Cristian Uribe Cristian Uribe 5'11" | PG Perry | 2027 State AZ Perry
The point guard of the team who guides them and talks all game long. He changes speeds well and has a quick burst. He will score on running layups, pull-ups from mid to the three and seems like the mid is his sweet spot.
Luke Galvanoni Luke Galvanoni 6'4" | SF Perry | 2027 State AZ Perry
A long wing cuts when he should, he can shoot the three point shot but is best getting to the basket. He takes long strides to maneuver in the paint. He uses his long arms to play the passing lanes and rebound. He is also a smart passer.
Leroy Wood Leroy Wood 6'2" | SF Perry | 2027 State AZ Perry
A stronger forward who will score and defend. He will shoot it from the three point line off the catch plus has good ball fakes in his bag. He will pull-up from mid-range and is very efficient inside the paint to score. He plays physical on-ball defense and he is a good passer and rebounder in and out of his area.
Kadin Williams Kadin Williams 5'11" | PG Sunnyslope | 2027 State AZ Sunnyslope
A highly skilled guard who is quick. He moves the ball well and can get by his defender off the dribble. He can fall away from mid-range and takes contact well driving to the cup. He is deceptively long in the passing lanes to collect steals.
O’mari Gilbert O’mari Gilbert 6'5" | PF Paradise Valley | 2027 State AZ Sunnyslope
A long power forward has a versatile game. He is a shot blocker using his length and timing and the lefty moves well from end to end. He can face up to the three point line and has a soft touch on his free throw shooting.
Ryder Cirone PG 5’7 2027 Sunnyslope
An undersized point guard has a quick first step to get downhill. He gets to the FT line often and knows how to change speeds. He shows toughness and skill. He is a good passer as he made a few phenomenal passes down the court and slipped a couple thru to teammates.
Here are the Junior Varsity Standouts:
Jayden Cunningham Jayden Cunningham 6'2" | PG Perry | 2026 State AZ Perry
A skilled point guard can score and make plays for his teammates. He gives hard ball fakes and will go up to score. He can also shoot it with pull-ups from mid to the three point line.
AJ Remo AJ Remo 6'0" | SG Perry | 2025 State AZ Perry
A skilled scorer from both perimeter levels. He hits pull-ups from mid-range and catch triples. He plays with a high feel for the game and is a confident shooter off the catch or pull.
Jeremiah Jones Jeremiah Jones 6'10" | C Perry | 2025 State AZ Perry
The big man moves well from end to end. He rebounds without really needing to jump with his elite size and length. He can run the floor and dunk it. He will also score on tip ins, lobs in the air and put backs. He has a good touch on his free throws.
Noah Dayton Noah Dayton 5'10" | CG Perry | 2026 State AZ Perry
A combo guard with a strap from the three point line. He has a nice floater game and is calm with the ball. He has a quick burst to the basket and uses his good upper body strength to score thru contact. He can pull-up from mid-range.
Tommy Reeve Tommy Reeve 5'11" | SG Sunnyslope | 2026 State AZ Sunnyslope
A lefty scoring guard plays some JV and is on varsity. He can rattle off triples one by one. He plays off the ball mostly but he is a very good passer with a high IQ for the game.
Darren Desmond Darren Desmond 6'4" | SF Sunnyslope | 2026 State AZ Sunnyslope
A strong wing forward who can hit the three off the catch. He is very athletic to block shots off the glass and rebounds at a good rate. He has a good frame to rip thru and get to the basket and is very fast in the open court to outrace his opponents with or without the ball.
Matthew Barry Matthew Barry 5'11" | PG Sunnyslope | 2027 State AZ Sunnyslope
A smart point guard with a burst and skill. The freshman was playing up on JV and played well. He can shoot it from mid to the three and has a pure free throw stroke with a high arc and textbook form.
