Baby Westbrook flies on the break with insane speed and grace. He scores with high level pull-ups, thunderous dunks and threes. He rebounds better than most and can make a play. </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 more all-around players in the AIA scores, defends and plays with a big motor to compete. He is a three level scorer with dribble drives, pull-ups off the dribble, step backs and threes. He rebounds the ball well and sees the court better than most on the list. He had big games this year with 10+ assists. He was the <strong>5A Conference Offensive Player of the Year.</strong> </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 lead guard who plays off the ball just as well. He is scoring the ball more and more as he ages. His pull-ups from mid to the three are getting more polished. He can crossover and rise up versus heavy pressure. His on-ball defense is just as good as anyone's in the class. He was on the <strong>5A All-Conference 1st Team.</strong></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>A bigger combo guard is a two-way stud using his huge wingspan to keep defenders in front of him and collect steals in the passing lanes. He scores getting downhill, hits the open three and sees the floor well. He will have the ball more in his hands next year. He is playing for Paul George EYBL this spring and summer. He was on the <strong>6A All-Region 1st Team</strong> (One of the toughest regions in the AIA which also includes Perry &amp; Basha).</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>A strong framed combo guard has the ability to make plays on the ball and has good court vision. He scores with dunks on the break, catch threes and has enough shift to his handle to create proper separation from his defender and rises up from mid. He earned his first offer from <strong>Arizona State</strong>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2092763' first='Martin' last='Giant']<strong> Supreme Academy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A physical downhill guard plays on or off the ball. He is a fierce on-ball defender with his quick twitch, speed and long arms. He gets to the basket with power drives and will score thru contact. He can shoot it from the perimeter from both levels. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1334752' first='Caden' last='Bass'] <strong>Paragon Academy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger guard plays a lot on the ball for his high school team. He will drive and kick and see players up the court. He has deep three point range and loves the mid-range jumper, which is quickly becoming his sweet spot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1768205' first='Jayden' last='Hughes'] <strong>Brophy Prep </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long and very tall combo guard can play three positions for the Broncos. He played sparingly on an older team and will get his chance to start this season on a talented roster. He can make plays, score and defend with a graceful gait.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1445948' first='Brandon' last='Stapleton'] <strong>Chandler</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A thicker framed guard plays on or off the ball easily. He has really filled in the last year and has the court vision to make plays plus score. The lefty can hit the three plus get downhill with his strength and tight handle. </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 plays a lot on the ball and can see over the top of defenders to find a teammate. He is very shifty with the ball in his hands and can score with pull-ups, quick drives to the basket and catch threes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1323294' first='Will' last='Gordon'] <strong>San Tan Charter (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A high motored combo guard who improved his three point stroke since last year. He is comfortable making plays for others and creating his own offense. He gets on the glass, defends multiple positions and is very good in transition. He was on the <strong>2A All-Region 2nd Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
