I watched exactly 19 15U teams.
Here are some All-Tournament performances for the weekend.
These are based on ONE/TWO games I saw of each team. These are NOT prospect rankings.
Aiden Peiro Aiden Peiro 5'7" | PG AZ Canyon Del Oro (Valley Elite 15U) Pictured – Middle
In a couple of games I saw of Aiden this weekend, he was the focal point of his team. He was doing the distributing and scoring. Scoring wise he had tough finishes around the basket using either hand. He also utilizes floaters well when there’s traffic in the lane. On the defensive side of the ball, he had active hands getting steals and even a couple of sneaky blocks. On the playmaking side, he had some nice dump-off passes off attacking downhill.
Camren Hicks Camren Hicks 6'4" | SF Canyon Del Oro | 2027 AZ Canyon Del Oro (Valley Elite 15U) Pictured – Left
A left-handed forward who is a great finisher around the basket. The interesting thing about Camren is that he seems ambidextrous; while he shoots left-handed, he excels at finishing on the right side. He can score down low off a post-up and is active on the offensive glass, getting putbacks off those rebounds. He also occasionally will shoot the three where he has the capability to knock it down.
Henry Matus Henry Matus 6'2" | SG Canyon Del Oro | 2027 AZ Canyon Del Oro (Valley Elite 15U) Pictured – Right
A right-handed forward who is a 3&D kind of player. Henry has a long reach that he uses to affect shots on the defensive end and shoot over defenders on the offensive end. Offensively, he’s a good spot-up shooter from three and has the ability to make defenders pay by attacking downhill off hard closeouts where he has a good touch around the rim. If he doesn’t get all the way to the rim, he also has a solid pull-up game from mid-range. He also has active hands on the defensive end.
Ajay Vigil Ajay Vigil 5'8" | SG Cleveland | 2027 State NM Cleveland ( New Mexico D1 2027)
Ajay is a point guard that can make his presence felt from three. He looked comfortable from three in catch-and-shoot situations and pulling up in transition off the dribble. He passes the ball well and is solid at attacking downhill and finishing through contact. He also makes good reads out of the pick-and-roll.
Amaurie Beausejor Amaurie Beausejor 5'9" | PG Desert Mountain | 2027 AZ Desert Mountain (AZ Select 15U)
Amaurie is a high-IQ player and is like an on-court coach on the floor. He excels at finishing through contact when attacking downhill and if he doesn’t get a bucket out of it, he gets to the line where he showed to fill it up from the free-throw line. Overall, he is a coachable player and good at making in-game adjustments. Amaurie is a good player to have on your team.
