Bash In The Desert: 15U Buckets

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Prep Hoops <strong>Bash in the Desert</strong> took place in the Phoenix area over the weekend. There were some very talented players at the event. There were some players who were getting a lot of buckets. <br><br><strong>Here are some of the better scorers that I personally saw:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sam Rich SG 6'1” 2028 Undecided (Morgan Dawgs)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The long, rangy guard has been on a roll lately, and it continued into this event. He scored consistently on all three levels. Rich put up 20+ points multiple times. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2432281' first='Preston' last='Friend'] <strong>Highland (East Valley Select)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There might not have been a hotter shooter at the event. Friend put up 30+ points multiple times over the weekend. He did this while shooting a high percentage. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2432180' first='Daylen' last='Holt'] Undecided (D1 New Mexico 2027) (Featured Image)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The shifty guard had stretches that I witnessed where he made buckets on consecutive trips up the court. His mid-range jumper is a thing of beauty and he make some noise once he starts his high school career. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2432574' first='Terrance' last='Byrd'] <strong>Highland Prep</strong> ([program_tooltip program_id='2432520' first='Team' last='Takeoff'] <strong>Tillman 2027) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Byrd capped an impressive weekend with a 38-point performance. The soon-to-be freshman did this by scoring in a variety of ways. He did it mostly operating from 15-feet in.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2396185' first='Zathan' last='Ruffin'] <strong>NVCA</strong> ([program_tooltip program_id='2415446' first='Arizona' last='Grind'] <strong>15U) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The smooth lefty scored effortlessly the entire weekend. He scored in multiple ways and never seemed to force things. He shot it well out to the three-point line. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
