I watched 20+ of the 25 17U teams and
Here is my All-Individual 7th Team for 17U:
These are a combination of teams performance combined with how the individual played.
Sekou Sackor Sekou Sackor 5'11" | PG Centennial | 2026 AZ Centennial ( Arizona Select James 2025)
A fast lead guard is very quick and elusive. The lefty will drive and kick, he gets on the glass and plays the passing lanes. He plays really hard on both ends of the court. His lateral quickness is impressive and smartly cuts to get open shots. He is capable perimeter shooter and gets on the glass.
Daquan Slayton Daquan Slayton 6'1" | SG North Field | 2024 CO Northfield/CO (Morgan Dawgs)
A two-way scoring guard has a quick first step. He gets downhill and takes contact well to make tough shots in traffic. He is an out of area rebounder and a is a very good on-ball defender to rip some pockets. The unsigned senior plays with energy.
Aaron Hubbard Aaron Hubbard 6'6" | PF Paradise Honors | 2026 AZ Paradise Honors ( Team Rise N Grind White 17)
A newcomer for me is very efficient in the paint. He has unusually long arms and is a very fluid athlete. He can hit the catch three and his best attribute currently is his length to block or alter shots. He moves well in space and the younger brother of Adam Hubbard Adam Hubbard 6'4" | CG Canyon View | 2025 State AZ shows upside.
Jayden Johnson Jayden Johnson 6'4" | PF Rancho Solano Prep | 2025 State AZ Rancho Solano Prep ( Arizona Grind Elite)
A high energy power forward keeps showing off his improving skill. He is making his catch three at a higher clip. He is still a warrior to rebound and score on put backs. He brings his hard hat to every game he plays.
Lyle Robinson Lyle Robinson 6'4" | SG Phhoenix Prep | 2025 AZ Phhoenix Prep ( Arizona Select 2025 Matthews)
A fluid bigger guard who can create his own space to get his shot off and shoot the three. He has great recovery time and will block a shot off the glass and has some athleticism which he uses on both ends of the court.
Aiden Dunne Aiden Dunne 6'2" | PG Liberty | 2024 State AZ Liberty ( Hunter’s Elite National)
A high IQ and highly skilled scoring point guard who can score and make plays. He will ball fake into a layup or touch the paint and kick it to a teammate. He hit a clutch three to send a game into OT.
Isaiah Shurn SG 6’3 2025 Wylie/TX (Ballers Elite Academy 2025)
An athletic scoring guard can dunk it off of a back door cut. He is a quick second jumper and has good size for a guard. He will drive and kick it and scores it well in transition. He attacks off the dribble and brings natural bounce and energy to the court.
Jayce Underwood Jayce Underwood 6'0" | PG Phhoenix Prep | 2025 AZ Phhoenix Prep ( Arizona Select 2025 Matthews)
A scoring point guard is a natural lefty scorer. He has a nice three point shooting stroke and will outrace his opponents on the break to score. He is quick with the ball and the lefty will make tough shots in traffic. His initial burst to the basket is very tough to defend.
Bobby Rodriguez Bobby Rodriguez 6'1" | PG North Valley Christian Academy | 2025 State AZ North Valley Christian Academy ( Arizona Grind Elite)
A skilled and cerebral scoring point guard. He can score with mid-range pull-ups and is crafty around the basket. He can hit the three plus changes speeds to get downhill. He is one that definitely plays the game from the neck up.
