June 6th-8th I attended the 17th annual Best in Basketball Summer Invitational at Mesquite HS in Gilbert/AZ. There were 24 teams playing in five showcase type of games over the three days.    Here is the All-Tournament 6th Team:   6th Team   [player_tooltip player_id='1366585' first='Makai' last='Frazier-Taylor'] Hamilton   An athletic lefty scoring combo guard. He has great speed in the open court and will throw it down. He is an out of area rebounder with good energy. He will cut without the ball to score and defend. He will surprisingly chase down blocks and should have a big senior year.   [player_tooltip player_id='2146269' first='Daijon' last='Grayson'] Mesa   An undersized pure point guard with speed is quick on quick. He has a real burst to get by his opponents using a nice fist step. He has a real shifty handle and finds teammates in stride. He scores with speed dribble and jumpers.   [player_tooltip player_id='1633050' first='Sebastian' last='Hatsakorzian'] St. Mary's   A strong framed wing is a point forward type. He will make up the court and reads the play better than many point guards. He will score with tough layups in transition, he takes long strides to the basket and will hit the three off the catch. On defense he will block shots and dive on the floor with a big motor.   [player_tooltip player_id='1570942' first='Tillman' last='Huish'] Gilbert    A bigger sized scoring point guard. He really sees the court well and works well off of the pick and roll game and will thread the needle to a teammate. He can get to his spots when he looks to score with pull-ups and off the catch jumpers.     [player_tooltip player_id='2386977' first='Kyle' last='Speed'] Gilbert    An incoming freshman is already impacting the Tigers. He is an all-around wing forward who moves the ball well and plays unselfishly. He will defend multiple positions with his size, strength, IQ, athleticism and length. He rebounds well and will score it around the rim plus hit some jumpers.      [player_tooltip player_id='2325982' first='Stetson' last='Rowley'] ALA Gilbert North   One of the top shooting forwards in the class. He has a very clean stroke with some range and pretty ball rotation from the three point line. He will score inside with put backs and block a couple shots.   [player_tooltip player_id='2432440' first='Alexis' last='Sainz'] Cholla   A massive post player with elite hands. He rebounds everything in his area like he has stick em on his hands. He will even tap the ball to himself off the glass and score and is nimble for his size. He will close out to block shooters and knows how to seal and go to work. He will score on soft jumpers and put backs around the rim.   [player_tooltip player_id='1490887' first='Blake' last='Sosnowitz'] Phoenix Country Day   A highly skilled and cerebral scoring lead guard. He will spray the ball around to teammates and score. He has deep volleyball line and a quick trigger. He can pull-up from the three off the dribble with real range and when he is on, they are a tough out.    [player_tooltip player_id='1285501' first='Cezer' last='Sotomayor'] ALA Gilbert North   A cerebral scoring defensive combo guard. He is a neck up type of player with a good feel for the game. He will score with layups in transition, blow by's in traffic after a burst to the basket and mid range jumpers. He keeps his opponents in front of him and always plays the right way and moves the ball.   [player_tooltip player_id='2146241' first='Creighton' last='Wirth'] Campo Verde (Pictured)   A combo guard is a lefty sharp shooter. He has a clip with range. He gives a hard ball fake and lets it fly with range. He will move the ball and relocate to get a better shot. He can also fall away in the post, has quick pull-ups off the dribble and will score in transition.
