<p>June 17th-18th I watched the second ever<strong> Section-7 Qualifier</strong>. There were 96 teams in 12 pools of 8 teams each at State Farm Stadium in Glendale,AZ. I went back on BallerTV and watched some teams that I missed from the two days and discovered some more talent. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here were some more players who performed well</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1377952' first='Caden' last='Hammond'] <strong>Sunrise Mountain</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A good sized wing forward with size and an IQ. He scores it from all levels with catch threes, drives to the basket, transition scores and fall aways in the post. He rebounds well in his area and knows how to play the game. He will most likely be the leading scorer for the Mustangs this season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2039490' first='Noah' last='Adkins'] <strong>ALA-Ironwood </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A pure point guard who can score. He has a tight handle with his left or right hand and sees plays happening quickly. He will thread the needle to a teammate and will throw timely passes in stride. He scores with deep threes with real range and a quick trigger and collects steals and will race down the court for layups. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2414049' first='Ryan' last='Milner'] <strong>Horizon </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A cerebral lead guard moves the ball and will score. He makes up the court passes, drives and kicks and will make the extra pass. He is a sneaky quick first step and can get into the paint plus he shoots it easily from the three point line off the catch. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2279901' first='Myles' last='Swift'] <strong>North</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A long and athletic power forward. He works well inside the paint with some twitch and long arms. He can flush it down easily above the rim, score it efficiently around the basket, rebound the ball well and block shots in bunches. His ability to jump a second time quickly helps him achieve many of his talents. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2298905' first='Jorden' last='Etheridge'] <strong>Verrado</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>An undersized pure point guard with great speed and quickness. He has some length with his jets in the open court. He scores it with blow byes into the paint and perimeter jumpers off the pull or catch. He has quick hands and feet to defend on the ball and will steal a ball and take it coast to coast. He has good body control to score in the paint. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2322523' first='Joe' last='Miller'] <strong>Saguaro</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A physical post player is now stepping out and shooting the three with more success. He can still be the strong forward and work inside the paint with nice touch around the basket. He can create his own offense with his handle. He passes the ball well out of double teams and he keeps adding new wrinkles to his game. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2386974' first='Nasir' last='Hailey'] <strong>Saguaro (Pictured)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the top incoming freshman guards has very long arms, a tight handle in close spaces and can score and make plays. He has a quick first step to get downhill and can euro to the basket to score and attacks the rim protector with no fear. He rebounds the ball unusually well for a guard and keeps his defenders in front of him with his length and quickness. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1674465' first='Lamar' last='Anderson'] <strong>Dysart</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A long and very fluid wing forward. He can throw it down impressively in traffic with his bounce and long arms. He has some shift to his handle and can create the separation and get downhill. He is a sneaky good passer and rebounds well with his athleticism. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1834712' first='Santiago' last='Leyva'] <strong>Dysart</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>An undersized power forward with advanced post footwork, long arms and soft hands. He can work inside and counter off of his first move into a bucket or pass it out of the double team. He catches any pass thrown his way and knows how to use his body to his advantage to go along with his length. He rebounds well in traffic with stick em on his hands. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1193887' first='Rhys' last='Walcott'] <strong>Eastmark</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A gifted scorer from both perimeter levels. He has the catch three in bunches and he has a sharp pull-up from mid-range. He cuts off the ball and scores on back doors and uses his long arms to play the passing lanes. He plays a small floor game on the ball. </p>
