Hoop Life Newcomer Guards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On Saturday July 27th I attended the<strong>&nbsp;Hoopers Only Hoop Life Regional Championship&nbsp;</strong>at the Phhacility in Phx,AZ. I checked out about 15 different programs from AZ and here were some of the standouts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">We move over to the newcomer CG/SG's</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2506451' first='Trey' last='Wenk'] Deer Valley (SMAC 15) (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A combo guard who has real court vision. He has a high level feel for the game and anticipates where his teammates will be and makes the read. He can shoot the three with good ball rotation on his shot. He is the younger brother of Tyler Wenk who played at DV for 4 years and just graduated.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2506453' first='Landon' last='Abrams'] Brophy Prep (SMAC 15)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the many snipers of the team is a catch and shoot three point gunner. The shooting guard&nbsp;can go on his own runs from the stripe and knows how to play. He moves without the ball and plays with a high IQ for the game. He is heading to the Brophy Broncos of 6A who are always flooded with talented players like himself. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2506448' first='Josiah' last='Noriega'] Tucson (Tucson Spartans 15)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scoring guard who can score with the floaters or runners. His body control and athleticism allows him to make tough shots in traffic in every game. He rebounds well in his area and will score on put backs. He makes threes and shoots it from mid. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2506450' first='Joshua' last='Selter'] Sahuaro (Tucson Spartans 15)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A fluid shooting guard is smooth to get to the rim. He has a quick initial first step&nbsp;and gets past his defenders very quickly. He takes longer strides and has a good sense of awareness of what he is trying to do on the court. He will defend multiple positions and can play on or off the ball fairly well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2507244' first='Aiden' last='Riesen'] AZ College Prep (AZ Fire)&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A rising senior is a lefty sharp shooter. He will catch and shoot and knock down the three. He made multiple clutch shots when I viewed them and is not afraid of the big moment. The scoring guard is very cerebral and&nbsp;plays the game the right way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2266385' first='Braylen' last='Gray'] Willow Canyon (Hoop Code 16)&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A floor spacing shooting guard who can score. The lefty is natural scoring guard who can shoot the three off the catch. He moves without the ball and relocates to open spaces and will get his shot off quickly before the defense closes out. He has a little size and seems like he is not done growing. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
