He is a twitchy athlete who is a big time downhill athlete and he is a more then capable three point shooter. He is a top-end rebounder for size and he is a very good defender. He will collect steals and block shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1555181' first='Adrian' last='Higuera']</strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/adrian-higuera/"><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a>&nbsp;<strong>Millennium</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A true point guard with a tight handle and high feel for the game. He is a natural downhill player to the basket and is very good in transition to find a teammate or score it. He will drive and kick it to a teammate and he is one of the better lob throwers for the alley-oop. He loves using floaters and runners and the mid-range jumper is his sweet spot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1274847' first='Adam' last='Hubbard']<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/adam-hubbard/"><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a>&nbsp;</strong><strong>Phhoenix Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger sized combo guard who looks like he keeps growing every time you see him. He has one of the prettier shooting strokes from the three point line in the class and comes with range. He can spin on his defender to score inside the paint and has great body control to score around the traffic. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1574517' first='Jaylin' last='Ideran']<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jaylin-ideran/"><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a>&nbsp;</strong><strong>Camelback</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another event and another good showing for the junior point guard. He can pull-up from the three and his confidence seems to be sky high right now. He is a fluid guard who can get downhill with a burst and shoot it from mid-range. He will also slither a pass into the paint for dimes and will even block a shot on defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2147242' first='Isaac' last='McNair']</strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/isaac-mcnair/"></a>&nbsp;<strong>Premier Prep (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A good showing for the scoring guard. He is very athletic and can score. He can take the ball off the glass and go coast to coast with a nice handle. He is an easy dunker and has advanced body control to go along with his bounce. He can shoot off the dribble threes and get to the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1875434' first='George' last='Mihilli']<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/george-mihilli/"><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a>&nbsp;</strong><strong>ALA Queen Creek</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A rare three sport athlete with track and field, football and basketball. He is hyper athletic and has the frame of a football player. He can score but he is a good passer and true play maker with a high feel for the game. He dunks the ball in the open court easily and will take a few strides to power up and dunk it or get to the basket and finish. He grabs offensive rebounds in bunches and plays so hard on each possession.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1875718' first='Melvin' last='Stubbs Jr']</strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/melvin-stubbs/"><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a>&nbsp;<strong>Catalina Foothills</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The most versatile player arguably at the camp defends every position, moves the ball like you should, flies on the break for showtime dunks and makes shots from the perimeter. He is a true play-making defensive wing and keeps trending up. His best basketball is clearly ahead of him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1875722' first='Ethan' last='Ulrich']</strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/ethan-ulrich/"><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a>&nbsp;<strong>Cactus Shadows</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scoring guard who puts up points in a hurry. He will score from all three levels with blow bys with his left or right hand, pull-ups from mid-range and triples off the catch. He will also pull up or even step back from the three. He blocks shots, rebounds and pushes the pace with his speed and handle. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
