<p>Sunday <strong>Prep Hoops Arizona</strong> had the annual <strong>EXPO Showcase</strong> which was hosted at Inspire Courts in Gilbert, AZ. We had right around 80 players from the 2025-2027 classes who were competing in a few games of 3 on 3 followed by the regular 5 on 5 setting.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here were the 4th Team Standouts</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2396374' first='Levi' last='Carter']<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/levi-carter/"></a> Willow Canyon (Pictured)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A true point guard had some of the best passes at the camp. He plays the game with a super high feel and he has great timing on his passes and drops the dime in perfectly to a teammate. He can score with the catch three and pull-up off the dribble from both levels. He is elusive to the basket and plays good fundamental defense. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2133646' first='Myles' last='Godfrey']<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/myles-godfrey/"><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a> </strong><strong>Cactus Shadows</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Another real point guard has the ball on a string and he is one of the best up the court passers at the camp. He is shifty, he has speed in the open court but he understands pace and will hesitate and change his speed to get to the basket. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1763220' first='Devin' last='Sanders']<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/devin-sanders/"><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a> </strong><strong>Canyon View</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>An extremely quick undersized scoring point guard had a good showing. He uses his speed and handle to get his shot off and can hit the catch three. He also understands how to change speeds and will burst into the lane and score or make a play for a teammate. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1834154' first='Brock' last='Steele']<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/brock-steele/"><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a> </strong><strong>Seton Catholic Prep</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A tough wing forward plays with a big motor and almost a chip on his shoulder. He can drive baseline using his nice handle for position and body to score and-1's in traffic. He will rise up and use the floater game and uses his aggression to corral rebounds and score on offensive rebound put backs. He will be the heartbeat of the Sentinels this year. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Baraka Thompson</strong> <strong>Summit/CA</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A five-foot eleven junior point guard from California showed he can score and make plays. He has a quick burst he uses and will also hesitate and get to the basket. He uses advanced body control and shows good footwork in the paint to score. His burst really was too much to handle for some defenders which set up the rest of his game to score or facilitate.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2297437' first='Dylan' last='Vargas']<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/dylan-vargas/"><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a> </strong><strong>San Tan Charter</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A skilled power forward has a fluid handle and good size. He will score inside with strong moves in the paint but also can make smart reads to teammates for assists. He plays unselfishly and rebounds at a good clip in his area. He will be just what the Doctor ordered for an undersized team for the top 2A San Tan team.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1633039' first='Joseph' last='Voorhees']<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/joseph-voorhees/"><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a> </strong><strong>Premier Prep</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A highly skilled combo guard is a three level scorer. The lefty is quick to burst to the basket and will score with pull-ups from mid-range, side step threes and he is quick second jumper and rebounds well for position. He runs the floor well and will drive and kick it to make a play. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2146240' first='Nickolas' last='Williams']<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/nickolas-williams-2/"><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a> </strong><strong>Cesar Chavez</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A long scoring guard looks like he grew a little and he will make a mark at Cesar Chavez. He can go on his own personal runs from the three point line with real range on his stroke. He will hesitate and get to the basket taking long strides. He rebounds well and can play the passing lanes on defense.</p>
