He can comfortably face-up to the three point line off the catch and will also rip thru to score in heavy traffic using his physical frame. He has longer arms to rebound using his strength. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2147245' first='Sean' last='McCarthy']<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/sean-mccarthy/"></a>&nbsp;Canyon Del Oro</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A wing forward who is sneaky athletic. He uses his athleticism to clean the glass well for offensive rebounds. He competes on defense and he is a very good passer who will drive and kick right into a shooting pocket. He plays the role of a point forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2292815' first='Jamar'e' last='Stoudemire']</strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jamare-stoudemire/"><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a>&nbsp;<strong>AZ Compass Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A power forward with vertical pop and long arms. He rebounds well in his area and will score on offensive rebounds with layups and dunks. He occasionally will step out and shoot the three and shows future upside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2146238' first='Victor' last='Vu']<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/victor-vu-2/"><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a>&nbsp;</strong><strong>Apollo</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An undersized point guard who can score. He was one of the more consistent three point shooters at the camp off the catch. He is very elusive and has a quick release to get his shot off. He will burst in the lane and step thru to score or throw a dime to a teammate. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2554023' first='Naji' last='McLemore']<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/naji-mclemore/"><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a>&nbsp;</strong><strong>Poston Butte</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A newcomer for me is a scoring point guard. He can get downhill into a bucket with a nice handle and will bounce off of the contact well. He will cash in on free throws and shows good timing on his passes to his shooters. He should have a big season for the Broncos.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
