He is good on the break and can cash in his FT's once he gets to the line. He is very fast in the open court with the ball in his hands and scored many layups with his speed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2552789' first='Jacob' last='Ruiz']</strong> <strong>Canyon View</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scoring combo guard plays both positions. He can get downhill to score with a very quick burst to the basket. He rebounds well and will push the pace. He will rain threes and he can also score inside with multiple counter moves.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2552788' first='Gabe' last='Schmid']<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/gabe-schmid/"><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a>&nbsp;</strong><strong>Sunrise Mountain</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A wing forward is tough inside to score and plays both forward spots. He plays the passing lanes well and he has a good motor to go up a second and third time on the glass to score. He will chase the ball off the glass and corral it in traffic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2552786' first='Sencere' last='Sandez']<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/sencere-sandez/"></a>&nbsp;Deer Valley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An undersized scoring point guard is quick to get downhill to score. He will score with catch threes, quick drives to the basket, transition points and he will defend. He had some block shots in his area and plays aggressively. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2548083' first='Austin' last='Starr']<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/austin-starr/"><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a>&nbsp;</strong><strong>Pinnacle</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A highly skilled scoring point guard. The lefty is a natural shooter who has a high feel for the game. He can be a little flashy but his skill will translate to high school and most importantly he has the confidence. He also has advanced court vision to make plays. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2506451' first='Trey' last='Wenk'] <strong>Deer Valley (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A sturdy framed combo guard with some size for a freshman understands the game and plays the right way. He can score with off the catch threes or pull. He is a natural deep shooter and moves the ball like you should. The ball does not stick in his hands and will cut off the ball and stay in motion. He has some quickness to get downhill to the rim with his nice handle.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
