August 19th-20th Cedric Cobb Sr and I had the 7th annual Southwest Basketball Camp at the Phhacility in Phx, AZ. 120 players from a few states came to gain exposure in front of college coaches and scouts plus compete versus some top end players over the two days.   Each player competed in 5 games for the two days plus 60 competed in an extra All-Star Game. (Top-20, Top-40 and a Non-Senior All-Star Game)   We take a look at each team's standouts.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">We move over to Team USC</h2>   Played/Made Top-40 Game   [player_tooltip player_id='1217316' first='Gerron' last='Graham Jr'] Premier Prep   He was MVP of the top-40 game as he showed off all his traits. He defended on the ball at a high level and ripped some pockets. He can shoot the three off the catch or pull, get to the basket using his tighter handle and strength to take a bump. He had a huge July and he has continued it into August.   [player_tooltip player_id='2357161' first='Jayden' last='Standifer'] Cholla   A big man who is very skilled with some feel for the game. He is a very good passer for position and a strong two-handed rebounder. He will score with fall aways in the paint, uses his plus hands to score inside with post footwork and can shoot it from mid to the three point line.   [player_tooltip player_id='2133624' first='Cyree' last='Jenkins'] Cholla   A two-way defensive point guard is one of the faster guards end to end. He can pull-up or shoot it off the catch from the three, he smartly cuts off the ball to score and he is a very good passer. He is definitely tougher than his size suggests.   [player_tooltip player_id='1306046' first='Alexander' last='Werner'] Premier Prep   A tough wing forward can get downhill with a nice handle for position and will dunk it easily with aggression or score with tough contested shots. He plays with a great motor to rebound in and out of his area and has good court vision for a wing.   Played/Made Non-Senior Game   [player_tooltip player_id='2149096' first='Camden' last='Jenkins'] Cholla   The younger brother of Cyree is a tough two-way physical defender. He can score with threes off the catch and takes contact well with his football-like frame. He has good length and he instinctually competes harder than most in the class.   [player_tooltip player_id='2404558' first='Ray' last='Porter'] Premier Prep   A long wing forward takes long strides to the basket. He is a natural downhill scorer and he is an unusually good rebounder for his size. He scores a lot of his points off of steals and transition points or off the glass. He is also a sneaky good passer.   [player_tooltip player_id='2417107' first='CJ' last='Porter'] Premier Prep   A long combo guard defends multiple positions as he is very good on the ball defensively. He is a plus rebounder on both sides of the ball and will score on put backs with his quick second jump. The lefty can hit the three and play unselfishly.   Other Standouts   [player_tooltip player_id='2279897' first='Caiden' last='Johnson'] Salpointe Catholic   A fluid combo guard is long and lean. He is a good passer and will move the ball, as he sees the court well. He scores it best with his catch threes in rhythm but can score on the break with some quickness.   [player_tooltip player_id='2231101' first='Carlos' last='Duecker'] Premier Prep   A bigger sized small forward is another long athlete. He will get on the glass with offensive rebounds and score on tip ins or put backs. He will catch and shoot from the three point line and he can get hot quickly. He projects out as a specialist at the next level.
