<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On Tuesday. March 4th I checked out the <strong>EIBC League</strong> Playoffs at the Phhacility in Phoenix. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There were 20+ teams from around the country plus teams from Canada. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here were some of the local standouts from the 1st round of the playoffs </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2368045' first='Don' last='Tinsley'] Bella Vista Prep (Pictured)&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The former Perry HS two-sport athlete is a downhill thicker guard who handles it well and will score thru contact with his football-like body. He dunks it on the break way above the rim and with alley-oop dunks. He will hit the mid-range pull-up and the three. He is hearing from some high level jucos around the country.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1333653' first='Christopher' last='Brookins'] Bella Vista Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A pure point guard with quickness who has next level speed and an elite burst to get to the basket. He can pull-up off the dribble from mid-range and he will facilitate to his teammates.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2171184' first='Gage' last='Bartlett'] Bella Vista Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A walking bucket is a scoring lead guard. He will score with catch threes, off the dribble threes, layups on the break and plays with a good pace and feel for the game. He gets hot so quickly and is ultra confident.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2574801' first='Walter' last='Onyekwelle'] Bella Vista Prep&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A strong post player will rebound well and run the floor. He is a rim runner and finishes it off easily above the rim. His rebounding makes his game go and he will set a strong pick and roll. He is a capable perimeter shooter but works best inside.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1178304' first='Isaiah' last='Hill'] Premier Prep Tucson&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A pure point guard with speed. He is jet quick and sees the court quickly.&nbsp; He is very fast with the ball and keeps improving his pace and changes speeds well. He is a very good rebounder using his bounce and will even post up opposing guards. He committed to <strong>Pima CC.</strong>&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1217316' first='Gerron' last='Graham Jr'] Premier Prep Tucson</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A defensive physical point guard. He has a tighter handle with his left and right hand which is usually a sign of a pure PG. He uses his size to get into the paint and will then facilitate. He will also throw up the court ropes perfectly in stride. He committed to <strong>Pima CC.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2417107' first='CJ' last='Porter'] Premier Prep Tucson</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A glue player who is very active on defense. He can hit the three off the catch and will defend multiple positions. He has some good springs to rebound, he runs the floor and plays hard.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2231101' first='Carlos' last='Duecker'] Premier Prep Tucson</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the better standstill shooters of the long day of hoops. He is a catch and shoot three point sniper off the catch. He rebounds well in his area despite a leaner frame with his size and length and he is a sneaky good passer.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1956215' first='Wyatt' last='Koenig'] Premier Prep Tucson</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A power forward showed off a big motor chasing rebounds all game long out of his area to get his team extra possessions. He will dive for a loose ball and is slowly filling in. He will score with offensive rebound put backs.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
