He can fall away from his defender from 10-feet impressively and score it inside the paint. He will hit the three and defend multiple positions.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2301235' first='Rhys' last='M. Robinson'] Pinnacle (AZ Select 15 UAA)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A wing forward with some size and skill. He rebounds the ball well in his area and will push the break and make a play to a teammate like a point forward. He will hit the three in bunches and then post up and go to work with an all-around game.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2693801' first='Dane' last='Montague'] Perry (AZ Select 15 UAA)&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A massive post player with elite size. He is the biggest player in the 2028 class and he is starting to figure it out more and more. He rebounds everything in his area with two hands and runs the floor. He will score inside with layups keeping the ball high smartly.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2747400' first='Parker' last='Mohrhausert'] Brophy Prep (AZ Select 15 UAA)&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger forward who can play both positions. He is mostly a face-up player who can hit perimeter jumpers but will score with off the ball cuts, hook shots, counter moves in the post and will crab dribble with power and score thru the contact.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2674718' first='Ashton' last='Ries'] Seton Catholic (AZ Gremlins 15 Black)&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A highly efficient power forward who will score with post ups with advanced post footwork, spin moves, put backs and tip ins with and-1's.
