SWBC 2027 Stock Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>August 18th-19th Cedric Cobb Sr and I had the 8th annual&nbsp;<strong>Southwest Basketball Camp</strong>&nbsp;at the Phhacility in Phx, AZ.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>120 players came to gain exposure in front of college coaches and scouts plus compete versus some top end players over the two days. There was a lot of talent in the gym and</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here were 7 Stock Risers from the Junior Class</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2146267' first='Micah' last='Andrews'] Deer Valley (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Co-MVP of the Top-48 game held his own in the Top-24 game as well. The ball is on a string for him and two things standout almost more then any other player in attendance. His on-ball defense and passing. He is super quick to the basket to score plus will hit the catch three and even dunk it on the break showing his improving bounce. His quick feet and hands make it very hard to score on. He also has next level court vision with great timing. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2435389' first='Justin' last='Johnson'] AZ Compass Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Easily one of the best athletes at the camp. He made the top-24 game and he literally seems like he jumps out of the building for his lob dunks getting off the floor in a blink of an eye. He was also hitting the three on day-two and shows a nice shooting stroke from the FT line. The lefty defends nearly every position on the court with his size, quick twitch and length.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2407205' first='Ja'Mir' last='Smith'] Chandler</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another top of the food chain athlete is getting taller and has supreme bounce to leap up and grab any ball even close to him for lobs. He flies on the break and rebounds out of his area at a good clip plus will block shots. His shooting is slowly improving from the perimeter and the FT line.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2396139' first='Kristian' last='White'] Palo Verde</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scoring two-way guard is a quick leaper to score the ball around the basket. He gets to the line often with his big motor to rebound and he is a quick second and third jumper. He will score with mid-range pull-ups, catch threes and dunk it on the break. He is a tough on-ball defender and will score with put backs off the glass. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2276224' first='Tre' last='Wilkins'] AZ Compass Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A highly skilled combo guard has a big feel for the game. He plays at his own pace and he is a very underrated passer with impeccable timing. He is a fierce on-ball defender with plus length and a stronger frame. He will score with tough layups to the basket and hit the catch three.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2337276' first='Brig' last='Standage'] Mesa Mountain View</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger shooting guard has grown at least two inches if not three. He will score it best with catch threes with a pretty looking shooting stroke. He has the off the dribble pull-up, he can get downhill with a sneaky quick first step and comes with real range. He also makes smart reads with the ball.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2396141' first='Kamaiu' last='Ortiz'] Palo Verde</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A quickly improving combo guard is a great passer with a very high feel for the game. The game is slowing down for him and he sees plays develop quickly and will dissect the defense with pinpoint passes. He can get to the basket as he changes speeds well and hit the three off the pull.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
