<!-- 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 Newcomer G/W's from the Junior Class</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2949458' first='Philip' last='Johnson Jr'] LFPA</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger combo guard can move over and play the lead role. He is very calm with good pace to his game. He has a high feel and makes the game easy for his teammates with pinpoint passing. He can score in transition plus hit the catch three.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2891695' first='Jayden' last='Bebout-Vega'] Tempe Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A thicker framed wing forward who has nice length and decent size for position. He will score it from inside and out. He can score with hook shots, offensive rebound put backs and hit the three off the catch. He plays hard on defense and should have a big year.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2949476' first='Porter' last='Hiatt'] Red Mountain&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scoring combo guard likes to get downhill. He is a good ball handler who has advanced court vision. He sees it quickly and makes the pass. He can score it getting to the basket with plus footwork for a guard. He uses quick moves and a burst to get to the rim and score it around traffic.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2948651' first='Dominik' last='Hernandez'] Mica Mountain</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scoring point guard moves the ball smartly but he was one of the top pure shooters out there. He is a catch and shoot three point sniper. He has one of those releases that look good on every attempt. He is a good passer and plays a smart brand of ball.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2950394' first='Michael' last='Vaca'] Walden Grove&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A combo guard with some quickness with the ball in his hands. He is a sneaky good passer and will throw some up the court dimes. He will shoot the three off the catch. He tries hard on defense and should have a good season for the Red Wolves.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2950399' first='Julian' last='Gonzales'] Desert View</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scoring point guard can slide over to the two to score it. He has a nice shooting stroke from the three point line off the catch but has some quickness to get downhill to score it inside the paint. I can only assume that he is one of the better players at his high school and knows how to play.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2950406' first='Alex' last='Beck'] Mica Mountain</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An undersized forward with broader shoulders. He likes to face-up from the elbow and he can even extend out to the three point line off the catch. He is a very good rebounder for his size and is not afraid to put his body in the fire to grab rebounds over taller players.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
