EXPO: 4th Team

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Saturday, September 6th&nbsp;<strong>Prep Hoops Arizona</strong>&nbsp;had the annual&nbsp;<strong>EXPO Showcase</strong>&nbsp;which was hosted at Chaparral HS in Scottsdale, AZ. We had right around 32 players from the 2026-2028 classes who were competing in a few games of 3 on 3 followed by the regular 5 on 5 setting.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This article is not a prospect ranking but how productive they were at the camp. (This is a combination of what I viewed with the two different settings.)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here is the 4th Team</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2857046' first='Kenzo' last='Harrigan'] Mesquite&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A newcomer is a leaner combo guard who is skilled. He will score with pull-ups off the dribble, threes off the catch, he knows how to change speeds to get downhill plus has a quick first step. He smartly reads the floor and will most likely have a good season on JV. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2909102' first='Carson' last='Knight'] Saint Johns (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long and very lean newcomer wing forward. He has a nice basketball frame with a plus wingspan. He scores with cuts off the ball and he can handle it fairly well to create some offense for himself. He is a good passer and uses his length and size to defend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1555149' first='Bryson' last='Krueger II'] Desert Ridge</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long wing forward who has been trending up. He has long arms with good size and athleticism to defend multiple positions. He will score it in transition and hit the the open three or from mid-range. He looks to be a 3 and D after high school. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2916565' first='Brock' last='Rettenmier'] Willow Canyon</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A newcomer for me just moved in from Washington. He is very skilled and cerebral and you can tell he knows how to play. The lefty will hit the three off the catch plus hit from mid-range. He has a good feel for the game and he is a good passer up the court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2149101' first='Jose' last='Saucedo'] Deer Valley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scoring point guard can play multiple positions. He is skilled from the perimeter and he can burst down the lane and get downhill using a deceptively quick first step. He will shoot it with off the dribble or catch threes and moves the ball like you should.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2641718' first='Chad' last='Suell'] Desert Vista&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A fluid scoring point guard is long and lean. He can score with pull-ups off the dribble from mid-range and is very good in transition with his tighter handle and speed. He can shoot it from the deep and gets to the basket well plus defends with his length. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2892770' first='Seth' last='Thompson'] Camp Verde</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A good sized scoring guard is a plus passer and can score it from inside and out using his size. He will shoot it with step back threes and/or catch threes with deep range. He can shoot it off the dribble from mid plus is effective around the cup using a nice touch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
