Freshmen Showcase: 2nd Team

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Saturday, September 6th&nbsp;<strong>Prep Hoops Arizona</strong>&nbsp;had the 3rd annual&nbsp;<strong>Freshman Showcase</strong>&nbsp;which was hosted at Chaparral HS in Scottsdale, AZ. We had right around 32 incoming freshmen 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 2nd Team</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2785914' first='Yowin' last='Ajawin'] Dream City Chrsitian&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long and fluid power forward is good on defense to rebound and block or alter shots. He has a little bounce as he had a dunk on the break. He is very effective around the basket and can shield off his defenders with his bigger frame and soft hands to score. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2956985' first='Elijah' last='Antoine'] Maryvale</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger guard/wing can handle it and will score multiple ways. He can hit the catch three, he gets downhill with a quick handle in tight spaces. He is fluid on the break and will take long strides to euro to the basket or score with step thrus. He will also rebound out of his area.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2812700' first='Thiago' last='Esquivel'] Maryvale</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An undersized point guard is a tough cover. He is very quick with the ball in his hands and he can create his own separation with an impressive first step. He will score with mid-range pull-ups, off the dribble threes and he can even rim graze dunk it with better athleticism then you realize at his size. He is a leader and talks often on defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2953319' first='Keith' last='Harrison'] Maryvale (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long and athletic wing forward had some eye popping dunks on the break. He moves gracefully from end to end and he had some unreal finishes with next level body control in the air. He will defend multiple positions and collect steals. He will also make some perimeter jumpers mixed in with his drives.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2575862' first='AJ' last='Jabateh'] Bella Vista Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long and fairly skilled wing forward. He has a near plus four wingspan and the lefty loves to get downhill with euros and dribbles drives. He has a nice stroke from the free throw line and can hit an occasional three plus dunk it on the break.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2506519' first='JaKoby' last='Juarez'] Shadow Ridge</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A good sized forward who can play both spots up front. He uses his size and soft hands to score it in the paint with good post footwork. He can step out occasionally to the three with some confidence and rebound the ball at a high clip. He also runs the floor well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2949101' first='Kentrell' last='King II'] Sequoia Pathway</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A quick on quick scoring point guard. He is a very good passer who will thread the needle to a teammate but likes to score. He has a dynamic first step with some speed to burn utilizing either hand to score. He will catch and shoot from the three and he has a tough mid-range pull-up.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
