Freshmen Showcase: 3rd 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 3rd Team</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2816634' first='Kessington' last='Cole'] Goodyear</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A very quick undersized point guard is a dimer with a super tight handle. He has a quick shooting release with deep three point range. He is strong to score thru the contact and he will make tough shots in traffic. They only have one class at the brand new school and he will be one of their top guys moving forward.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2956838' first='Jacob' last='Cuen'] St. Mary's&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A good sized wing with skill and confidence. He has real shooting range from the three point line with a quicker release. He gets squared quickly and he can also get downhill to the basket. He also handles the ball well and he is a sneaky good passer.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2854671' first='Jonathan' last='Ortiz'] Deer Valley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A mature point guard is cerebral, skilled and plays from the neck up. He has deep three point range and he is very crafty around the basket. He has an elusive handle and he is a good passer with next level court vision. He may get some early minutes on varsity.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2957462' first='Jacob' last='Pap'] Horizon</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scoring guard with decent size and lot of skill. He will pull-up off the dribble from mid to the three point line and is best off the catch from deep. He will defend in space and some inside as well. They have a big senior class and look for him to start getting some varsity minutes potentially next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2957542' first='Micah' last='Rasdall'] AZ College Prep (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A skilled undersized guard who can play on or off the ball. He will score some nice moves in the paint with euro steps and has a nice shooting stroke from the three off the catch. He handles contact well with some toughness and he is a good passer up the court.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2949688' first='Zion' last='Sanchez'] Boulder Creek</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long forward with great size already can score and defend. He can create his own offense with a decent handle and is great to the basket with and-1's thru contact plus shoot it from the perimeter. He has a chance to make some noise early on as a freshmen on varsity and he may be one of the main guys next season.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2957459' first='Meqhi' last='Teutsch'] Maryvale</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A very long forward who can play both positions up front. He moves very gracefully up the court and he can defend. He is very effective around the basket and will dunk it easily on the break. He will rebound in and out of his area and shows upside.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
