<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:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2571600' first='Michael' last='Brogdon'] Centennial</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A naturally tough wing forward can score with the catch three, reverse layups and he is a good passer. He talks on defense 24/7 and he fights inside for rebounds as he takes pride in his defense. He is an unselfish player and he is a good passer. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2957434' first='Rom' last='Cohen'] Horizon</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>An undersized combo guard is a cerebral player and a smart passer. He has a good feel for the game and he can score. He can hit the three off the catch with a quicker trigger and shoot it from mid-range. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2957456' first='Jack' last='Courtright'] Perry</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>An inside and out threat is a face-up power forward. He has strength with a thicker frame to go along with his skill. He keeps the ball high inside the paint to score on put backs and will let it fly from the three point line and from mid-range. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2959382' first='Yousef' last='Hammad'] Goodyear</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>An undersized point guard is quick on quick. He has next level court vision and will throw ropes up the court and drive and kick it. He legitimately can score with his left or right hand as a true ambidextrous player. He can score with the floater game and perimeter jumpers.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2785907' first='Jackson' last='Hefferon'] Deer Valley</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>An undersized point guard with a sneaky tight handle. He is very competitive on defense and he can score. He can shoot it with mid-range pull-ups, he can hesitate and go by his defender and he will hit the three off the catch. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2956931' first='Donovan' last='Payne'] Middle School</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A rare non high school player who is actually only a seventh grader. He showed what he can be down the road. He is a great passer up the court and will shoot it from deep from the volleyball line. Look for him to one of the better Tucson guards in two years.</p>

<p><strong>Bryson West Frontier </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>An undersized guard can play on or off the ball. He will score it with off the dribble or catch threes with deep range beyond the arc. He is very confident and can go on his own runs. He is a good passer in traffic and up the court.</p>
