Pangos All-West Fr/So AZ Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Saturday and Sunday September 20-21 I attended the annual Pangos All-West Frosh/Soph Camp at McBride HS in Cali. There were 16 teams of about 8 per team with officially 129 players in attendance. We had almost 10 players from the state attend and here were the </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">AZ Standouts </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2639549' first='Mamadou' last='Issa Sow'] Bella Vista Prep (Pictured left) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The freshman had a great showing and was named <strong>Top-30 MVP</strong>. He rebounds and runs the floor and will score from all three levels. He scores with hook shots, uses a ball fake with 1-dribble and dunks it, offensive rebound put backs, rip thrus, alley-oops with power and even shoots a jab step three. He is a sneaky good passer out of the double team and in the open floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2432574' first='Terrance' last='Byrd'] Sandra Day O'Connor</strong> <strong>(Pictured right) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another top-5 performer from start to finish was Byrd. He showed his whole arsenal with crossovers into a runner or poster dunks with his left, he will take it coast to coast after a block, he can post up and go to work, dribble drive into a floater and hit the three off the catch. He scores many tough layups using his next level body control and athleticism. He also has great timing on his blocks and scores with put backs playing with an edge.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2574808' first='Ruach' last='Gony'] Bella Vista Prep </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long defensive minded power forward moves fluidly like a wing and he was arguably the best defender in space and to block shots. He scores it with mid-range jumpers, euros, downhill drives,&nbsp; tip dunks way above the rim and he will hit the occasional three. He is a sneaky good passer and he will be a defensive player first.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2553594' first='Aguer' last='Kuir'] Bella Vista Prep </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another long defensive power forward with good instincts. He is great in space and seems to live off the glass as a top-end rebounder in and out of his area. He scores with dunks, downhill drives, swooping layups and put backs. His motor and high energy affect the outcomes of games.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2970193' first='Atem' last='Ringador'] Bella Vista Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A fluid wing forward with a little size. He can score it from the perimeter with mid-range jumpers and catch threes. He uses his longer strides to get to the rim and the lefty can score with a tough layup package using his size and length. He rebounds well and can push it up the court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2970180' first='Dawoud' last='Manigat'] Bella Vista Prep </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long G/W is very unselfish. He moves the ball like you should and the southpaw almost over passes to make plays to his teammates with that unselfish nature. He can score it with the floater game and he is a more then capable perimeter shooter from the three point line. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2561163' first='Semaj' last='Cuyler'] Bella Vista Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger combo lead guard can score it from mid-range and in. He has a tighter handle and will get downhill using his body and can handle contact. He has a quick first step and and he can score with fall aways and mid-range J's. He hustles on defense and he is a quick second jumper.  </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 wing freshman forward can score it a variety of ways with offensive rebound put backs, and-1's thru contact, downhill with a nice handle, mid-range jumpers and finger rolls. The lefty has a nice handle to create the separation. He is also a sneaky good passer for his position. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2970234' first='Brad' last='Pitt'] Bella Vista Prep </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A good sized combo guard is a talented eighth grader who challenged himself versus some top freshmen and sophomores and held his own. He scores with downhill drives in traffic and runs well in transition. He is a good passer with court vision and rebounds well for a guard. He is the younger brother of stud 2025 prospect Jaion Pitt. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2970198' first='William' last='Boparai'] Bella Vista Prep </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A very tall post player is a face-up type. The big man runs the floor well and he is a fluid mover who rebounds well in his area. He is a three point shooter off the catch and shows some upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
