<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2140875' first='Demarcus' last='Henry'] AZ Compass Prep (Pictured)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A very tall wing forward is an elite on-ball defender using his next level lateral quickness with his size and length. He will score it from all three levels with long swooping strides to the basket, three off the catch and handles it well to create his own offense. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2435389' first='Justin' last='Johnson'] AZ Compass Prep Grind </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the top athletic forwards in the class has some serious springs to rebound and play and defend multiple positions. He gets out in the break better than most and will rip thru, hit the three and pull-up from mid. He rebounds out of area and will block a shot. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2194805' first='Marquice' last='Pless'] Higley </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A versatile wing forward does a little bit of everything. He is a multiple positional defender and collects steals, rebounds out of area and he is a very good on-ball defender. He will score with transition layups, downhill takes with counter moves and threes off of the catch or pull. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2039513' first='DJ' last='Spencer'] Millennium </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A high motored forward who keeps improving his skills. He will score with threes off the catch, downhill takes thru contact, offensive rebound put backs and from mid-range. He will dive on the floor for a loose ball and block shots out of his area plus collect steals. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1612509' first='Jalen' last='White'] Bella Vista Prep </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A high level athletic wing forward flies on the break. He will dunk off off two feet and throw it down way above the rim as a top-150 ranked player type of talent. He also scores it tough mid-range fall aways and catch threes. He rebounds well in his area and will block shots. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2961012' first='Nathan' last='Yambayamba'] Bella Vista Prep </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A versatile wing forward is a point forward type with an unselfish nature who consistently makes plays for teammates. He can shoot it from the perimeter and shoot it with fall aways but is best getting downhill and uses the euro step to his advantage.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2574810' first='Wor' last='Wor'] Bella Vista Prep</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A long and versatile forward can take ball off the glass and push it up the court. He is very fluid and will defend multiple positions. He will score with the catch three plus dunks it easily with great length and size. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2853933' first='Trey' last='McClure'] Chandler</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A tough wing forward plays really hard defending inside and out. He moves his feet, hustles and makes it difficult to score on him. He is a great rebounder in his area and will score getting downhill and fights for everything. </p>
