He makes passes down the court on a rope. He changes speeds really well to get downhill or get the defender off of him to create separation and his mid-range pull-up is clean. He loves using the floater game and he is very quick on the ball defensively with length and will close out to block shots. Stock way up!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1591738' first='Jeehzus' last='Pagan'] AZ Compass Prep&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scoring point guard who can score with quick bursts into the lane, fall aways in the post, mid-range pull-ups and hit the three. He makes smart reads up the court or will drive and kick it. He is also quick on the ball defensively and brings toughness to the court.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2109028' first='Malachi' last='Kaffey'] AZ Compass Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A pure point guard with some size who will drive and kick to a shooter and makes perfect lob passes. He is always keeping his head up making the extra pass. He is quick to get downhill with his right hand and he will rattle in threes with a quick trigger and range.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2686424' first='David' last='Zimmerman'] Paragon Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An undersized real PG with a big IQ. He will make impressive passes up the court on a rope and drive and kick it and many live dribble passes per game. He will score with put backs on the glass and knows how to change speeds. He is also very crafty to make tough layups inside.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1834650' first='Jelani' last='McKoy'] Bella Vista Prep&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 3 and D type is a combo guard. He will drive and kick it and sees the court better then he did a year ago. The lefty is a good rebounder out of his area and plays smartly off of the pick and roll game and he has a sharp mid-range pull-up. He scores with euro steps down the lane and he handles the contact. He will also hit the three.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2561163' first='Semaj' last='Cuyler'] Bella Vista Prep&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger combo guard can play on or off the ball seamlessly. He will crossover into mid-range pull-up and hit the three. He is a very good passer in the half court or on the break. He also moves well in space to defend and is tough on the ball.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
