With 355 players, there is bound to be some new talent that was eventually going to be discovered.   There were 39 new players and here are some of the standouts that are not top-10 for position but are very good players in their own right.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here are 8 newcomers from the last few months that are off the radar:</h2>   [player_tooltip player_id='1945207' first='Dominic' last='Rudd'] Paragon Prep   A shifty scoring lead guard who can play on or off the ball since he will make plays for his teammates with next level court vision and scores it easily. He is a three level scorer with threes off the catch, bursts in the lane with either hand using his speed and make pull-ups.   [player_tooltip player_id='2632440' first='Isaiah' last='Stevens'] Sabino   A bigger combo guard with nice size and skill. He can find teammates in stride with plus court vision and poise. He will score it with threes off the catch or pull and mid-range pull-ups. He can also slither in the lane with his handle to score in traffic.   [player_tooltip player_id='3134781' first='Karmello' last='Walker'] Trevor Browne (Pictured)   One of the tougher pound for pound forwards in the senior class is not well known but he plays hard on every possession. He can score it with tough contact drives plus hit the three off the catch. He rebounds in his area and plays aggressively all game long.   [player_tooltip player_id='2990157' first='Joseph' last='Thomas'] Buena   A scoring guard is a deadly knockdown shooter off the catch from the three point line. He will rattle them in one by one but he can also score it with floaters, runners and mid-range pull-ups. He can also find a teammate with drive and kicks.   [player_tooltip player_id='2990160' first='Jeremy' last='Booker'] Buena   A hyper athletic guard/wing flies on the break with way above the rim dunks and he can cover a lot of ground defending multiple positions. He will score with transition points, hit the three occasionally and dribble drive to the basket.   [player_tooltip player_id='2559485' first='Landon' last='Lazenby'] Cesar Chavez   A scoring lead guard can play on or off the ball comfortably. He puts a lot of pressure on the opposing teams with his speed in the court and he will attack the basket but he will also shoot it from the three point line. He is also a quick on-ball defender.   [player_tooltip player_id='2990134' first='Isaiah' last='Bright'] Salpointe Catholic   A power forward who plays the game with a high motor. He is a natural rebound chaser with his length and athleticism. He will corral the ball off the glass with two hands and he can alter or block shots in his area. He will score it around the hoop and occasionally hit the three.   [player_tooltip player_id='2990408' first='Bronson' last='Stringfellow'] Thatcher   He is kind of the definition of an off the radar prospect who can play. He plays for a smaller school almost three hours away from Phoenix and has decent size with a stronger frame. He can score it with threes off the catch or self-created shots from mid to the three. He also defends well in space and will rebound.
