He will defend multiple positions with his twitchy reflexes and he can cover a lot of ground. He can throw it down on the break and score getting downhill to the basket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2950406' first='Alex' last='Beck'] <strong>Mica Mountain</strong> +35</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A strong framed power forward is a little undersized but he is tougher than most he plays versus. He is a natural rebounder chaser who can play bigger then his size suggests. He will score it from inside and out with threes and inside buckets. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2315499' first='Haris' last='Heco'] <strong>Deer Valley </strong>+34</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A good sized power forward has made a leap up with his height and skill. He has soft hands and will score it effectively and efficiently around the basket. He controls the glass and will gobble up rebounds in and out of his area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2674271' first='Travis' last='Dean'] <strong>Maryvale </strong>+24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A face-up power forward with skill and a little size. He can score it from inside and out with threes off the catch and then off of the glass with offensive rebound put backs. He works well from elbow and in and can wall up and hold his ground on defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2884401' first='Thomas' last='Nanson'] <strong>Chaparral</strong> +17</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A stronger framed power forward with some girth. He can score it thru heavy traffic and contact inside the paint and he will often grab rebounds with his big motor and competitiveness. He provides some depth for the 5A Scottsdale team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2754862' first='Anthony' last='Stokes'] <strong>Canyon View</strong> +15</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A high motored wing forward who can play and defend multiple positions with his big motor. He is a capable perimeter shooter but has a knack for getting downhill with his burst and first step. He is also a stud in the open court and will play above the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2434650' first='Ashton' last='Havvard'] <strong>Dysart</strong> +12</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A unique point forward type who can also play and defend multiple positions. He is shooting the ball better and better from the three point line but will also get to the basket with his stronger frame. He is a fantastic passer with next level court vision and feel. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2320420' first='Blake' last='Roberts'] <strong>Basha</strong> +11</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another strong framed power forward is playing more and more without their starting big man not eligible yet. He has good size and strength to carve out space in the paint to score or rebound at a good clip. He has counter moves and soft hands. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
