2027’s Trending Up

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we start the playoffs and AIA Regular season concluded I wanted to take a look at some players that are trending up!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">We move over to the 8 Juniors Trending Up</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2337276' first='Brig' last='Standage'] <strong>Mesa Mountain View (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger scoring guard keeps improving every season. He has grown a little in the last year and his natural athleticism has picked up a notch. He will throw it down now above the rim and he shoots the cover off the ball off the catch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1555181' first='Adrian' last='Higuera'] <strong>Millennium</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A quick scoring point guard can set the table for his teammates but likes to score the ball. He has a super polished mid-range jumper that he loves to utilize but he can also shoot the three. He is very fast in transition and will score it high off the glass to not be blocked. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2754862' first='Anthony' last='Stokes'] <strong>Canyon View</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A high motored wing forward is steadily improving his skill but his effort is always on ten every play. He grabs rebounds in and out of his area and he is great in transition with tough layup attempts and dunks. He also now is hitting the three with more consistency.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2767184' first='Tahli' last='El-Amin'] <strong>Chandler</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bench player comes in and shows you that he is looking to run the team. He has next level court vision and feel to make a play. He sees it quickly and throws the dime. He can also score it with perimeter jumpers from mid to the three and is quick to the basket. His bounce is also coming in. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2885162' first='Jacob' last='Vasiloff'] <strong>Rancho Solano Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A highly skilled forward can play the three or four for his team. He is probably more of a natural wing and comes with some toughness and skill. He shoots the three off the catch and will rattle them in. He can pull-up off the dribble and score it inside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2759091' first='Calvin' last='McCrory'] <strong>Valley Christian</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A southpaw is a combo guard who can play on or off the ball. The Horizon Honors transfer is skilled and cerebral and fits right in. He will shoot the three with some range mostly off the catch but he can also pull-up off the dribble plus make a play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2330556' first='Noah' last='Garven'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2146280' first='Taj' last='Deloney'] <strong>Mesquite</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The junior guard duo has both been playing well. Garven scores it every way possible with real skill from both perimeter levels and comes with size. Deloney is one of the top facilitators and overall defenders for the position. He has next level speed and he can also score it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
