NSPA PG/CG Standouts 

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On March 2nd and 3rd I attended the annual&nbsp;<strong>National Scholastic Prep Association tournament</strong>&nbsp;at the Phhacility. 12 teams battled it out for the playoffs from around the world and competed with Canada, Iowa, Utah, New Mexico and of course Arizona. Three Arizona teams actually made the Final-4 with PHH Prep and the 2 BVP teams.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here were the Point Guard and Combo Guard Standouts</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1909885' first='Zion' last='Wilkins'] Hillcrest Prep (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A defensive point guard who plays with good pace and advanced court vision with up the court ropes and he is a live dribble passer who finds players in transition and in the half court set. He scores it with mid-range jumpers, which is definitely his sweet spot, and tough and-1's in traffic. He is also quick on the ball.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2855887' first='Wisdom' last='Fode'] Bella Vista Prep Supreme</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A physical two-way guard who plays on or off the ball. He is stronger then most players out there with a true college frame already. He is an unreal defender using his lateral quickness and strength. He is a good passer but wants to score with mid-range jumpers, downhill drives an occasional threes.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2960993' first='Dalen' last='Felder'] PHH Prep&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top scorers in the NSPA. He makes it look easy with tough downhill takes with contact using his sturdy frame but he is super polished with mid-range pull-ups and threes off the catch or pull. He is a good passer, he plays hard and his IQ is off the charts.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2245786' first='Caden' last='Jackson'] Hillcrest Prep&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic scoring lead guard who can play on or off the ball. He is a monster athlete with incredible dunks on the break and he gets to his spots to fill it up. He will score with step back and pull-up threes in bunches. He is also a sneaky good passer.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1333653' first='Christopher' last='Brookins'] Bella Vista Prep Supreme</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A pure point with next level speed and the ball is clearly on a string for him.

He will score with threes off the catch and quick drives to the basket.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2171184' first='Gage' last='Bartlett'] Bella Vista Prep Supreme</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A highly skilled scoring guard plays on or off the ball. He will pour in points with polished mid-range pull-ups, deep threes off the catch or pull and he is super crafty with some toughness.

He can make some plays but is more of a natural scorer. He is extremely athletic and he will slash to the basket with decent size but he can shoot it.
