West Mania/King of City All-Tourney 7th Team

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On Saturday March 28th I attended two club tournaments around the city with the&nbsp;<strong>Phenom Hoops West Mania&nbsp;</strong>at the Pyramid in Phx and the annual&nbsp;<strong>King of the City&nbsp;</strong>at the Phhacility in Phx.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I watched 11 games with 20 different teams on the long day and here were my Top-70 performers I viewed. These are not prospect rankings, but how did they do in the 1 or 2 games I viewed of them.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">7th Team</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3077190' first='Blake' last='Carapetian'] Pinnacle (Pictured) ([program_tooltip program_id='2076648' first='Peak' last='Basketball'] National 2029) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A skilled undersized point guard who can score it. He is deceptively quick and fast and will score with drive by's after a burst and will finish off some and-1's. He also likes the mid-range pull-up and has a good pace to his game. He has advanced court vision and brings energy to the court. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2640541' first='Jason' last='Clancy'] Liberty ([program_tooltip program_id='2120446' first='AZ' last='STORM'] 16) 22</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A power forward who probably has grown a couple inches since my last viewing of him. He uses his size to rebound in and out his area and will score with rip thrus towards the basket and fall aways. He runs the floor really well and has some springs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2295695' first='Matt' last='Crowder'] Casteel ([program_tooltip program_id='2076648' first='Peak' last='Basketball'] 2027 UA Rise) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A two-way scoring guard is a physical defensive guard with plus length and athleticism. He will keep his opponents in front of him and collects steals, deflections and cleans the glass better than most for a guard. He will score with drives and offensive rebounds. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2423061' first='King' last='Fields'] Paradise Valley ([program_tooltip program_id='2076648' first='Peak' last='Basketball'] 2027 National)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A true combo guard who plays on or off the ball. He has a nice shooting stroke from the perimeter and he is very crafty to the basket. He will find teammates but also scores with offensive rebound put backs, transition buckets and floaters.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2716510' first='Spencer' last='Goldberg'] Arcadia ([program_tooltip program_id='2867224' first='Phoenix' last='United'] EYCL 2028) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A cerebral wing forward who can play a few positions for the club team is smart, skilled and shows some toughness. He will hit the three off the catch and move the ball well to the open teammate. He will rebound in his area and get to his spots on the court to be most effective. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3574599' first='Emiliano' last='Hohl'] Undecided (Skilled Game Basketball 2030) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A cerebral point guard is one of those guards who knows how to play. He smartly plays off of the pick and roll game perfectly and will score with threes, pull-ups from mid-range and get downhill and score with and-1's in traffic after a burst. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3574605' first='Isaiah' last='King'] Basha (Skilled Game Basketball 2030) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A versatile all-around scoring guard with plus size already for his class. He scores it every way with threes off the catch, mid-range pull-ups off the dribble and layups in transition or he will get to the free throw line. He can defend a few positions and shows upside. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3574597' first='Damien' last='Rosalez'] Undecided (Skilled Game Basketball 2030)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Like the other seventh grader, Damien just knows how to play. He comes with a huge IQ and awareness for the game and has a tighter handle to manipulate the defense to get to the spots he wants. He will shoot the three off the catch or pull and finds teammates.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2548083' first='Austin' last='Starr'] Pinnacle ([program_tooltip program_id='2076648' first='Peak' last='Basketball'] 2028 UA Rise) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger scoring lead guard seems to grow at every viewing. He is pushing six-foot three and sees the court like a bigger point guard would with nice vision. He will score with pull-ups from mid to the three and has an easy stroke with range and a quicker trigger. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3574752' first='Kadare' last='Williams'] Undecided ([program_tooltip program_id='2076365' first='PAL' last='Elite'] 17) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A quicker point guard will be an incoming freshmen in the fall. He is competitive on defense to rebound and collect steals plus will facilitate with advanced court vision for his age. He will score with cuts off the ball, threes off the catch and offensive rebound put backs. He is potentially landing at Westview. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
