AOG: AZ Memorial Day Classic 1st Team

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>On Saturday May 23rd I watched 10 games with 12 different 17U teams and eight 16U teams.&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>I made 6 All-Tourney Teams for the teams I viewed</strong>.</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Here is the 1st Team</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3010992' first='Kristian' last='Davis'] Millennium ([program_tooltip program_id='2075793' first='Arizona' last='Select'] 17)&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A fluid quick scoring wing/guard who was one of the better shooters I viewed from the 2028 class. He is a catch and shoot dynamo and his range has extended out comfortably beyond the three point line. He loves the corners and can also get a step on his defender to the basket. He shows toughness and took charges. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2323611' first='Jerrance' last='Howard'] Perry ([program_tooltip program_id='2075793' first='Arizona' last='Select'] 17)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A very strong scoring PG who sees the court with perfect lobs, ropes up the court and plays smartly off of the pick and roll game. He scores it with deep threes, long euro steps, in and out dribbles and gets to his spots and will rise up from mid-range. He uses his frame to score with contact and he was my personal <strong>MVP</strong> that I viewed. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2339783' first='Robert' last='Morris IV'] Desert Vista (SMAC 17)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A fierce wing forward who is strong and tough. He will score with catch threes, downhill takes with tough contested layups and reverses and will dunk it powerfully on the break. He can euro step down the lane and gets to the free throw line. He is also a very good on-ball defender.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2332290' first='Amir' last='Kendrick'] Cesar Chavez (AZ Legacy Elite 17)&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger point guard who can thread the needle. What impresses you is his left hand is just as good as his right versus heavy pressure. He will score it with tough downhill takes with his burst and he can get hot quickly from the three point line.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2506549' first='Sebastian' last='Ondoua'] St. Mary's (Legacy Elite 16)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A hyper athletic scoring point guard makes it look easy in stretches. There are not many faster end to end then him in the class. He scores it every way with threes with range, blow by bursts with his yo-yo handle and will rip pockets and dunk it on the break.&nbsp;He was MVP for the 16U division. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2396185' first='Zathan' last='Ruffin'] NVCA (Swysh Den Select)&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long and athletic downhill wing who is a two-way player. The lefty takes long strides to get to the basket and will easily dunk it on the break. He scores thru the contact and he is a sneaky good passer. He rebounds the ball well and defends a few positions.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2427680' first='Conner' last='Tefteller'] Campo Verde (BC Hoops 17) (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A pure point guard was the best passer at the event. He throws players open with his next level court vision and precise timing. He makes live dribble passes look easy straight into his teammates shooting pockets. He rips pockets with his quick hands and the southpaw can score it. He has a quick triggered three and will pull-up off the dribble or use the floater plus handles contact on the break. His court vision single-handedly led them to victories.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
