Bash in the Desert: 9 All 17U Tournament Teams 

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I attended the annual Prep Hoops AZ <strong>Bash in the Desert</strong> at the Phhacility in Phx May 1-3. I viewed nearly every team in the 17U division and came up with these 9 all-17U Teams. These are NOT prospect rankings but how did the player perform when I watched them play the one or two games. The teams you played against mattered and your record combined with the players performance.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I will be writing about these players for the
