PHX is Rising Queen and King of the Rock : Standouts Part 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The weekend of May 16-17 I was able to attend a local tournament in Avondale Arizona to find underrated talent that often gets looked over. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I believe every player deserves a chance to be seen and get the opportunity to gain recognition and exposure. Not every player has the resources to play on the biggest platform so I took it upon my self to seek them out and give them a chance to shine.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Incased you missed it check out my Best of April Standouts Glass Cleaners and Go-To Scorers:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prephoops.com/2026/05/aarons-best-of-april-standouts-glass-cleaners/" id="https://prephoops.com/2026/05/aarons-best-of-april-standouts-glass-cleaners/">Aaron's Best of April Standouts : Glass Cleaners</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prephoops.com/2026/05/aarons-best-of-april-standouts-go-to-scorers/" id="https://prephoops.com/2026/05/aarons-best-of-april-standouts-go-to-scorers/">Aaron's Best of April Standouts&nbsp;: Go-To Scorers</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3416167"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a1376e929092"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mahmoud is a strong built wing that can score from multiple spots on the floor. He would use his strength to get to the bucket and finish through contact. He also has a solid handle and would use his footwork to get to the midrange area for easy buckets on the baseline or elbow. Mahmound has a nice looking shot from deep and drained a couple off the catch. later in the game he even hit a deep three off the dribble. He had 16pts and 14pts from both games I seem him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2907689"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3650273,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a138c94a1da2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Benjamin is a crafty guard with a knack for scoring. He uses his IQ to get defenders out of position and get to the bucket. He will finish high off the glass and even trough contact for and 1's. He moves well off ball and will spot up for open three's. He can extend his range a couple feet off the three point line and uses that to get defenders in the air off of pump fakes. He hit tough shots down the stretch for his squad and made a real impact on the outcome of the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2849553"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a138c94a1e0f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mikel is a big time athlete that has taken his game to the next level. He was the most impressive player I seen all weekend and looked a step ahead of everyone else. He would hit a different gear and get to the rim with ease and finish with an acrobatic layup. He is a next level athlete and takes advantage of it. He finishes in the lane extremely well and keeps the ball away from defenders. He is at his best on the fast break and even had a nasty poster slam.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":3650263,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Gilbert Davis","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2030","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Willow Canyon","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"WBA","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a138c94a1ec4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gilbert is a young and long wing with some potential to become special. He uses his length to disrupt passing lanes by tipping or stealing passes. He is a plus rebounder and often pulls down rebounds and starts the fast break. He has a smooth looking stroke and has the ability to stretch the floor. He even created his own shot a couple of times and showed flashes of being a scorer. He had a nasty dribble move to a midrange jumper in the lane and looked smooth while doing it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Rasheed Oliver","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2030","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"La Joya","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"PHX Soilders","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a138c94a1f65"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rasheed is a good size wing that can already score at the varsity level. He is playing up and looked like he belong the whole time. He gets most of his points from the paint and midrange area. He has a solid handle and can get down hill to finish by the rim or hit a nice floater in the lane. He isn't afraid to get physical in the paint and grab rebounds for second chance points. He oozes potential with his space creation and will hit the midrange jumpers in the face of defenders. He is a 2030 to keep and eye out for.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3642150"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3650280,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a138c94a1fcc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Quinn is the definition of hard worker. He constantly gets offensive rebounds and battles in the paint to get his team second chance points. He will dive for lose balls and seems to have an amazing motor for doing the small things. He has a nice shot from the three and hit multiple on the night. He would spot up and make him self available for kickouts. Quinn would use his size and physicality to finish in the lane through contact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
