AOG: AZ Memorial Day Classic 5th 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 5th Team</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3649364' first='Carson' last='Call'] Campo Verde (BC Hoops 17)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A newcomer for me is a skilled scoring guard who will score it a variety of ways. He will put points up with threes off the catch with a nice looking stroke, smartly cutting off the ball, offensive rebound put backs and quick bursts to the basket with a nice handle. He also has quicker feet on the ball defensively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2291971' first='Jackson' last='Gillard'] Campo Verde (BC Hoops 17)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A top notch rebounding shooting guard plays with a great motor to clean the glass. He will score with a quick release on his three point shooting and has plus body control in the lane. He will throw passes up the court and drive and kicks it well and he is a good passer off of the pick and roll game and in transition. He plays the passing lanes to collect steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2735456' first='David' last='Kinsey'] Paradise Valley (SW Rebels 17)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A point guard who handles the ball well and will throw passes up the court. He plays smartly off of a ball screen and will drive and kick it straight into a shooting pocket. He will make live dribble passes and plays the game the right way. He will also score it with perimeter jumpers and dribble drives.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2412234' first='Landri' last='Pinckney'] La Joya (AZ Legacy Elite 17)&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An active guard who can play on or off the ball. He handles it fluidly and can break heavy ball pressure. He will score it with mid-range pull-ups off the dribble and has a very quick first step to get to the basket. He will collect steals which typically leads to layups on the other end. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3649362' first='Luke' last='Prusse'] Campo Verde (BC Hoops 17)&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An undecided scoring shooting guard brings skill and awareness to the court. He will score with super high arcing threes off the catch with a quicker release. He seems to like the corners and moves around off the ball to get open. He can also score inside with floaters and will collect steals with his stronger hands.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3649368' first='Michael' last='Sorenson'] Phhoenix Prep (AZ Legacy Elite 17)&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scoring guard is a newcomer for me. He will score with perimeter jumpers from mid-range and occasionally threes and uses a burst of speed with his handle to blow by defenders and score it with and-1 takes. He brings some energy to the court with some speed and length.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2749319' first='Luke' last='Zarob'] St. Mary's (AZ Legacy 3SGB 16) (Pictured)&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A face-up power forward who can play from inside and out. He can step out and hit the three comfortably plus work inside with advanced post footwork. He has soft hands and can catch tough passes in his area and finish around the hoop with his footwork. With a lot of seniors graduating, he may get his shot on varsity this season.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
