S7/NLI Newcomers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>June 12-14 I attended the prestigious&nbsp;<strong>Section-7</strong>&nbsp;located at the Arizona Athletic Grounds in Mesa and June 26-28 I attended the inaugural&nbsp;<strong>Nevada Live Invitational&nbsp;</strong>at the Las Vegas Basketball Center. They are two premier live periods for college coaches to evaluate the HS players to potentially receive offers.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We will go over multiple categories of the 112 players and start with </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">S7/NLI Newcomers</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3671769' first='Ruan' last='Kennedy'] Dream City Christian (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger facilitating PG or point forward type. He is an elite passer with pinpoint passes in the lane and incredible feel for the game with perfect lob passes. He is extremely strong and will get downhill in traffic plus fall away from his defender and shoot the three off the catch or pull. He is from Brazil. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3672710' first='Terrence' last='Richardson'] San Tan Charter&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long power forward moved in from Chicago and has a unique game. He is a very good passer with up the court ropes threading the needle and will drive and kick it. He will score with offensive rebound put backs and he is a quick second and third jumper. He also comes with athleticism and he can occasionally step out and shoot the three.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2812559' first='Amare' last='Chandler'] AZ Compass Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger shooting guard comes in off the bench and immediately produces. He will score with mid-range fall aways, rip thrus, threes off the catch and smartly plays off of two-feet. He is an unselfish passer and plays the right way. He should blow up next year if he stays the course.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3671762' first='Kaleb' last='Banefield'] Bella Vista Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A thicker framed scoring guard who rebounds well using his size and athleticism. He will score it with threes off the catch, fall aways from mid-range, he runs the floor for layups and will dunk it on the break. He can also defend a few positions with his size. He is from Canada.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3552963' first='Bradley' last='Mccurtain'] Central</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long and leaner scoring guard. The lefty will catch and shoot from the three point line, cut off the ball, spin move to the basket and he can play the passing lanes. He rebounds extremely well and can fall away from his defender from 10-feet. He came in from Chinle. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3681959' first='Ezekiel' last='Brereton'] Bella Vista Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A quick on quick real PG who comes with a super shifty handle and next level speed. He can handle ball pressure well and set the table and score it. He will burst to the basket with his speed plus shoot it with mid-range pull-ups.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2136339' first='Adryan' last='Miller'] Gilbert</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A newcomer for me is a power forward with some size. He comes with soft hands, skill and feel. He can score it down low and catch tough passes in traffic and sees the court well as an advanced passer for position. He came in from Minnesota.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3665788' first='Waad' last='Mojwok'] Dream City Christian</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long wing forward with elite size already is only 13 years old. He moves gracefully up the court and was playing some spot minutes and holding his own surprisingly well on the big stage. He can rip thru and get downhill and hit the three off the catch. He will also defend multiple positions and he looks to be one of the better rising 8th graders in AZ.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3671767' first='Josh' last='Jones'] Bella Vista Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A power forward who is an incredible athlete. He is a defensive stallwort. He closes out to shooters exceptionally well and moves super well in space. He is freaky athletic with dunks and tip-ins in bunches. He can defend the two-four and brings energy to the court. He often gets himself to the FT line. He is from Canada.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3671773' first='Juma' last='Wargu'] Bella Vista Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A true combo guard who can play on or off the ball. He is a very good passer who can thread the needle and will score with step thrus, dunks and mid-range jumpers. What truly stands out though is his long wingspan and quicker feet to defend. He collects steals in bunches and will block shots.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
