S7/NLI SG Snipers

<!-- 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 move over to</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">S7/NLI&nbsp;<strong>SG Snipers</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2146239' first='Carsyn' last='Dean'] Verrado (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scoring guard is a bucket. He will score it with mid-range jumpers, deep triples and can slash the lane and finish of tough layups and dunks. He is a very good passer and uses his length and size to keep his defenders in front of him.    </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2956838' first='Jacob' last='Cuen'] St. Mary's&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The sophomore scoring guard is a catch and shoot three point sniper. He gets squared quickly and will let it fly in a blink of an eye. He has a deceptively quick burst to the basket to score and he is competitive on defense to rebound and even block shots.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1956217' first='PJ' last='Nowlin Jr'] Canyon View</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The bigger guard is one of the better non PG passers in the state. He often sucks in the defense and will find a teammate or shooter. He will also pass it perfectly up the court to a running teammate over the defenders arms. He will score with threes off the catch, middy pull-ups and he can get to his spots with his handle and will rise up. He can defend multiple positions and rebounds well. He picked up an offer from <strong>Embry Riddle</strong> in the process.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2194808' first='Carter' last='Bagley'] Sunnyslope</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scoring bigger guard with strength, skill and a big IQ. He has range on his threes and has a nasty mid-range pull-up. He will score with offensive rebound put backs and he can get hot from deep. He squares up quickly and lets it fly and he can take contact well in the paint with his frame.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2677143' first='Muhammad' last='Manigat'] Bella Vista Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long and taller scoring guard who moves well in space. He will hit the three off the catch and he can even pull-up from deep range. He gets plus lift on his mid-range pull-ups and will slither in the lane and jump stop and find a teammate. He uses his length and size to rebound and play the passing lanes.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2215387' first='Jahmai' last='Samuel-Maragh'] Bella Vista Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A strong framed scoring guard with high IQ and a lot of skill. He can play on or off the ball in pinch but is best off of it so he can shoot the three. He will rattle in triples one by one and comes with a quick trigger and huge confidence. He is also good on the ball defensively and can be 3 and D down the road.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2266385' first='Braylen' last='Gray'] Willow Canyon</strong><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A good sized scoring guard can fill it up with jab step threes and and pull ups from mid-range. The lefty shooter manages to get to the free throw line often with a deceptively quick first step to get downhill. He will collect steals and rebounds well.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2146268' first='Brock' last='Knee'] Arcadia&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top shooters in the senior class has an easy stroke from the three point line with a quicker trigger and real range. He will score it other ways with lob layups, cuts off the ball and put backs off the glass.&nbsp;He is due for a monster season in 4A. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
