He made some slick passes to his teammates in stride but he is a downhill stud using his broader shoulders and quickness with the ball in his hands. He can hit the three off the catch and pull-up from mid-range.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2292818' first='O'mari' last='Gilbert'] <strong>JKP Academy Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A quickly growing power forward has real size and length for position. He uses his physical attributes to rebound, block shots and he will throw it down. He runs fluidly and he has the coordination to euro step and takes very few steps to dunk it easily including a poster dunk on a taller player. He may not be done growing and seems to get better monthly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2386958' first='Isaiah' last='Gill'] <strong>Marana Mountain View (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A quick on quick true point guard who was arguably the top on-ball defender at the entire camp. He has next level twitch, speed and quickness to pester his opponents up the court and pick their pockets. He will score with a quicker first step to the basket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2949469' first='Zane' last='Graham'] <strong>Paradise Valley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger wing is a true 3 and D type. He has college-like size already and he is a graceful mover from end to end. He is very athletic to throw it down on the break and he comes with deep three point range. He has a high arcing jumper with a quicker trigger and plays the passing lanes well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2466738' first='Dewey' last='Henry'] <strong>Elite Sports Academy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scoring point guard who makes it look easy in stretches. He has one of the purest shooting strokes at the camp with mid-range pull-ups and threes off the catch. He loves utilizing the pick and roll game to his advantage and will either fire away or dime his cutter in stride.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2503742' first='Madden' last='Hill'] <strong>Sequoia Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A very fast point guard has speed for days. He will simply outrace his opponents on the break and will throw it down way above the rim. He will score with lob dunks and he can hit the three off the catch. He is a very good rebounder and will cut off the ball to score.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3726262' first='Cooper' last='Lepou'] <strong>Sequoia Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A highly skilled bigger guard can slide over to either the PG or SG spot in a pinch. He plays the game from the neck up and will score it. He had one of the better shooting strokes at the camp from the three point line off the catch and can-pull-up, hesitate and get to the basket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2825307' first='Owen' last='Pope'] <strong>Notre Dame Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A hybrid forward who can play and defend a few positions. He has next level athleticism combined with good size for a wing. He will finish it effortlessly above the rim with rip thrus, dunks on the break, lobs, tip-ins in traffic and he can also shoot it from mid to the three point line. He also rebounds well in his area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2407205' first='Ja'Mir' last='Smith'] <strong>Chandler</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A high flying power forward is a natural rim runner and protects the paint. He gobbles up rebounds at its highest point and will challenge or block any player coming his way above the box. He will score it with mid-range jumpers, dunks and outracing his opponents up the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2362215' first='Nick' last='Zarate'] <strong>Sequoia Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A strong framed forward can play either spot up front. He will bang inside with his next level frame and finish above the rim but then step out and shoot the three off the catch or off three dribble. He rebounds the ball at a high clip, sets strong picks and runs the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
