<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>August 17th-18th Cedric Cobb Sr and I held the 9th annual&nbsp;<strong>Southwest Basketball Camp</strong>&nbsp;at the Phhacility in Phx, AZ.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>120 players came to gain exposure in front of college coaches and scouts plus compete versus some top end players over the two days.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Each player competed in 5 games for the two days plus 48 competed in an extra All-Star Game. (Top-24 or Top-48 All-Star Game)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here is the 3rd Team</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2146267' first='Micah' last='Andrews'] <strong>Deer Valley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic undersized point guard has some standout qualities. He will blow by his defenders to the basket, shoot it with mid-range pull-ups and threes in the corner but his passing and on-ball defense stands out. He collects steals in bunches with next level lateral quickness and makes pinpoint passes, including perfect lob darts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2689934' first='Braden' last='Baldwin'] <strong>Arcadia (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A stronger framed scoring guard with some size keeps improving it seems by the month. He really is finding his stride as a player and he can score it and board. He will score with mid-range pull-ups, threes off the catch and get downhill in traffic. He leaps up high to rebound unusually well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2574815' first='Garrison' last='Bambolo'] <strong>Willow Canyon</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger forward who can play both spots up front. He seems to be finding his groove as he is heading into his senior season. He will score it with threes off the dribble or catch, getting downhill and he is getting more athletic to dunk it easily on the break. He plays like a wing but has the size to play a small-ball four. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2337274' first='Brig' last='Bowden'] <strong>Mesa</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A highly skilled post player will score it multiple ways. He will fall away from his post defenders, offensive rebound put backs, score with hook shots with a soft touch, shoot it from mid-range and he can hit the three. He is a good outlet passer and he will block shots and he rebounds everything in his area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2509576' first='Heaven' last='Chea'] <strong>Sequoia Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A pure point guard with some size is a really good passer. He had a few needle threaders ripping thru the defense with some drive and kicks and lobs. He has next level speed with the ball in his hands and will get down the lane and touch the paint to make a play or score it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3010992' first='Kristian' last='Davis'] <strong>Millennium</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger scoring guard with some skill, length and bounce. He had one of the better looking shooting strokes at the camp from the three point line and comes with a quicker trigger. He can also throw it down surprisingly well on the break (had a poster dunk). He is one of those who sees the first go down, he will keep shooting it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3457363' first='Jacob' last='Jensen'] Willow Canyon</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A hyper athletic and strong wing forward with size and skill. He can shoot it from the perimeter from both levels, gets downhill with tough takes in traffic with some grown-man and-1's and dunk it easily with either hand. He is a sneaky good passer and will rebound and collect steals. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2947346' first='Giovanni' last='Nielsen'] <strong>Deer Valley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger guard or wing was one of the day one top performers and continued his strong play on day-2. He has incredible versatility to play multiple spots on the floor and defend them. He rebounds well and his perimeter shooting has improved from the three point line. He still runs the floor and scores it easily in transition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2759167' first='Taylan' last='Owens'] <strong>Canyon View</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A gifted point guard who can score it and facilitate. He has advanced court vision and next level feel. He will score from all levels with fade aways, threes, alley-oop dunks, post ups and is very smooth with the ball getting to his spots he wants. He collects steals by playing the passing lanes and will throw it down on the break. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3669947' first='Jordan' last='Weeks'] <strong>Elite Sports Academy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A big post player with soft hands, real girth and some serious strength. He moves his opponents with his weight and strength. He has massive hands to catch some tough passes and will score it effectively around the basket. He can use the pick and roll action and will handle it a little. He rebounds everything in his area and will score with put backs and block shots. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
