(Top-24 or Top-48 All-Star Game)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here is the 6th Team</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2947347' first='Braylon' last='Hartley'] <strong>Verrado</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger combo guard with athleticism, plus length and skill. He made the move to Verrado and he should be an immediate focal point. He will score with mid-range pull-ups off the dribble, downhill takes in traffic, he can dunk it on the break and off the dribble or catch threes. He is also a good on-ball defender. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2452472' first='Zechariah' last='Haslerig'] <strong>Centennial</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A real point guard is improving his game. He is a good passer in traffic with a nice IQ but can also score it fairly easily. He will shoot it with mid-range pull-ups, off the dribble threes and off the catch and he is getting more athletic as he ages. He will collect steals with his length and lateral quickness. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2552784' first='Emir' last='Konicanin'] <strong>Paradise Valley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A strong and highly skilled forward who can play either position up front. He will work from inside and out with threes off the catch, mid-range jumpers and then rip thru and score it in traffic with his sturdy frame and toughness in the paint. He rebounds well and can push it up the floor in a pinch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3318546' first='Brendon' last='Kurzawski'] <strong>ALA WF</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scoring point guard with a great feel for the game. He will find teammates in stride with some impressive timing over the two days. He is more of a natural scorer with threes off the catch, dribble drives in traffic, reverse layups, runners and mid-range pull-ups. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2534893' first='Blake' last='Lunt'] <strong>ALA WF</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another scoring point guard from the same high school team. He makes plays for his teammates but is more wired to score. He will rattle in three off the catch and can get hot quickly. He will take it to the basket with a decent first step and score with and-1's. He will collect steals or rebound off the glass and take it coast to coast. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3715508' first='TJ' last='Mitchell'] <strong>Sunnyslope (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long incoming freshmen made the top-48 all-star game. He is very shifty and gets to his spots he wants to be on the floor. He is very elusive and will score it with off the dribble moves with mid-range pull-ups and dribble drives to the basket. His length and quickness allows him to defend on the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2990514' first='Dreylon' last='O'Key'] <strong>AZ Compass Prep</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long and athletic wing forward with elite size. He has a nice shooting stroke from mid to the three point line and he is an incredible rebounder in and out of his area with a real motor and utilizing his physical tools. He runs the floor well, defends multiple positions and he will play above the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2396138' first='Rashad' last='Ortiz'] <strong>Palo Verde</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic scoring guard is growing a little and is one of the more athletic guards with some crazy hops in all of Tucson. He will score with threes off the catch, mid-range pull-ups and gets out on the break and will flush it down easily. He rebounds well and will score with put backs. A three sport standout with football, track and field and basketball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3625658' first='Jayden' last='Porter'] <strong>Centennial</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger true point guard who was arguably the most unselfish player in attendance. He is constantly surveying the scene and trying to find open teammates with advanced court vision and great timing on his passes. He will score with downhill takes and threes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2692801' first='Thomas' last='Sorenson'] <strong>Seton Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A good sized guard is a sneaky good passer and he has one of the best shooting strokes at the camp. He made the move to Seton Catholic from Basha and may be a 16-20 point scorer. He has deep three point range and will give a hard ball fake and score with reverse layups to the basket and will finish off layups in transition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
