<p>I attended the annual <strong>AZ Compass Prep Fall League </strong>on three different days watching 15 games over those days. These teams are a combination of teams success and how they played when I viewed them. The players on teams that went undefeated or only loss 1 or 2 games are obviously placed a little higher. (Always some exceptions to the rules). As always these are <strong>NOT </strong>player rankings. Also some only played 1 game so many be lower down compared to some others who played for their team every game. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2767184' first='Tahli' last='El-Amin'] Chandler </strong></p>

<p>An athletic defensive point guard who can handle heavy ball pressure, make plays for his teammates and score. He has a tough mid-range jumper he often uses, he gets to the basket with a burst of speed and he flies on the break. He is a multi-sport athlete who plays with some toughness. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2295695' first='Matt' last='Crowder'] AZ Compass Prep Grind</strong></p>

<p>A bigger scoring guard is a defensive type with plus length, toughness and quicker feet. He rebounds the ball and will defend multiple positions. He will score with downhill drives and handles contact with some and-1's in the lane. He will hit the three off the catch and the Casteel transfer is a perfect glue guy to any team. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3166010' first='Bray' last='Gray'] JKP Prep Academy</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A scoring lead guard can slide over to the point guard position or off guard spot. He is a smart passer who can thread the needle in traffic. He will score with quicker bursts of speed to get to the basket and he can get his shot off from the three point line with an easy stroke. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2435268' first='Christian' last='Mcfadgon'] Elite Sports Academy </strong></p>

<p>A bigger guard made the move from Texas to AZ. He can defend a few positions with his length and twitch and score it a few ways. He will get downhill and use floaters, he will go baseline with a burst past his initial defender, score with offensive rebound put backs and hit the catch three. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3772628' first='Naoto' last='Hauet'] Elite Sports Academy</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A newcomer for me is a decent sized combo guard with a cerebral game and a ton of skill. He will ball fake and shoot it with mid-range jumpers, off the dribble threes, and plays with a good pace to his game. He rebounds well and gets to the free throw line often. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2916103' first='Amari' last='O'Neal'] Phhoenix Prep </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A bigger wing forward with a nice motor and some vertical pop. He will score with rip thrus to the basket, he is a plus rebounder in and out of his area keeping plays alive, he smartly cuts off the ball to the cup and he will hit the corner three. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3765812' first='Noah' last='Shank'] Skyline Prep (Pictured)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A good sized power forward is an inside and out threat. The newcomer will score inside with hook shots, spin moves to the basket, drop steps, offensive rebound put backs using his size and will step out and shoot it with threes off the catch and mid-range jumpers. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3669947' first='Jordan' last='Weeks'] Elite Sports Academy </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A heavy set true post players with very soft hands and big mitts is light on his toes. He will score with contact layups. offensive rebound put backs, up and unders and he will create his own offense with a nice handle. He is a very good rebounder with good positioning and he boxes out his opponents better then most. </p>
