<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>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>We finish it off with the 8th Team</strong></h2>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2759169' first='Kha'leal' last='Brown'] Skyline Prep</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A tough scoring lead guard who can make plays but he gets in the game looking to put points on the board. He will get to the basket with spin moves into layups and tough downhill takes with a burst of speed. He will hit the three and will defend with some quickness laterally. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2552745' first='Jensen' last='Carter Grayson'] Skyline Prep</strong></p>

<p>A scoring combo guard will drive and kick it to a teammate and scores it easily. He is very elusive to the basket with a nice burst of speed and will score with and-1's in traffic. He can hit the three off the catch and has quicker feet and will collect steals and lay it in on the other end. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2842403' first='Malik' last='Frazier'] Gilbert</strong></p>

<p>A shifty ball handler is a scoring point guard but showed off the ability to make some needle threaders off of live dribble passes in transition impressively with either hand. He will score with mid-range jumpers and he knows how to change speeds and then get to the basket. He is best when he is playing fast on the break. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2808486' first='Cannon' last='Henderson'] Williams Field</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A scoring defensive guard can play on or off the ball. He seems to always be in the passing lanes and collects steals in bunches plus rebound and even block shots. He put points on the board with pull-up threes, run out layups and step thrus in the lane. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2466738' first='Dewey' last='Henry'] Elite Sports Academy</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A scoring point guard who can play either guard spot with his advanced skill level. He will drive and kick it and made some tight window passes for assists. He is a tough cover with a tough mid-range pull-up with plus elevation, deep threes getting squared quickly and he rebounds well for his size. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3773110' first='Alijah' last='Johnson'] Goliath Christian Academy</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A bigger scoring defensive guard is hyper athletic on the break and will play way above the rim. He will rebound and block shots and the southpaw can shoot it with threes off the catch and mid-range jumpers. The younger brother of Pelicans AJ Johnson is just scratching the surface. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2552725' first='Dominic' last='Lampe'] Gilbert (Pictured)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A fluid mover is back. He missed a lot of basketball and is looking to get back in the flow of things this season. He is a fluid mover and will move well from end to end. He will rip thru with either hand, run the floor for layups and face up and shoot it from the perimeter with some success. The stronger he gets, he could take off. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='3772623' first='Dustyn' last='McIntire']<strong> Goliath Christian Academy </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p>A newcomer is a big man who is starting to figure it out. He has gotten better in the few games I viewed of him. He will use drop steps using his size and his elbows to create some space, dunk it as a very quick leaper and rebound and block shots easily. His size bothers his opponents to score. </p>
