<p>There were nearly 60 players with six teams and I now go over all six teams. We move over to the</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5th Team</h2>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3702614' first='Elie' last='Iranzi'] Sierra Linda (Pictured)</strong></p>

<p>An undersized scoring point guard can fill it up. He will shoot it with threes off the catch with a nice looking repeated stroke, pull-up from mid-range and will smartly change speeds and then burst into the lane and score with step thrus or floaters. He will also cash in with put backs off the glass. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2641723' first='Xander' last='Mitchell'] Sandra Day O'Connor</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A strong wing forward who can play some on the ball in a pinch. He is a nice inside and out threat with shooting the three off the catch or from mid-range. He can get to the basket and score with tough takes, offensive rebound put backs and hook shots. He is also an unselfish passer. He simply plays harder than most. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3225711' first='Daniel' last='Molina'] Bella Vista Prep</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A fluid power forward comes with some length and a little size. He is a long strider to get to the basket and will step thru and finish versus taller players. He can grab and go with taking the ball off the glass and pushing it up the court and taking it coast to coast. He will collect steals and rebounds well in his area. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3781387' first='Sebastian' last='Orozco'] Independence</strong></p>

<p>A true combo guard is a very cerebral player to make plays, move the ball and find teammates. He is more wired to score with threes off the catch, floaters down the lane and can take some contact after he gets downhill. He may turn into a shooting specialist after HS. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2626453' first='Derrick' last='Simpson'] Sequoia Pathfinder</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A newcomer for me is a very quick point guard who makes players around him better. He loves playing fast with his tighter handle and quickness and will score in transition with and-1's, hit the three off the catch and defends his position with his quick hands and feet. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3226217' first='Julian' last='Villa'] Sunnyslope</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A highly skilled point guard who can score and make plays. He will throw up the court ropes and will drive and kick it. He will fill it up with bursts in the lane getting downhill and he can rattle in threes off the catch or pull-up from mid-range to the three. A very cerebral player. </p>
