In this article, PH takes a look at the top shooters from the event.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="858168" first="Jalen" last="Cunningham"] <em>6’2 SG Simply Fundamental 2021 (#36PHN 2021)</em> - Cunningham shot the ball well during his high school season. He carried that hot shooting over into the tournament. His favorite spot was the corner, and he showed good lift and nice form on those baseline jumpers.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1016606" first="Xaviel" last="Rodriguez"] <em>6’3 SG Simply Fundamental 2024</em> - Rodriguez is a good looking young shooter. A lot of shooting is confidence, and he has that. In a limited number of attempts, Rodriguez shot a high percentage, showing the ability to knock down shots from behind the arc.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="927128" first="Coleman" last="Lemke"] <em>6’7 PF Simply Fundamental 2021 (#33PHN 2021)</em> - When Lemke has it going he’s a more than capable shooter. The stretch 4 sprayed shots from all areas off the floor from behind the arc. Because of his size, Lemke doesn’t need to get his shot off that quick, he has a high release point and good wrist snap on his follow through.</p> <p>Anthony Ledsma <em>5’9 PG Hustlers 2022</em> - Ledsma proved to be a floor spacing point during the weekend. He has a quick release, and shot it efficiently from behind the arc.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1014871" first="Marquise" last="Johnson"] <em>6’2 SG LV Aces 2022</em> - I’ll be honest, Johnson wasn’t the most consistent shooter on the weekend, but when he got hot he was lethal. He has good form, and gets good lift on his shot. Johnson knocked down jumpers not only from behind the arc but also from mid range.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="927151" first="Jo" last="Jo Garcia"] <em>6’1 PG Simply Fundamental 2021 (#65PHN 2021)</em> - It was a tremendous weekend for Garcia. In addition to playing the point, driving the lane and dishing, Garcia found time to knock down 3’s. Garcia was at his best in catch and shoot situations and was another lethal sniper on the SFBA squad.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="858173" first="Cimarron" last="Conriquez"] <em>5’11 SG Las Vegas Olympians 2021 (#50PHN 2021)</em> - One of the top shooters in the state showed why this weekend. It’s not textbook, but Conriquez has a consistent stroke and can’t be left open from behind the line.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://twitter.com/7outzbballclub1">Follow Prep Hoops Nevada</a></p>
