<p>The AIA season will now start Monday January 18th with most of the first games on Tuesday Jan 19th.</p>
<p>So we take a look at some of the top players in every conference. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We now move over to the 4A SG’s. Many of these top SG's can play the PG position as well. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here are some of the top ones that will impact their teams:</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="703850" first="Wyatt" last="Bell"]<strong> (Paradise Honors) </strong></p>
<p>-The Air Force commit is a natural shooter off the catch and capable off the dribble. He compliments [player_tooltip player_id="885820" first="Jalen" last="Scott"] and [player_tooltip player_id="827004" first="Blessing" last="Nwotite"] giving them more space to work. He can be a secondary ball handler and will be critical versus the top teams they play. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="932362" first="Amarei" last="Hunter"] <strong>(Desert Edge) </strong></p>
<p>-An <a href="https://twitter.com/AmareiiHunterr/status/1350497926263369729">athletic guard</a> gets downhill well and has improved his jumper every year. He can defend multiple positions on the floor and scores it from inside out giving his team that extra piece to score it. His catch-3 could be a weapon for the Scorpions this year. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="809700" first="Jahon" last="Lethridge"]<strong> (Thunderbird)</strong></p>
<p>-A physical guard can play on or off the ball. He is very good taking the ball to the basket scoring it through contact with his stronger frame plus can shoot it. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="827004" first="Blessing" last="Nwotite"]<strong> (Paradise Honors) (Pictured) </strong></p>
<p>-One of the top defensive guards in the AIA. His lateral quickness, awareness and athleticism make him able to lock up his opponents. On offensive he is a star in transition with the best of them plus hit perimeter jumpers. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="827035" first="Shamar" last="Moore"]<strong> (Peoria)</strong></p>
<p>-A quickly improving junior had a very good off season. He got stronger and improved his shooting plus athleticism. He can take if off the bounce plus shoot it off the catch. He can defend a couple positions as well. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="827026" first="Marcus" last="Coleman"]<strong> (Pueblo) </strong></p>
<p>-An attacking high-motored combo guard scores it in the paint with a nice floater and absorbs contact. He can play on or off the ball and make plays for his teammates. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="814508" first="Andrew" last="Camacho"]<strong> (Peoria)</strong></p>
<p>-The lone soph on the list is one of the top shooters in 4A. He avg 15 ppg while shooting an eye-popping 61% from the field, 40% from the 3pt line and 91% from the FT line making the 50/40/90 club look easy. He also happens to be a good defender while being a state leader in charges. </p>
