He flies gracefully in the air and competes at a high level on the defensive end. He likes attacking the basket with his tighter handle and will score it thru contact. He can hit perimeter jumpers but prefers to go downhill. He plays way above the rim on the break. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1239570' first='Khalil' last='O'Bannon'] <strong>Tucson </strong>+73</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A super long and lean defensive guard. The lefty is another attacker to the rim and defends the 1-3. He has impressive lateral quickness and comes with a lot of speed and is graceful. He is a quick second jumper to rebound or block shots plus will collect many steals per game. Most of his points are closest to the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='937194' first='Conner' last='Ivy'] <strong>Brophy Prep</strong> +66</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long forward wing forward covers a lot of ground on both ends of the floor. He will defend the 2-5 but is probably best defending the 3-4 next level. The lefty takes long strides and has slowly filled in and become stronger to handle the paint pounding. He can shoot it from elbow and in and flush it down. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1202070' first='David' last='Jackson Jr'] <strong>NFL YET</strong> +53</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A physical wing forward is a plus athlete and defender. He rebounds well for his size and is a 15-feet and in type of player for the most part. He can hit the three but likes the pull-up and driving. He actually averaged 28 ppg and 7.6 rebounds. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1196527' first='Ivory' last='Washington'] <strong>Coconino</strong> +50</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic lead guard who can facilitate plus score it. He easily gets downhill with his thicker build and can shoot the three. He went from 8.8 ppg to 16.9 ppg and had some big games along the way including 26 points versus ACP and went 10-13 FG with 2 3's made and 4 steals. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='827032' first='Tyreek' last='Dean'] <strong>Taylor Made Prep</strong> +45</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A thicker wing forward who flies on the break. He loves attacking the basket with his barrel chest and broad shoulders. He seems to seek the contact and can take it off the glass and go coast to coast or make a play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1132004' first='Davis' last='Hester'] <strong>Liberty</strong> +41</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top sharp shooters of the senior class. He hit 67 3's while going 40% from the arc, 89% from the line and 46% from the field. He is easily one of the states overall top shooters. He is quick and can create some separation but likes to catch and shoot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1230562' first='Albrandon' last='Byjoe'] <strong>Monument Valley </strong>+37</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Native American team, the darling of the 3A playoffs was led by Albrandon. He scored 40 points in an upset win for the talented Coolidge team. The scoring guard can shoot it from mid to the three point line and get hot quickly. He backed it up recently as the MVP of the Northern Arizona event run by Arizona Preps. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1441988' first='Raymond' last='Johnson'] <strong>Central</strong> +32</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pound for pound he may be the #1 rebounder in the entire AIA. His will and determination to want to grab the ball is off the charts. His motor never stops working and he will score it on elbow jumpers and put backs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1216716' first='Harrison' last='Reede'] <strong>Phhoenix Prep</strong> +28</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Arguably the best shooter in the state. Hester and him would be fun to watch them do a 3pt contest. He is best as a catch three point shooter but where he made the most progress is his ability to side step or step back or take 1-2 dribbles to create himself an open shot and launch it. He needs very little space and time to release it and has that super quick trigger. He signed with <strong>St. John's</strong> to space the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='831125' first='Masai' last='Dean Jr'] <strong>Cholla</strong> +22</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The coach's son put together another great year up in Tucson and it didn't go unnoticed.
