<p>I watched every team play once and this is how they performed when they were on the main court. We start breaking down the All-EXPO teams one by one.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here is the 7th Team breakdown:</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1736172' first='Keegan' last='Colter'] Liberty</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>An improving lead guard is very quick to the rim. He has great size and he can drive and kick it to a teammate with good court vision. He can ball fake and get to the basket. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2147290' first='Blake' last='Glover'] Eastmark</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A newcomer for me is an unselfish combo guard. He plays with a high IQ for the game and can score. He can shoot it from mid to the three off the catch or pull.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1598395' first='David' last='Leszczynski'] Paradise Honors</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A combo guard who seemed to grow an inch or two. He can score it from all levels. He can step back from the three point line plus he uses runners well and can euro his way to the basket. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1594604' first='Keyan' last='Murphy'] Centennial</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A strong wing forward should have himself a breakout year. He can score it with toughness and strength. He can hit the three and will step back off the dribble from his defender. He can defend nearly every position in the AIA. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2123443' first='Sergio' last='Ramirez'] Canyon View (Pictured)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A sturdy framed shooting guard can score and make plays. He will drive and kick it to a shooter with good court vision and can get a step on his defender to the basket. He can score on reverse layups in traffic and make perimeter jumpers with confidence. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1679272' first='Jack' last='Raslavsky'] Basha</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A long and tall post player is tough to score on in the paint. He covers a lot of ground and will alter or block shots. He will grab rebounds in and out of his area and will score on put backs.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1596491' first='Justin' last='Rhodes'] Valley Vista</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>An undersized point guard with jets. He is quick to get downhill with his tighter handle. He uses a burst of real speed to blow past his defenders and get to the basket. He has real confidence with the ball and plays the game at his own quicker pace. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2147234' first='Noah' last='Ruiz'] Chandler Prep</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A newcomer for me had a good showing. He is a good on-ball defender and he will actually block shots. He is a good passer to thread it in and knows how to play. He moves the ball and he will make extra passes plus hit the open three. </p>
