A shot maker with deep three point range will be one of the leading scorers all season for the talented NIBC team. He can step back off the dribble, pull-up from mid and get to the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1498372' first='Vyctorius' last='Miller'] <strong>AZ Compass Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>His partner in crime is a bigger guard who can facilitate well and score. He has a high level mid-range pull-up which is hard to defend and will play above the rim on the break or shoot the three. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1517384' first='Cooper' last='Campbell'] <strong>Phhoenix Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A physical sharp shooter verbally committed to <strong>Troy.</strong> He has range well beyond the three point stripe and comes with a strong build/frame. He is deceptively quick to get into the lane and get to the basket. His IQ is very high. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1289066' first='Dejuan' last='Graise'] AZ Compass Prep Black</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger combo guard is a natural scorer. The lefty is best as a catch shooter with deep three point range. He uses jab steps and step backs off the dribble from mid to the three. He works well off the pick and roll to make reads and will score off of it. He plays the passing lanes, rebounds well in his area and is sneaky athletic to throw it down on the break.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='996166' first='Braeden' last='Speed'] <strong>Brophy Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A tough two-way scoring lead guard who does a little bit of everything. He is strong and quick to defend on the ball with advanced lateral quickness. He likes getting downhill with a nice layup package and can make perimeter jumpers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1152187' first='Luke' last='Shaw'] <strong>Valley Christian</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top shooters in the AIA for any class. His ball rotates like it should and gets it off his hands quickly. He can handle it and uses his quickness to get to his spots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1293439' first='Sabien' last='Cain'] <strong>Millennium (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A physical guard who can play a little on the ball but is best off the ball to score. He does make good reads to teammates and can score it from all levels. He gets to the rim with a burst and can hit the three with success. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1150940' first='Rowan' last='McKenzie'] <strong>Boulder Creek</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scoring lead guard who easily plays on or off the ball. He makes plays for his teammates and can slide over and shoot it. When he is rolling, he is drilling shots from deep and gets to the basket using a burst and his stronger frame. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1036000' first='Khalon' last='Johnson'] <strong>Eduprize</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic guard is a three level scorer. He has deep range and a mean pull-up off the dribble from mid-range. He is an above the rim finisher in traffic and plays with a chip on his shoulder. He can be a stopper on the ball defensively as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1141681' first='Jonathan' last='Bradford']<strong> Bella Vista Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An under the radar guard has a very quick first step to get to the basket. He has a nice pull-up from mid-range off the dribble and comes with great energy and a big motor to defend. He has long arms, quick reflexes and good lateral quickness. He will throw up the court passes and facilitate. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1674458' first='Travis' last='Vasquez'] <strong>Deer Valley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scoring combo guard has earned a lot of respect recently and is definitely one of the better guards in the AIA from the West Valley. He keeps polishing up his skill it seems monthly and is getting more athletic. His ability to play the PG spot and then score from every level is separating him from some. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
