He has that rare quick twitch NBA bounce kids dream of. He has a huge wingspan and rebounds to score on put backs and will hit the open three. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1366003' first='Jaden' last='Vance'] <strong>Bella Vista Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A quickly rising wing forward seems to get better every few months. He grew a little in the last year and his skill has taken off. He scores with polished pull-ups from mid-range, deep threes off the catch or dunks in transition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1301344' first='Kingston' last='Tosi'] <strong>Millennium</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A wiry lean wing forward plays the 3-4 for the Tigers. He has quick leaping ability to throw it down and can score from inside and out. He rebounds out of his area and has footwork plus will step out and shoot it. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1449361' first='Caspian' last='Jones'] <strong>St. Mary's</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A thicker framed wing can score from all levels.

He is a three level scorer who has grown a few inches and polished up his game. He loves to shoot the three off the catch and bomb away plus has a high level pull-up from mid-range. He is starting to take the ball to the basket more, making him a tougher cover.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1379909' first='Carson' last='Grier'] <strong>Valley Christian (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the most unique players in the AIA keeps growing and improving.
