Some of the top players from around the country form teams from all over the country and some Canadian teams as well. Arizona boasts one of the better programs in the West with&nbsp;<a href="https://prephoops.com/program/arizona-unity-eybl/"><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='2271105' first='Arizona' last='Unity EYBL']</strong></a>&nbsp;and the state has players sprinkled on touching states plus from Prep players who play for their home town teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here were the 15U-16U local standouts</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1323290' first='Mason' last='Magee'] Basha (Vegas Elite 16)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A pure PG with a dynamic first step. He has a strong upper body with length. He throws players open with needle threaders to teammates. Not many can stay in front of him as it is hard to match his speed. He uses the pick and roll game to his advantage and he has a high level mid-range pull-up and will make the three. He is a good rebounder for position and will push the rock so quickly. He is a top notch on-ball defender and a true disruptive player on opposing guards. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1490241' first='Elijah' last='Summers-Livingston'] Basha (Vegas Elite 16)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A high motored power forward is a rebound chaser and plays hard. He blocks shots in and out of his area and will score with quick first and second jumps, which is better then most in the West. He will crab dribble into a mini hook shot, dunk in traffic and has the mid-range fall away. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1612468' first='Cameron' last='Williams'] St. Mary's (Vegas Elite 16)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long and tall power forward with skill and defensive capabilities. He scores it with mid-range jumpers, quick dunks, offensive rebound put backs with his left or right hand, turn around jumpers but his mid-range J is his sweet spot. He will block shots with either hand in and out of his area and is a two-handed rebounder.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1685490' first='Patrice' last='Mpouli'] Williams Field (Vegas Elite 16)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A top notch on-ball defender and glue guy of the team.

He moves in space unusually well and runs. He will block shots and rebounds at a good clip in his area. He takes long strides to the basket and will score. He had multiple out of area rebound put backs and can shoot it from mid to the three.

He is super competitive and will block shots and really knows how to play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2107225' first='Mike' last='McIntyre'] Williams Field (Vegas Elite 15)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A big incoming freshman scores it efficiently around the basket with offensive rebound put backs with good hands. He is very long and will dive on the floor for a loose ball. His hook shot inside is his go-to move but can face-up from 15-feet. He rebounds in bunches with his strong two hands and will impact the East Valley team on varsity immediately.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
