Here is the All-Tournament 4th Team:
Jules Randy Assim Jules Randy Assim 6'8" | PF Bella Vista Prep | 2025 State AZ Bella Vista Prep
A high flying power forward is a fierce defender. He is a next level shot blocker or alters multiple shots per game. He is super active on the glass using his strong two hands to rebound. He will score it inside on layups, put backs and dunks.
MJ Baldwin MJ Baldwin 5'9" | PG West Point | 2025 State AZ West Point
A dynamic pure point guard is undersized but he is very quick and has a tight handle. He is a really good passer and sees the court. He scores with the three, off the dribble mid-range pull-ups and will get hot fast. He is a quick on-ball defender and he is their engine.
Gage Bartlett Gage Bartlett 6'2" | PG Bella Vista Prep | 2026 AZ Bella Vista Prep
A scoring point guard can put up points in a hurry. He has the deep three, he hits mid-range pull-ups in bunches and will ball fake and burst into the lane. He gets to the free throw line and sees the court well. He transferred over from Shadow Ridge.
Gus Cardon Gus Cardon 5'11" | CG Gilbert | 2025 State AZ Gilbert
A highly skilled combo guard will be one of their top scorers on the season. He will hit the three with confidence, pull-up off the dribble from mid-range and he will hesitate and go by his defender. He makes good decisions with the ball and thinks the game.
Marquice Cole Jr Marquice Cole Jr 5'11" | CG Hamilton | 2026 State AZ Hamilton
An athletic combo guard is a bucket. He scores with and-1’s thru contact, acrobatic layups, and his first initial step is really impressive. He is a quick twitch athlete on the ball defensively and is very fast in the open court. He will also rebound and block shots.
Camden Jenkins Camden Jenkins 6'1" | SG Cholla | 2027 AZ Cholla
A strong framed scoring guard is tough, fearless and skilled. He handles the ball well and can get downhill with his thicker framed build. He will hit the catch three, euro step down the lane and score in transition. He will move into the rankings after the AAU season and camps are over in August/September.
Myles Liimatta Myles Liimatta 6'6" | PF Valley Christian | 2026 State AZ Valley Christian (Pictured)
A physical power forward moves well in space on defense. He will rebound, set strong picks and has a nice touch around the hoop. He will ball fake into a mid-range pull-up and has great hands to catch tough passes. The more they feed him, the more successful they may be.
Eli Schlitt Eli Schlitt 6'1" | CG Gilbert | 2026 State AZ Gilbert
A highly skilled scoring guard can go on his own personal runs. He can rattle off threes with range and has an inner confidence to score. He has a nice pull-up and a sneaky burst to get to the basket. He will be a valuable piece off the bench.
Jayden Standifer Jayden Standifer 6'8" | C Cholla | 2025 State AZ Cholla
A good sized post player with a great touch inside the paint. He will score with his polished hook shot, offensive rebound put backs and can even step out and hit the three. He will box out and rebound at a high level with his strong two-hands. He will score off of the pick and roll game and slip to the basket.
Nate Tainsky Nate Tainsky 6'2" | SG Hamilton | 2027 State AZ Hamilton
A quickly improving scoring guard has one of the prettier strokes in the sophomore class. He will pull-up from mid to the three point line, get downhill into a spin move and will score it with either hand. He has a very clean stroke and quick release. He is also a sneaky good passer.
