<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2146175' first='LJ' last='Diamond'] <strong>Desert Vista</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A dynamic guard with size and athleticism. He is explosive to the basket with a quick first step and will flush it down above the rim or finish with difficult layups. He can make the three and is a top-notch on-ball defender. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1555180' first='Delton' last='Prescott III'] <strong>Sunnyslope</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the top "pure" point guards in the class from the West. He has blazing speed and gets past his defenders and will find a teammate in stride with ropes thru the defense. He scores with pull-ups, threes and speed dribble drives. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2223522' first='Kolby' last='Barnes'] <strong>Perry</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A long and taller scoring point guard who can make plays. He can drive and kick it and slither in passes to teammates. He scores with threes, floaters and pull-ups. He unfortunately will miss his sophomore season at Perry and will be ready to go junior season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1950104' first='Jonathan' last='Mercado'] <strong>Chandler </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A very mature scoring lead guard. He scores it easily from mid to the three point line. His pull-up is about as polished as it gets. He uses his stronger frame to get downhill thru contact. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2133646' first='Myles' last='Godfrey'] <strong>Cactus Shadows</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A quick and long young pure point guard. The ball is on a string for him and he has some real shift to his handle. He can hit the three, burst to the basket and crossover his defender to create necessary separation. His up court passing is some of the best in the class. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2280207' first='Jackson' last='Moore'] <strong>Cienega</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A powerful scoring point guard is tough. He uses his handle and stronger upper body frame to carve his way downhill in heavy traffic. He will whip passes to teammates and is tough on the ball defensively. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2407206' first='Cameron' last='Hurt'] <strong>Pinnacle</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Another very young pure point guard with very long arms. He sprays the ball around the yard to make plays for his teammates. He is always in attack mode when he is not facilitating. He can hit the three but loves using his speed to get to the rim. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1986796' first='Peyton' last='Lubash'] <strong>San Tan Charter </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the top scorers on the talented list. He has range from the parking lot and can rattle in triples. He is also improving his middle game as he can pull-up from mid-range with good elevation. He also sees the court to make a play, which is a very underrated part of his game. </p>
