<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2325982' first='Stetson' last='Rowley'] Phhoenix Prep (Pictured)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A bigger wing seems to keep growing. He can score with a pure stoke from the three point line, fall away from his defender and get downhill with either hand. He is a plus rebounder and will score it around the rim with offensive rebound put backs and he is a good passer. He also has sneaky bounce to throw it down. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1591738' first='Jeehzus' last='Pagan'] AZ Compass Prep</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A scoring point guard is a two-way defender with quicker feet and hands. He will score with getting downhill after a tight crossover, he cuts off the ball smartly and he will rattle in threes off the catch. His perimeter shooting has improved every year in high school.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1620346' first='Josh' last='McManaway'] McClintock </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A scoring guard with great size for position. He will hit the three off the catch plus fall away from mid-range off the dribble. He has a tough euro game and his middy is very polished. He rebounds well in his area and just plays from the neck up. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1917869' first='Ethan' last='Sobik'] Notre Dame Prep</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A good sized power forward can score it from inside and out. He can step out and shoot the three plus score with floaters, offensive rebound put backs and dunks on the break. He will block shots and chase rebounds out of his area. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1598402' first='Johnny' last='Rios III'] Centennial </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Top-48 Co-MVP is a pure point guard with a super tight handle and real speed in the open court with the ball. He finds anyone in stride with needle threaders in heavy traffic and can score. He has a sweet shooting mid-range pull-up, a floater game and will hit the three off the catch </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2432454' first='Sekou' last='Sackor'] Centennial </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A hyper athletic combo guard has a live body to defend. He takes charges but also makes you feel uncomfortable handling the ball in front of him. He will throw down dunks on the break with great speed and quick springs. He can pull-up from mid-range and he changes speeds and directions quickly to get by his opponents. He is also a better passer then he gets credited for. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2390672' first='Cazell' last='Henderson-Bradley'] Phhoenix Prep </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A physical high motored defensive minded point guard. He takes charges in bunches and plays with an incredible motor. He has very quick hands and a stronger upper body with some length. He is a good passer and will score with threes off the catch and gets to the FT line with his aggressive play to the basket. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2396146' first='Ethan' last='Graves'] Palo Verde</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A long power forward has grown about an inch. He is one of the longer players out there and uses it to score on offensive rebound put backs, layups in traffic, rebounds with both hands and big time dunks. He is becoming a more vocal leader on defense and plays hard. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1555149' first='Bryson' last='Krueger II'] Desert Ridge</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A long wing makes his money on the defensive end. He is your classic 3 and D type and rebounds the ball well in his area, runs the floor and will hit the three off the catch. He covers a lot of ground and can defend multiple positions on defense. His workload will go up offensively this year for the East Valley team. </p>
