<p>Arizona's fall calendar packed two big showcases into the same weekend, with the Dillon Brooks Invitational and the Arizona Preps Fall Showcase running side by side and both floors loaded with talent. Between the high-level competition and the amount of names on the floor, there was plenty to evaluate. Here's who stood out.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Big body and frame who owns the paint — rebounds with authority and finishes above the rim. Soft hands let him catch and go up strong without bringing the ball down, keeping defenders from stripping him and turning tough looks at the basket into points.</p>

<p>Tight handle and a natural floor general who directs traffic with ease — changes speeds, keeps the offense organized, and was one of the best passers at the event if not the best. Gets downhill with purpose and finishes through contact, whether it's a layup or above the rim, turning pressure into points and easy looks for teammates.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Shot it well off the catch from three — quick release, no hesitation, no wasted motion. Patient with the ball in his hands, showed a high floater in the lane when help came early, and attacked off the dribble with a tight handle and good change of pace. Smart decision-maker throughout who kept the offense flowing.</p>
