<p class="text-gray-700">Kristian played last year at Millennium but played JV. He had a huge summer and improved dramatically. He is a 6'3 wing that can shoot the cover off the ball. He can extend his range a couple feet off the line is a legit catch and shoot threat from the outside. He is also very underrated when it comes to putting the ball on the floor. He has a nice handle and can get to the bucket and finish strong. He also has very sneaky bounce and will jam it on unsuspecting defenders.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Jacob is coming from Millennium where he played freshman and Jv as a freshman. He will now be playing at Willow Canyon High School. Jacob is a 6'5 wing that can get it done from all over the floor. He has a strong build and will use his strength and handle to get down hill and finish strong at the bucket. He plays above the rim and will dunk it when given the chance. He has a nice looking jumper and can hit it from the midrange to the three. He will be a impact player this year and for years to come at Willow Canyon.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Travius is a incoming freshman at Carl Hayden high school. He comes in ranked at #14 in the initial 2030 Arizona rankings. Travius is a super athletic wing can can get hot in a hurry. He plays above the rim and thrives in transition. He likes to operate in the open floor with some freedom and can score in multiple ways. He has a nice looking shot from the outside and can hit the three off the catch and the dribble. He has the tools to be a good defender with his length and athleticism. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Kash is coming from Desert Vista and will now be playing at Carl Hayden high school. He will be a new comer to most but is a very talented player. He is a 6'4 strong built athletic wing. He will often seek out mismatches and punish smaller players in the paint. He has a quick first step and is a hard guard for bigger players as well. He likes to score either at the rim or the midrange. He is a aggressive defender and will cause havoc for opposing wings and bigs. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Jeremiah was at Centennial last year but did not play do to AIA transfer rules. He is coming off a great summer where he showed off his ability to put the ball in the hoop at a high level. He is a 6'5 skilled wing that will most likely lead the Coyotes in scoring. He can fill it up from everywhere on the court. He will use his fluid handle to attack the bucket or rise up and hit a mid range jumper. He creates space with his high release point and makes it hard to contest his shot. He will also work out the pick and roll hitting the three off the dribble. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Justin is coming from AZ Compass prep and will be playing at West Valley power house Millennium high school. Justin is one of the best athletes in the state if not the best. He plays way above the rim and is a constant lob threat on the break and in the half court. He has a solid handle that allows him to get to the rim and the mid range where he just rises over the top of defenders. He is a legit shot blocker and will send shots away from the weak side.</p>

Evaluations are normally subscriber-only but when an athlete subscribes, theirs becomes free for all readers.
Subscribing doesn't change who the Scout covers, it changes who gets to see it.
