<p>It has been 3 months since the HS season has come to an end and I have seen many AAU games.</p>
<p>I've watched many knockdown shooters and here are <strong>15</strong> players that are under the radar. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>2020</strong></p>
<p><strong>Jake Murphy SG 6'4 Arcadia HS (Powerhouse Hoops Black 17)</strong></p>
<p>-The younger brother of Air Force commit Carter Murphy is making his own name and shooting the ball at a high level. </p>
<p><strong>Cam Faas SG 6’5 Arcadia HS (Zone-6 Black 17)</strong></p>
<p>-The new player on the block has one of the purest strokes out there. He has good size and a clean stroke. Shoots the ball effortlessly. (Pictured on cover). </p>
<p><strong>Jackson Risi SG 6'2 Desert Vista HS (Blue Chip Nation/Legion of Hoops 17)</strong></p>
<p>-Risi may be the hottest shooter on the circuit with an ultra quick release. </p>
<p><strong>Anthony Irvin SG 6’3 Corona del Sol HS (Prime Basketball 17)</strong></p>
<p>-Irvin turned heads in the ACBL. He has deep range and high confidence. </p>
<p><strong>Aidan Blaylock SF 6'5 Sunrise Mountain HS (Arizona Rebels 2020)</strong></p>
<p>-Blaylock is growing taller and keeps improving in all aspects including his more consistent shooting. </p>
<p><strong>JD Feagles CG 6’1 Horizon HS (Powerhouse Hoops 17U White 17)</strong></p>
<p>-Fast improving guard can light it up quickly. Clean release and can handle it like a lead guard. </p>
<p><strong>Caleb Alonso SF 6'6 Desert Ridge HS (Legion Of Hoops White 17)</strong></p>
<p>-Long lefty shooter with a nice looking stroke. Knows how to move without the ball. </p>
<p><strong>Zaiah Gonzales CG 6’0 Mesquite HS (Team Arizona Platinum 17)</strong></p>
<p>-True combo guard with a consistent jumper. Plays more of a lead guard role but probably should shoot more moving forward. </p>
<p><strong>Devin Ash SG 6’0 Mesquite HS (Team Arizona Platinum 17)</strong></p>
<p>-Pure specialist for the AAU team. Quick release and consistent approach. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>2021</strong></p>
<p><strong>Colin Carey SF 6'6 Sunrise Mountain HS (Factory 16)</strong></p>
<p>-Carey has had the biggest off-season so far of anyone on this list. The future college player seems to get rolling quicker than anyone in the soph class. </p>
<p><strong>Joe Kelsey PG 5’10 Desert Ridge HS (Prime Basketball 16) </strong></p>
<p>-Kelsey is another top-tier shooter in the soph class. His feel for the game is off the charts, but it's his ability to shoot that sets up his whole game. </p>
<p><strong>Gunner Wooden SG 5’11 Liberty HS (AZ Venom Red 16) </strong></p>
<p>-Long and lean shooter. He can get hot once he is comfortable and has time to shoot. Good upside. </p>
<p><strong>Will Betteridge PG 5’10 Chaparral HS (Triple Threat 16)</strong></p>
<p>-Another confident soph has a lot of moxie. Seems to have the green light every possession and can rattle them off. Gets his shot off by creating separation. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>2022</strong></p>
<p><strong>Dominic Capriotti SG 6'3 Skyline HS (The Show 17)</strong></p>
<p>-Son of the Skyline coach has good size already and a nice stroke. He has college range and isn't afraid to fail on 17U. Down the line he will be better for it since he was battle-tested now vs tougher competition. </p>
<p><strong>JP Musselman SG 6’4 Brophy Prep (Powerhouse Hoops 15U Grey)</strong></p>
<p>-Another good sized shooter. Seems like he grows every time I see him. He has a consistent shot and plays smartly on or off the ball. </p>
