Top 250 Expo: Top Seniors

<p>On Saturday Prep Hoops had their annual <strong>Arizona Top 250 Expo </strong>at the Phhacility. Everyone played in 3 games with around 8 on every team to have a chance to watch each player.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Here were my top seniors I viewed:</p> <p><strong>Dyson Lighthall C 6’8 American Leadership Academy-Queen Creek </strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-The top senior at the event didn’t disappoint. He has soft and strong hands, He is highly skilled and plays hard. He can face-up to the 3pt line and in plus clean the glass. He is a good outlet passer and can carve out space inside to score it with his back to the basket. </span></p> <p><strong>Brennan Armijo SF 6’4 Desert Ridge </strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-Had one of the better showings from the perimeter this weekend. Was very consistent behind the 3pt line and drove the lane and scored it. He plays a smart floor game and was in a zone for most of the event.  </span></p> <p><strong>Miles Sulka SG 6’3 Mountain Pointe</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-Scoring guard seems to score it from anywhere on the court. He has a quick shooting release and always seems to outrun his competition. He was active in transition and on defense. </span></p> <p><strong>Jackson Risi SG 6’2 Valley Christian </strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-Top-tier shooter with a lights out release. Drove the lane well and has a high IQ. He will be a huge asset for the defending champions. Phillips and Risi will have some fun this year.  </span></p> <p><strong>JD Feagles SG 6’2 Horizon</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-Another sniper who is very athletic and defends his man. He also has a quick release and has unlimited range. He had multiple running blocks from behind showcasing his bounce. His natural strength and body has really come around.   </span></p> <p><strong>Michael Batchelor SG 6’3 Millennium </strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-Plays hard every possession and can shoot it from deep. He is always giving full effort regardless of the score and knows the game well. He can drive the lane with a nice handle and digs in on defense. </span></p> <p><strong>Chrisitan Valle SG 6’2 Hamilton </strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-Catch and shoot gunner! He did what he does well and that is shoot it. He didn’t go out of his comfort zone to show what he couldn’t do, where many kids try doing too much. He has one of the strokes that looks good every attempt. It is another tough weapon that the East Valley schools will have to worry about. </span></p> <p><strong>Nigel Wilson C 6’7 Catalina Foothills </strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-All athlete here. A true two-sport athlete (played in a football game Friday night). Dunks the ball easily and moves fluidly around the court. He can cover a lot of ground on defense. He won’t score the ball too much for you outside of put-backs, an occasional hook shot and perimeter jumper but his activity and potential are worth a look. </span></p> <p><strong>Keyshon Upchurch PG 5’8 Seton Catholic</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-Strong downhill PG who can defend his position. Tough as nails and built like a football player. Can shoot it plus uses the floater well. </span></p> <p><strong>TJ Tigler PG 5’9 Mountain Pointe </strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-Ultra quick ball handler who can shoot it from the perimeter. Has a nice floater game and defends his position with quick feet and hands. </span></p> <p><strong>Breagan Patten SG 5’11 North Valley Christian Academy  </strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-A smart guard who plays hard. Has a nice looking shooting stroke from deep and has a good approach to the game. </span></p>
