Legacy Tip Off Classic Preview: Top Out Of State Players
Bruce Williams
<p>The Legacy Tip-Off Classic features 18 teams from 4 states. It is one of the premier season-opening events in Nevada. The field is loaded with a ton of talent. In this article, PH takes a look at some of the top out of state players in the field.</p>
<p><strong>Trevor Farrow 5'11 PG Canyon View (UT) 2020</strong> <strong>(#84 PHU 2020)</strong> - Farrow is one of the sharpshooters of the tournament. He does an excellent job of moving without the ball and is a threat to knock down shots whenever spotted up. He led the team in makes and 3 point percentage last season.</p>
<p><strong>Riley Fornerette 5'11 PG Dysart (AZ) 2021 (#77PHA 2021)</strong> - Fornerette is a must-see player for me. An absolute magician with the ball, he may be the best passer in the tournament. Has a knack for using angles and ball fakes to lift defenders and create openings. A pure PG that can dominate a game without ever taking a shot. He currently leads the team in points and assist.</p>
<p><strong>Nick Hopkins 6'5 SF Aquinas (CA) 2021</strong> - The junior wing is a lethal scoring machine who is off to a monster start to the season. Hopkins leads the Falcons in both points and rebounds. He is averaging a double double with 22 and 12 per game.</p>
<p><strong>Sam Mitchell 6'4 SF Payson (UT) 2020</strong> - Mitchell is another one of the dynamic sharpshooters in the field. The 6'4 wing is a volume shooter with a hair-trigger. Last season he averaged nearly 13 and 6 per game. He also averaged a remarkable 3 3 point makes per game, while shooting over 50% from beyond the arc. </p>
<p><strong>Jermal Pittman 6'2 SG Clovis East (CA) 2020</strong> - The lefty is a terrific run and jump athlete that can create his own shot and spot up for 3. Pittman loves to play downhill, both in transition and in half-court sets. He also has a knack for finishing high flying spectacular plays.</p>
