Preseason All-State Teams: Special Mention
Brandon Dunson
<h2>Special Mention</h2><p><strong>Bryce Cheney 6'7" F 2016 Moon Valley</strong> - Texas Rio Grande Valley commit is a high flyer that can put up points from the outside as well.</p>
<p><strong>Lawrence Combs 6'6" F 2016 Mountain Pointe</strong> - Versatile forward is a high level rebounder that can score from numerous areas on the floor.</p>
<p><strong>Darius Goudeau 6'4" F 2016 Mesa</strong> - Undersized forward led the Jackrabbits to the state tournament while putting up some gaudy numbers across the board.</p>
<p><strong>N'Keal Harry 6'4" G/F 2016 Chandler</strong> - ASU football commit is versatile and scores and rebounds like a hoops recruit.</p>
<p><strong>Tyrell Henderson 6'4" G 2016 Corona del Sol</strong> - Portland State commit brings consistency to the floor for Aztecs and always defends opponents biggest perimeter threat.</p>
<p><strong>Devin Kirby 6'10" C 2016 Basha</strong> - Potential filled big man back looking for a strong comeback after sitting nearly 10 months because of leg injury.</p>
<p><strong>Jacob Nicolds 6'5" F 2016 Gilbert</strong> - High motor forward brings intensity and drive to Tigers' frontcourt.</p>
<p><strong>Jake Rueter 6'2" G 2016 Seton Catholic Prep</strong> - One of Division 3's top performers, Rueter can score and distribute at a high level.</p>
<p><strong>CJ Van Beekum 6'4" G 2016 Paradise Valley</strong> - Senior guard looking to step into a scoring role in his final season.</p>
<p><strong>DeShawn Wilson 6'6" G/F 2017 St. Mary's</strong> - Out of state transfer will take attention off Hymes due to his ability to score off the bounce.</p>
<h2>Omitted</h2><p>The following players were worthy of Special Mention accolades but were omitted from consideration because they do not compete in the AIA with the rest of the players.</p>
<p><strong>Nigel Shadd 6'8" F/C 2017 Tri-City</strong> - The second best player in the Charter school division, Shadd is a relentless rebounder with a high motor and one of the best catch and finish games in the state.</p>
