The 6A regular season showed that Arizona basketball has a lot of depth. Some of the states top players enjoyed great seasons and earned the right to be named to the 6A All State Team. The 2016-2017 season ended with the teams that many felt as the top two, Corona Del Sol and Basha, competing head to head for the title. Both of these teams, as well as many others, enjoyed great seasons. Here is the list of standout players from this past season.
6A Player of the Year
Gabe McGlothan 6'6 PF 2017 Basha (Army) - McGlothan was not only the most important player to his team in the state, but he was also the most improved player in the entire state. Although there was stiff competition for this spot, it is tough to argue that there was any other player in 6A that impacted their team's success as much as Gabe impacted his team. He did it all defensively as he played an array of spots, the top of a 3-2 zone, the perimeter, or on the block. In addition, he did whatever was asked of him on the offensive end and then some. This award is well deserved amidst a field of top tier candidates.
