Noticeably, a lot of these players are on the same team. That will surely help their team chemistry as these guys have played together for years.
Arizona Dynasty 17U has lost some size that they had last year, as Lucas Elliott has signed with Biola University and John Olmstead signed with Arizona State. However, I think they’re going to be just fine even with the departures of their big men.
They have a lot of guards and some forwards that can really get up and gather boards. I think they’re going to push the pace on teams and win by simply out running them. Phoenix Katz, Darius Rollins, and Cesar Caenz are all very solid and athletic forwards. They will be able to run with the guards in transition with ease.
The guards are going to have no problem pushing the pace, as they are as athletic as they come. Jackson Ruai, Jeff Thomas, and Zion Sandoval are all very quick and very athletic. Furthermore, the trio of guards have great scoring ability. This group is going to be very fun to watch, especially in transition.
Jackson Ruai (6’4 G Amphi 2019)
Phoenix Katz (6’7 F Sabino 2019)
Cesar Saenz (6’3 F Sabino 2020)
Mark Hunter (5’11 G Tucson 2020)
Jeff Thomas (5’10 G Palo Verde 2019)
Zion Sandoval (6’0 G Palo Verde 2019)
