<p>Dinos Trigonis has had his finger tips on the pulse of Grassroots basketball for quite sometime and his best accomplishment, in my humble opinion, is the creation of these all region frosh/soph camps that take place in California, Texas, Illinois, and New Jersey. The camps are chock full of elite prospects and this was the exact case in California as super sophs <b>Kijani Wright </b>and <b>Aidan Shaw </b>took home MVP honors—and rightfully so.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p><em><b>Devontes Cobbs (Mayfair)</b></em></p>
<p><em><b>2022, SG, 6-foot-3, 165 pounds</b></em></p>
<p><b><span style="color: #0000ff">Joel's Take</span>: </b>Aruguably the most explosive guard-type in camp was Cobbs. His burst, speed, and bounce are uncanny. He pushes the ball on the break with reckless abandon and doesn't need an elevator to get to the 2nd floor. However, his jump shot is streaky at best and his half court skills need refining, especially his decision making—which can get a bit erratic.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p><em><b>Quinton Webb (Loma Linda)</b></em></p>
<p><em><b>2022, PF/WF, 6-foot-5, 185 pounds</b></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff"><b>Joel's Take: </b></span>Whereas Cobbs was the most explosive guard-type, Webb put his stamp on this title as far as “bigs” go. He has that prototypical wing-type frame, but at this stage he plays more like a 4-man. He can step out and hit the elbow jump shot, but it was rim-rattling finishes in transition as well as in the half court set that caught our eye.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p><em><b>Mier Panoam (Bartlett/AK)</b></em></p>
<p><em><b>2023, PG, 6-foot-2, 160 pounds</b></em></p>
[caption id="attachment_846951" align="alignleft" width="150"] <span style="color: #0000ff"><em><strong>Panoam has a great frame and the explosiveness to be an elite PG</strong></em></span>[/caption]
<p><b><span style="color: #0000ff">Joel's Take</span>: </b>Panoam is a terrific lookiing prospect for the point guard position. He has long arms, active hands, and a tremendous burst off the dribble. He blew by his defenders at will and got into the lane for either the finish or drop-off pass. His jump shot needs to improve to keep defenders honest, but he is a talent with a great frame and physical tools.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p><em><b>Jurian Dixon (San Ysidro)</b></em></p>
<p><em><b>2023, SG, 6-foot-3, 160 pounds</b></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff"><b>Joel's Take: </b></span>Dixon was fliying up-and-down the court converting buckets in transition at an impressive clip. He possesses a nice burst off the dribble, shows great body control in the paint area, and can finish over length. He plays with a hot motor at both ends and has the lateral quickness and quick hands to be a lock-down defender.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
