I like to take a look at my annual “Top-5’s”.
Every player has their 1 skill they usually excel at.
It’s just a fun way to take a look at players’ elite skills in different categories.
We move over to the 10 players who are athletes. These are the players you may jump out of the gym or make a freaky highlight reel play on offense or defense!
Here are my Top-5:
1. Kiran Oliver Kiran Oliver 6'4" | SG Phhoenix Prep | 2021 State AZ (Phhoenix Prep)
-One of the top athletes on the West Coast is barely 6’4 and he makes special plays in every game on defense and offense.

2. Maxwell Lewis Maxwell Lewis 6'6" | SF Hillcrest Prep | 2020 #66 Nation AZ (AZ Compass Prep)
-Another freaky athlete is on the same level as Oliver. He is 3 inches taller and longer and springs up just as well!
The guys @AZCompass_Prep have a player that everyone will soon know his name. He is under the radar, but that will soon change. Maxwell Lewis. Go follow @maxwelll2002 Class of 2021 @GreggRosenberg1 pic.twitter.com/thjHJgHJGM

3. Mike Foster Mike Foster 6'8" | PF Hillcrest Prep | 2021 State #17 Nation AZ (Hillcrest Prep)
-The most powerful player on the list is a gifted athlete and nationally ranked.
4. Alex Tchikou Alex Tchikou 6'11" | PF Dream City Christian | 2020 AZ (Dream City Christian)
-A rare blend of size and athleticism who flies up the court.
5. Max Majerle Max Majerle 6'4" | SF Arcadia | 2021 State AZ (Arcadia)
-The son of Dan Majerle came on like gang busters this season. He is throwing down way above the rim.
5-more:
1. John Jeanisse John Jeanisse 6'3" | PF Trivium Prep | 2021 State AZ (Trivium Prep)
-The small school athlete shined in the playoffs above the rim. Has a good body/frame and upside.
2. Timothy Cochrane Timothy Cochrane 6'5" | SF Phhoenix Prep | 2022 State AZ (Williams Field)
-The point forward can take flight in the open court above the rim.
3. Owen Shaw Owen Shaw 6'6" | PF Arcadia | 2021 AZ (Arcadia)
-A the face-up forward can shoot the 3 plus rip through and dunk it impressively.
4. Markes Siekam Markes Siekam 6'7" | PF Phhoenix Prep | 2021 State AZ (Chaparral)
-One of the least known athletes comes from a bigger school. He can play way above the rim better than I ever knew.
5. Paris Woods Paris Woods 6'5" | SF Bella Vista Prep | 2021 State AZ (Apollo)
-A long athlete with serious speed in the open court. Looks like a track athlete when he takes off.
