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 9 players that have an elite feel the game. These are the players that almost have a sixth sense and just know what they are doing on a high level. Usually the smartest players on their team.
Here are my Top-5:
1. Tyrone Washington Tyrone Washington 6'4" | PG AZ Compass Prep | 2021 State #33 Nation AZ (AZ Compass Prep)
-The top feel for in the game is never sped up. He is very calm during stressful situations and uses his high feel to beat his defenders.
2. Justus Jackson Justus Jackson 6'0" | PG Eduprize | 2021 State AZ (Millennium)
-An athletic and fast scoring guard can score from all 3 levels but also is one of the better play-makers. He changes speeds and goes from very fast to slow quickly. A better passer then most realize.
3. Brett Hardt Jr Brett Hardt Jr 6'4" | PG Phhoenix Prep | 2021 State AZ (Phhoenix Prep)
-A top-notch shooter is improving quickly. His ability to change speeds and read the D is next level.
4. Isaiah Freeney Isaiah Freeney 6'0" | PG South Mountain | 2021 State AZ (South Mountain)
-A scoring lead guard plays at his own pace. Constantly changes speeds and is a smart play-maker and very good perimeter shooter with a nice floater game.
5. Steven Cervantes Steven Cervantes 5'10" | PG Mesa | 2021 State AZ (Mesa)
-A cerebral PG has volleyball line 3pt range, but he changes speeds and uses his mind to create separation. He is deceptively fast and a fun player to watch. Can make others better too.
4-more:
1. Dre Sheehan Dre Sheehan 5'10" | PG Agua Fria | 2021 AZ (Agua Fria)
-A downhill pure PG liked to get in lane and smartly uses hesitations to get the defense off balance.
2. Riley Fornerette Riley Fornerette 6'0" | PG Dysart | 2021 State AZ (Dysart)
-A quick shooting lead guard can score it from deep. He changes speeds well and uses his burst to get into the lane. Plays a smart floor game and is a good passer.
3. Thomas Hastings Thomas Hastings 6'1" | PG Basha | 2021 State AZ (Basha)
-High IQ play-maker and shooter thinks like a son of a coach would and consistently outsmarts his opponents.
4. Noah Dutcher Noah Dutcher 6'2" | PG Cactus Shadows | 2021 State AZ (Cactus Shadows)
-A good sized PG makes plays for others and can hit the 3 and seems to be a step ahead of the defense despite not being a blur.
