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 start with the 18 3pt shooters.
Here are my Top-5:
1. AJ Riggs AJ Riggs 6'2" | SG Highland | 2022 State AZ (Highland)
-PURE SHOOTER! He attempts almost 7 3’s a game with 84 made (10th best overall in state) at an impressive 47% clip in a tough 6A. He also had 88% on his FT’s.
2. Andrew King Andrew King 6'3" | CG Bella Vista Prep | 2022 State AZ (Phhoenix Prep) (Pictured)
-One of the top shooters in the class made 65 3’s with an outstanding 45% for the Desert Vista Thunder.
3. Dominic Capriotti Dominic Capriotti 6'4" | SG Phh Prep | 2022 State AZ (Phhoenix Prep)
-Made 79 3’s (12th most made in state) which was 3rd best in the class with 35%. Has some of the deeper range in the group. He did it for the 6A Final-4 Skyline Coyotes.
4. Logan Porter (Heritage Maricopa)
-A shooting specialist made 65 3’s while making 51% in the CAA. Porter was also 85% on FT’s. They were a Final-4 team.
5. Josh McClanahan Josh McClanahan 6'1" | CG Eduprize | 2022 State AZ (Eduprize)
-Made 74 3’s in the CAA on a team desperate for scoring. Has a nice pull-up too.
Next-5:
1. Aaron Foote Aaron Foote 6'6" | PF Hamilton | 2022 State AZ (Hamilton)
-Was only playing JV but made 44% of his 3’s and made 47 of them. Could jump in the top-5, but has to show it on varsity next year.
2. Jason Parent Jason Parent 6'4" | SF Prescott | 2022 State AZ (Prescott)
-Parent made 44 3’s at a 38% rate. He can score it from mid as well.
3. Pascal Volz Pascal Volz 6'1" | CG McClintock | 2022 State AZ (McClintock)
-Volz made 46 3’s with a respectable 35%. He also makes his teammates better.
4. Cameron Coraggio Cameron Coraggio 6'3" | SG Horizon | 2022 State AZ (Horizon)
-Coraggio made 47 3’s and at a 31% clip. He is mostly a standstill catch-shooter.
5. Malcolm Flaggs Malcolm Flaggs 6'6" | SF Hillcrest Prep | 2022 AZ (Home-schooled)
-A rare home-schooled player can really shoot it. Easy 3pt stroke and plays on Team Harden for AAU.
5-more:
1. Tanner Pate Tanner Pate 6'3" | SG Mountain Pointe | 2022 State AZ (Mountain Pointe)
-A JV star may be their best shooter and will hopefully prove it next year on varsity.
2. Anthony Jaramillo Anthony Jaramillo 5'10" | CG Mountain Pointe | 2022 State AZ (Mountain Pointe)
-A loaded back-court, so he didn’t get heavy PT but made 38% of his 3’s when he was in.
3. Extavius Mason Extavius Mason 6'1" | SG Greenway | 2022 State AZ (Greenway)

5. Michael Dienes Michael Dienes 6'6" | PF Rancho Solano Prep | 2022 State AZ (Rancho Solano Prep)

3-more:
1. Luke Arington Luke Arington 6'3" | SG Shadow Ridge | 2022 State AZ (Shadow Ridge)
-He didn’t get the heavy minutes on an older guard team but should break out next year. He made 15 3’s at a 33% rate.
2. Amir Locus Amir Locus 6'6" | PF Democracy Prep | 2022 NV (Deer Valley)
-Played a little on varsity and is a face-up 4-man and shoots the 3 easy.
3. Kaden Earl Kaden Earl 6'1" | SG Campo Verde | 2022 AZ (Perry)
-Missed most of the season with the transfer rule but will get his chance to shine next year. He can shoot it with range plus is athletic.
