Remember, these are not player rankings but how much they impact their team along with the talent they go against during the season.
Here are the next eight:
Jackson Leyba Jackson Leyba 6'0" | SG Deer Valley | 2021 State AZ (Deer Valley) (Pictured)
-Most likely will be their go-to player next season in many categories but especially as a true leader.
John Gaines John Gaines 6'2" | PG Glenview College Prep | 2021 State AZ (Deer Valley)
-Arguably the most athletic AIA senior should be right there with Leyba as a big reason they get back to the playoffs.
Brooks Jones Brooks Jones 6'6" | PF American Leadership Academy-Queen Creek | 2022 State AZ (ALA-QC)
-A possible 4A breakout POY candidate may go from a star JV player to the man. The athletic forward will be a problem on both ends of the court for opponents next season.
Trey Phillips Trey Phillips 6'6" | PF Brophy College Prep | 2022 State AZ (Brophy Prep)
– Brooks Jones Brooks Jones 6'6" | PF American Leadership Academy-Queen Creek | 2022 State AZ may be the breakout candidate in 4A where Phillips may be it for 6A. He is extremely athletic and will finish off plays from their top-notch guards.
Braeden Roberts Braeden Roberts 6'0" | CG North Valley Christian Academy | 2021 State AZ (North Valley Christian)
-One of the top 1A players avg 13.7 ppg 6.3 assists 5 rebounds and 3.2 steals per game and guided the Lions to the State Championship game. He may get them back again but win it next season!
Zach Morgan Zach Morgan 6'9" | C SoAZ Volz | 2021 State AZ (Pueblo)
-A long post player will be the focal point to stop for opposing defenses. He will alter or block shots and gobble up most rebounds.
Jake Clapper Jake Clapper 6'5" | SF Desert Edge | 2021 State AZ (Desert Edge)
-A natural scorer avg 11 ppg and 4.4 rebounds on a very balanced older roster for next season. He has a nice pull-up and will most likely raise his scoring.
Ruben Cazares Ruben Cazares 6'7" | PF Cholla | 2021 State AZ (Cholla)
-Big man averaged 9 points and 7 rebounds last year and will look to get those numbers higher. They are also moving down into 4A next season.
