There were around 110-115 players who attended the event divided into 12 different teams.
Players were from Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Washington.
Each team played 3 full games and the games were very competitive.
I personally watched each time twice and it’s possible players didn’t perform their best when I viewed them or were outstanding. That in a nutshell is scouting. You never know who is watching and when, so always try to perform your best.
I made my All-EXPO team on how they performed on October 11th. It has nothing to do with their rankings.
I thought these six shined when I viewed them.
I purposely used 2 guards 2 forwards 1 post and a 6th man.
Here was my All EXPO team:
MVP Tavionte Jackson Tavionte Jackson 6'1" | PG Las Vegas | 2022 NV (Las Vegas/NV) (Pictured)
-The top rated player at the EXPO backed it up with a phenomenal performance. He is one of the top passers on the West Coast and makes the game very easy for everyone playing with him. He has one of the tightest handles and sees the game unfold faster than most in the country. He gets into the lane with ease and finishes with his thicker frame.
Garrett Rogers Garrett Rogers 5'11" | PG Columbine | 2021 State CO (Columbine/CO)
-One of the top shooters at the EXPO was firing away from everywhere. He has volleyball line range with a sturdy frame and also is a sneaky good passer
Jamison Kay Jamison Kay 6'5" | SF Gila Ridge | 2021 State AZ (Gila Ridge/AZ)
-A long wing showed he can handle it, pass it and score it from all 3 levels. His deep ball was clicking and he handled ball pressure well. His pull-up was on and he also had multiple blocks showing his versatility. The rising senior keeps shining in every tourney he is a part of.
EnoShay Cain EnoShay Cain 6'4" | SF Phhoenix Prep Post Grad | 2022 State AZ (Desert Edge/AZ)
-An unique true point forward was tough to handle on both sides of the court. He grabbed every rebound, picked up every tough assignment on defense and was talking the entire time as a true leader. He makes real PG passes up the court and gets to the rack with the best of them with his tight handle.
Daryian Matthews Daryian Matthews 6'5" | PF Dysart | 2021 State AZ (Dysart/AZ)
-A human vacuum for rebounds led the AIA last year and I am assuming he will again. He had close to 10 rebounds at the half of both games I viewed! He uses his girth, massive hands and strength to score it inside and rebound. He also stepped out and hit a 3 showing his improvement as a shooter.
Lareon Ginnis Lareon Ginnis 5'9" | PG AZ Compass Prep | 2022 State AZ (South Mountain/AZ)
-A true ball hawk has supreme lateral quicks. He gets low to the ground and picks the pockets of his opponents. He has that very calming feeling when he is controlling the ball surveying the court to set up a play. He directs his teammates, plays well off the pick and roll and gets to the basket with a blazing first step.
