Continue ReadingThe Pangos AA Festival takes place this weekend in Chandler Arizona. The format features 40 of the top players in the class of 2021 divided up into 4 regions. 10 players will represent the South, East, Midwest, and West. In this article, we preview the West roster.
Zaon Collins 5’11 PG Bishop Gorman (#2PHN) – Get Collins in a setting like this and expect magic to happen. The lighting quick, explosive PG should be good for his share of highlight plays this weekend. He has decided to stay home, committing to the UNLV Rebels.
Nolan Hickman 6’2 PG Wasatch Academy (#1PHU) – A backcourt of Hickman and Collins would probably make many HM programs salivate. Hickman is a P&R specialist who plays with a good change of pace and underrated athleticism. He will be headed to Kentucky to lead John Calapari’s Wildcats next season.
Paolo Banchero Paolo Banchero 6'10" | PF O'Dea | 2021 State #3 Nation WA 6’9 PF O’Dea (#1PHW) – Banchero is a skilled forward that can muscle you down low or blow by you on the perimeter. Word is that the Duke commit may be staying in Phoenix to represent Kings Basketball BFL on the Grind Session.
Kaden Perry Kaden Perry 6'10" | C Battle Ground | 2021 State #16 Nation WA 6’9 PF Battle Ground (#2PHW) (featured image) – The man with the sideburns is one of the most talented rebounders in the nation. Perry is a high motor guy that does damage by creating second-chance opportunities, blocking shots, and finishing with power around the basket. The Gonzaga Commit should have a blast in this one, as I don’t expect many blockouts to take place.
KJ Simpson 6’3 SG Chaminade (#4PHSC) – Simpson is the best defensive player I’ve seen in person over the last two years. While A.S games aren’t necessarily conducive to fundamental defense, it is competition. Expect the Arizona commit to show off his athleticism, on-ball defense, and passing lane instincts in this one.
