We look at more PF/C’s in 6A.
Here are some sleeper PF/C’s that will impact their team:
Elijah Saunders Elijah Saunders 6'8" | PF Sunnyslope | 2022 State AZ (Sunnyslope)
-Not really a sleeper but playing next to Basham and Lewis, he may get a little overlooked. He is one of the top junior forwards in the state and can shoot it from the perimeter and plays above the rim. He will definitely impact the Vikings.
JP Musselmann JP Musselmann 6'6" | PF Brophy Prep | 2022 State AZ (Brophy)
-He has a bigger role now that one other possible starting forward transferred out. He will score it from inside and out and show off some muscle and bounce.
Terrance Dixon Terrance Dixon 6'8" | PF Bella Vista Prep | 2022 State AZ (Desert Vista) (Pictured)
-An explosive forward who is just figuring things out. He rebounds, rim runs and blocks shots. He can also face-up from elbow and in. Watch for him to make a quantum leap this season.
Matthew Buechner Matthew Buechner 6'8" | C Chaparral | 2021 State AZ (Chaparral)
-A strong post player loves touching the paint and going to work. He has advanced post footwork with his back to the basket plus can step out and shoot it. A transfer from Nevada should be an immediate impact player.
Josiah Sanders Josiah Sanders 6'7" | PF Bella Vista Prep | 2022 State AZ (South)
-A strong lefty who can score it from inside and out. He is a tough cover and gets on the glass with the best of them. He will need to be consistent for a deep playoff run.
Jaxton Bobik Jaxton Bobik 6'7" | PF Queen Creek | 2021 State AZ (Queen Creek)
-A quickly growing forward will breakout this season. He has great length and rebounds, blocks shots and can still handle it with wing skills.
Eric Ramirez Eric Ramirez 6'7" | PF Cibola | 2021 State AZ (Cibola)
-A skilled forward with footwork and a shooting touch to the 3pt line. If he can play hard throughout each game, the team from Yuma may surprise many teams this year and sneak into the playoffs.
Patrick Steitz Patrick Steitz 6'7" | PF Liberty | 2021 State AZ (Liberty)
-A shooting forward who has one of the best strokes in 6A. He can rattle them off quickly and put the team on his back. He can handle it and create for himself.
Latrell Barker (Mountain Pointe)
-One of the most unknown impact bigs of the season. He is a talented post player that is extremely strong. He will move other post players around to rebound the ball.
Dane Erikstrup Dane Erikstrup 6'10" | C Beaverton | 2021 State OR (Hamilton)
-An Oregon transfer who can jump start the Huskies. He defends in the post and can shoot it from the 3. He can score it inside and he should be the focal point for them this year.
