As we are hopeful for an AIA season to start now in mid-January, we look at some of the top players in every conference.
We look at more SF’s in 6A.
Here are some sleeper SF’s that will impact their team:
Elijah Johnson
ElijahJohnson6'4" | SFChandler | 2021StateAZ (Chandler)
-A tough combo forward can play inside and out. He is best downhill but can hit the 3. He uses his strength to score inside and muscles his way to rebound.
Andrew HinkleAndrewHinkle6'3" | SFHamilton | 2021StateAZ (Hamilton)
-Another tough forward willing to do the dirty work inside the paint to give the Huskies an offensive rebound, a 50/50 ball or score it in traffic.
Jared Nichols SF 6’2 2021 (Desert Ridge)
-A long defender is their glue guy for the Jaguars. Like all starters, he can also shoot the 3 but he is invaluable to his team with his ability to defend anyone on the court.
Luke Kearney
LukeKearney6'6" | SFSandra Day O'Connor | 2022StateAZ (SDO) (Pictured)
-Not sure he is a sleeper, but production wise, he hasn’t put up the stats yet. This year he definitely will breakout while playing the 2-5 for them plus scoring and rebounding.
Aaron FooteAaronFoote6'5" | SFHamilton | 2022StateAZ (Hamilton)

Aaron FooteAaronFoote6'5" | SFHamilton | 2022StateAZ (Hamilton)
-A top shooting forward can make it look easy from deep. He has great size and will use it to rebound.
Kyle WatersKyleWaters6'2" | SFPerry | 2022StateAZ (Perry)
-A stronger downhill forward will be a nice change of pace next to big Anderson. He will also do some grunt work and grab out of area rebounds plus run the floor and score it in transition.
Tyreek DeanTyreekDean6'4" | SFSouth Mountain | 2022StateAZ (South)
-A strong bodied forward can handle it and likes scoring it in the paint. He can score it through contact and brings that aggressive approach in every game.
Brandon Trilli
BrandonTrilli6'4" | SFDesert Vista | 2023StateAZ (Desert Vista)
-As multiple players moved or transferred, some players will end up getting a huge opportunity to impact their team. That is this case for Trilli. He is skilled, smart and a very efficient forward. He smartly moves without the ball and scores it from inside and out.
