So we take a look at some of the top players in every conference.
We now move over to the 4A SF’s.
Here are some of the top ones that will impact their teams:
EnoShay Cain EnoShay Cain 6'4" | SF Phhoenix Prep Post Grad | 2022 State AZ (Desert Edge) (Pictured)
-Arguably the most unique player in 4A. He plays the 1-5 for them and is truly a point forward with one of the better passers in 4A. He rebounds everything near him and is a great shot blocker. He scores in in the paint better then most bigs. He is a defensive POY candidate plus a POY candidate. If the Scorpions make a deep run, Cain’s imprints will be all over every playoff game.
Elijah Cole Elijah Cole 6'5" | SF Shadow Mountain | 2021 State AZ (Shadow Mountain)
-An athletic forward who has improved his shooting in the last year from deep. He still is a versatile defender, outstanding ball handler. passer and rebounder. He can defend out on the perimeter then block your shot inside.
Jake Clapper Jake Clapper 6'5" | SF Desert Edge | 2021 State AZ (Desert Edge)
-Cain’s partner in crime is a natural scorer. He can shoot it most comfortably from mid-range but he can get out on the break and finish plus can shoot it from deep. He likes to attack the basket and will rebound.
Tommy Irish Tommy Irish 6'3" | SF Salpointe Catholic | 2021 State AZ (Salpointe Catholic)
-A sturdy framed wing forward can really shoot it with range plus will get physical inside to defend and rebound the ball. Him and Hersha will be a formidable duo up front for the Lancers.
Raul Montoya 6’4 2021 (Dysart)
-A strong downhill wing rebounds well in and out of his area and can score it in the paint with efficiency. If he can compliment Daryian Matthews Daryian Matthews 6'5" | PF Dysart | 2021 State AZ , this duo will be tough to handle.
Garrison Phelps Garrison Phelps 6'6" | SG Saint Marys Catholic | 2022 State AZ (St. Mary’s)
-One of the top athletes in all of the AIA throws it down way above the rim with the best of them and can defend any perimeter position. He is best getting downhill but has made strides with his perimeter shooting.
Jason Parent Jason Parent 6'4" | SF Prescott | 2022 State AZ (Prescott)
-One of the more skilled players in 4A. He has a mean pull-up from mid to the 3pt line and is clean off the catch. He can also dunk the ball and is a sneaky good passer. He will play some 1-5 for his smaller team as he can handle it like a PG and make plays plus battle with the bigs.
Ben Wilder Ben Wilder 6'5" | SF Bradshaw Mountain | 2023 State AZ (Bradshaw Mountain)
A younger piece to the Bradshaw Mountain puzzle. They have two very good seniors with Nate Summit Nate Summit 6'7" | C Bradshaw Mountain | 2021 State AZ and Carter John Carter John 6'1" | CG Hillcrest Prep Post Grad | 2022 State AZ but then throw in Wilder and you have a nice trio. He can rip through and score it with decent athleticism to go along with his strength. He can also shoot it from the mid to the 3. He is definitely the future up there.
