We now move over to the 5A bigs.
Here are some of the top ones that will impact their teams:
Will Menaugh Will Menaugh 6'10" | C Catalina Foothills | 2021 State AZ (Catalina Foothills)
-The big man is a load to deal with. He is very hard to move and he will challenge, block or alter shots near him. He will gobble up rebounds and score it near the cup.
Moses Demalek Moses Demalek 6'7" | PF Paradise Valley | 2021 State AZ (PV)
-The unique forward will make all his teammates better every time on the court. He plays and defends virtually every position and is one of the best passing forwards in the AIA. A legit POY candidate.
Owen Shaw Owen Shaw 6'6" | PF Arcadia | 2021 AZ (Arcadia)
-The bouncy forward should have a huge season for the Titans. He can stroke it from the perimeter and plays above the rim on the break. His energy will be needed to make a deep run.
LeRoy Williams LeRoy Williams 6'6" | PF Williams Field | 2021 State AZ (Williams Field)
-A low post stud is tough to handle. He is very strong and is hard to move. He can face-up some but does his best work inside the paint. The Black Hawks will lean on Williams this season.
Carson Ledbetter Carson Ledbetter 6'6" | PF Casteel | 2022 State AZ (Casteel)
-A highly skilled low post scorer can also step out and shoot it. He will be another big where the team will lean on. The Colts can play from inside and out and he can rebound and block shots.
William Dubuc William Dubuc 6'5" | PF Desert Mountain | 2022 State AZ (Desert Mountain)
-An athletic high-motored forward will be looked to step up in a big way. He is on a team with talented guards who will need that inside presence. He can run the floor, crash the glass and score it from rim running to shooting the 3.
Jaylen Wesley Jaylen Wesley 6'4" | PF McClintock | 2022 State AZ (McClintock) (Pictured)
-One of the top rebounders on the West Coast and last season’s breakout POY will be a tough match-up again this season. His strength, motor and desire to rebound are elite at his size. He can also score it around the rim. The Chargers are a team that will be tough to play in the playoffs led by Wesley.
