6’6 Connor Saunders Connor Saunders 6'6" | SF Syracuse | 2021 State UT , Syracuse High School
Connor is an elite prospect that has length and bounce. He finds was to get to some spots where he can make tough shots look easy. He is great going left and attacking the rim. He has no fear at attacking defenders above the rim either. When he is getting ready to shoot the ball he doesn’t need to dip it low to get his shot off. Moves extremely well without the ball and he can get his feet right to get off off good quick shots. Defends well and his length and wingspan allows him to get in the passing lane and get tip that lead to break-away dunks. When he is driving and is stopped he has a nice turn around jumper at the mid-range area. Connor could end up at the highest level at some point in his collegiate career. Remember that he is 6’6 and a legit guard.
6’4 Cody Nixon Cody Nixon 6'4" | PG Riverton | 2021 State UT , Riverton High School
Cody is a high motor guard that can play 1-3 but will play at a higher level if he is the 1 or 2. Cody is one of the best at running off of screens and setting defenders up to work off of off-ball screens. When he is taking an on-ball screen he is tough to defend as well because he reads defenders well so that he could get his shot off or get to the rim. He has great counters as well. When the defense shows he gets rid of the bal and moves so well that he can get the ball back quickly. When teams go under screens he can push back and score from deep as well. Great defender that has length. He can guard up or down in size. Cady can score the ball.
6’4 Dante Martin Dante Martin 6'2" | CG Jordan | 2021 State UT , Jordan High School
Dante looks like a college linebacker or safety that is playing PG in high school. These are good things because he bullies smaller players from the top of the key all the way down the lane. Dante knows the game and his IQ is high as he uses his strength against smaller guards. When he is defended by bigger players he usually beats them off the dribble. Shoots high percentage shots. Big time rebounding guard that can get out and run quickly.
6’4 Parker Christensen Parker Christensen 6'4" | PG Skyridge | 2021 State UT , Skyridge High School
Parker is crafty with the ball and he is smooth with his splits and creating ability. Parker does a great job of creating seperation between him and defenders that enables him to get great looks at the basket. He shoots the ball really well off the dribble. His spot up shooting is great as well and he has a great looking lefty shot. Runs the floor well when he has the ball he gets in attack mode, but when he doesn’t have the ball he fills the lanes really well and is a threat to stop and pop a long ball. On the defensive end he keeps players in-front and he is always willing to take a charge.
6’6 Keegan Munson Keegan Munson 6'6" | CG Desert Hills | 2021 State UT , Desert Hills High School
Keegan is a player that can really play inside and out. His ability to play 3-4 at the next level really makes him a sleeper because e he had to play the 5 in high school. Keegan is a bouncy athlete that plays above the rim. He puts himself in positions on the floor taht allow him to attack the rim. Great three-point shooter off of picks and trails. Could really develop more guard qualities at the next level.
