10. Elijah Thomas Elijah Thomas 6'5" | SF Skyline Prep | 2022 AZ Valley Vista

5. Clarence Martin Clarence Martin 6'5" | SF Eduprize | 2021 State AZ Eduprize
-A strong power wing can really shoot it. He has serious range beyond the stripe and he can bully his way to the cup with his handle and strength. He rebounds well in his area and when he gets on a roll, he is very difficult to stop with catch, pull-ups and step backs.
