This season ended up being a short AIA season, a full Grind Session season, a condensed CAA season and a longer AAU season with showcase formats.
This 2022 class is hoping the same thing doesn’t happen to them as the 2021 class and have a few live periods in the summer. Either Section-7 or AAU tournaments.
We look at the Top-10 SG’s in the 2022 class:
1. Shaedon Sharpe Shaedon Sharpe 6'4" | SG Dream City Christian | 2022 #1 Nation AZ Dream City
-One of the top juniors in the country makes it look easy. His pull-up from mid-range is a thing of beauty as he rises higher then anyone in state and has range on his three.
2. Garrison Phelps Garrison Phelps 6'6" | SG Saint Marys Catholic | 2022 State AZ St. Mary’s
-Another high flyer is one of the better athletes in the AIA. He loves attacking the cup and defends the top player on every team. His perimeter shooting keeps improving.
3. Dominic Capriotti Dominic Capriotti 6'4" | SG Phh Prep | 2022 State AZ Phhoenix Prep
-A deep shooter has verbally committed to Northern Colorado. He sets his feet quickly and launches from the parking lot. He plays a smart game and physical inside to rebound.
4. Patrick Chew Patrick Chew 6'4" | SG Brophy | 2022 State AZ Brophy Prep
-A strong high IQ guard is tough as they come. He is a top rebounder for his position and plays with a high motor plus he can shoot.
5. Blessing Nwotite Blessing Nwotite 6'2" | SG Paradise Honors | 2022 State AZ Paradise Honors (Pictured)
-A top defensive guard loves scoring it in the lane. He is rapidly improving his perimeter shooting and will defend the 1-4 for the Panthers.
6. Nikko Pentelute Nikko Pentelute 6'1" | CG Gilbert | 2022 State AZ Gilbert
-A tough and fearless guard had a great year. His mid-range game is one of the better ones in the AIA and he makes and takes big shots. (He was my Co-big shot maker in 5A).
7. Stephen Coleman Stephen Coleman 6'4" | SG Elevation Prep | 2022 IN Hillcrest Prep
-An athletic guard can shoot it. He de-committed from Siena and re-classed to 2022. He has a good frame and can get downhill plus play above the rim.
8. Reginald Mickens-Orr Reginald Mickens-Orr 6'3" | SG Millennium | 2022 State AZ Millennium
-Another top notch defender has good length and athleticism. He has a good motor plus can shoot the 3 and slash to the cup. Should have a breakout year next season for the Tigers.
9. Anderson Wilson Anderson Wilson 6'4" | SF Phh Prep | 2022 State AZ Glenview College Prep
-A jack of all trades lefty guard is very versatile. He can play the point forward role or two-guard. He can pull-up off the dribble from mid-range. hit the 3 and get downhill plus play above the rim.
10. Chase Mayo Harmon Chase Mayo Harmon 6'2" | CG Phhoenix Prep | 2022 State AZ Glenview College Prep
-An athletic shooter had a good season. He has a floater game and hits the 3 easily. He gets up on the break and is active on defense.
5 Others:
1. Shamar Moore Shamar Moore 6'4" | SG Peoria | 2022 State AZ Peoria
-A stronger wing with good length. He has a nice looking jumper and he will defend. He can handle it, play above the rim and shoot it with range.
2. Jayden Warren Jayden Warren 6'4" | SG Phh Prep | 2022 State AZ Phhoenix Prep
-One of the more physical defenders in the class. He has long arms, wider shoulders and strong hands. He will fight inside vs post players and lock up on the perimeter. He likes getting downhill and can make the catch-3. He is a sneaky good passer.
3. Cameron Harris Cameron Harris 6'4" | SG Bull City Prep | 2022 NC Bella Vista Prep
-A strong framed guard who attacks off the bounce scoring through contact using his body/frame. He is streaky shooter from deep and can pull-up off the dribble. He plays hard on both ends.
4. Kemp Van Es Kemp Van Es 6'1" | SG Phh Prep | 2022 State AZ Phhoenix Prep
-One of the deeper shooters in the class. He has range for days from beyond the volleyball line. He is primarily an all catch and shoot type of shooter but his handle and athleticism are slowly improving as he ages.
5. Cameron Coraggio Cameron Coraggio 6'3" | SG Horizon | 2022 State AZ Horizon
-A long and lean shooter is another with a pure stroke. He has a little wiggle to get passed his defender and score it. He relocates to open spots and the son of a coach plays a smart floor game.
