5’9 SG Diego Mulford Diego Mulford 5'10" | PG American Fork | 2024 State UT | Cyprus High School | 2024 | Hustle
Diego is a major deep ball threat and all eyes are on him quickly when he touches the ball as defenses work to not allow him any open looks. Diego has a quick release and you can see his form and footwork are continuing to evolve. Could be out there ready to break some records with the sets he runs off of and the ultimate green light that he has. look for him to continue to step further away from the three-point line to get better looks.
6’1 SG Kaden Cox Kaden Cox 6'0" | SG Ridgeline | 2022 State UT | Ridgeline High School | 2022 | N/A
With Kaden being a dual sport athlete that might have more football looks in the future his Spring’s and Summers might be full of football stuff but that doesn’t discount the fact that he can shoot the ball. Good size and strength and his legs are built and you can see that because he has elite footwork when setting up for shots. Kaden has mastered the 1-2 put it through and he is good at the stop pop and hop shot. He is coming off of screens with great speed and he is still able to get his feet under him. Last season he really extended his range and this year look for him to be more consistent as he will hopefully enter the season fully healthy. The most impressive aspect of his shooting ability is his percentage. He is not a high-volume shooter he is a high percentage shooter that takes great shots in rhythm and withing their offensive sets.
6’2 G Richard Isaacs Jr. | Wasatch Academy | 2022 | Vegas Elite
Talk about consistent and high percentage. Richard has both under his belt and he is not shooting against scrubs and smaller player or even against zones. Richard has to work hard to get shots off or he has to run the floor and get to spots so that he could get up shots early on the break. His ability to break down defenders and pull up from three with ease is elite. Richard can hit those three pointers coming off of screens on the right or left side. His High IQ is relevant in relocation situations when the ball gets dumped inside. He is one of the best shooters in the country.
5’11 PG Colby Simms Colby Simms 5'11" | PG Davis | 2022 State UT | Davis High School | 2022 | Kongo
Davis seems to be a school that has a lot of shooters to go around. Colby is a player that runs the offense and he is a beneficiary of the movement that he is put in through his offensive sets and reading the defense. Colby hits some big shots and when he has time and his feet are set, he is nearly automatic. Can hit that contested three and has some good footwork that leads to great balance for him. Undersized but he makes up for it with his shooting ability.
6’4 SG Dylan Jones Dylan Jones 6'6" | SG Westlake | 2022 State UT | Pleasant Grove High School |2022 | Salt Lake Rebels
Dylan might not have ethe prettiest release but he is sneaky good at getting open or enough space to get shots off. He seems to always push to the corner and he shoots it at a high percentage from the corner and the wings.
