Jakob Thompson | Idaho Premier
Jakob is a very skilled 6’ guard that is hard to stay in front of. He has a very high motor that tires out anyone trying to guard him. He is a great ball-handler that can break the defender down off the dribble and either shoot or make a play for a teammate to score. He is an active defender never taking plays off. What I like about him the most was his movement without the ball! Never stayed in one spot for too long and was keeping the offense in motion.
Corey Wood Corey Wood 6'7" | SF ALA-Ironwood | 2023 State AZ | Team Rondae Hollis-Jefferson
Corey is a 6’6 athletic shooter. He is a good on-ball defender not giving up open lanes to drive. He contests shots without fouling and is a good shot blocker. He is a great catch-and-shoot guy. Corey is still young and I see a lot of potential in his game.
Lashy Perez Lashy Perez 6'2" | PG Apollo | 2023 State AZ | Team Ronda Hollis-Jefferson
Very quick and crafty guard. Finishes tough shots in the lane, and is able to create havoc with his ball handling. I really liked how he pushes the pace in transition keeping the defense on their heels.
Royce Ramos Royce Ramos 6'5" | PF Rancho Solano Prep | 2023 State AZ | PAL Elite
Royce is a very skilled wing. He is 6’5 with a quick first step. Royce has good ballhandling and is always trying to get his teammates involved. Very unselfish! Shoots well from anywhere on the court with a soft touch. He is very strong in the post and has great touch when finishing around the rim.
Shamar Moore Shamar Moore 6'4" | SG Peoria | 2022 State AZ | Arizona Select
This was the Day one gem for me! Moore is VERY athletic. He is overall an amazing player. He is a very strong finisher in the lane, breaking down his defenders with good, quick ball handling. He is a good shooter off the catch. Shamar is a tough defender and hard to get around. Shamar is a fierce competitor and wants to win every possession
