July 16-18 I attended the HoopSeen The Valley Jam at the beautiful nearly brand new Ottawa University in Surprise/AZ.
43 teams from the 15 to 17U played four showcase games over the weekend. College coaches were on hand to take in the action for the second of the three July live periods.
Here were some 2022 lead guards that stood out:
Ahamed Mohamed

Mohamed
6'0" | PG
Apollo | 2022
State
AZ
Apollo (Factory)
-One of the top AIA PG’s defends his position and makes plays. He consistently has his head on a swivel finding teammates and throwing dimes. He had his usual pull-up per usual off the dribble and his stock continues to soar.
Jake Lifgren

Lifgren
6'1" | CG
Centennial | 2022
State
AZ
Centennial (Factory)
-One of the top scorers in the AIA has a pure stroke. He can shoot it it off the catch or rises high on his pull-up from mid-range and can create his own shot. He gives hard ball fakes and then can either rise up or burst by his defender. He makes good decisions off ball screens and he has had a consistent off season.
Raydon Thorson

Queen Creek (AZ Junior Ballers)
