They are all good players who are not yet known to most people even locally.
Only one plays at a big school, two are from out of town and all the rest are one to three hours away from the city.
Here are 8 that should have big seasons and hopefully gain some recognition:
Fareed Burton Jr Fareed Burton Jr 6'1" | PG Taylor Made Prep | 2022 State AZ Taylor Made Prep
A slick ball handler shows play making ability and scores it easily. He can hit the 3 and has a burst into the lane to score on layups or the floater. He sees the court and will advance pass to make plays.
Nick Morrow Nick Morrow 6'6" | PF Flagstaff | 2022 State AZ Flagstaff
A strong football type of body can score it inside the paint with a nice touch with either hand. He also can step out and shoot the 3 as he surprises his opponents with his shooting touch from the perimeter to go along with his strength.
Mark Clegg Jr Mark Clegg Jr 6'5" | SF Coolidge | 2022 State AZ Coolidge
A unique defensive wing can play and defend multiple positions. He plays like a point forward type and can shoot it mainly from elbow and in and will make a catch-3.
Harrison Reede Harrison Reede 6'2" | SG Phhoenix Prep | 2023 State AZ Phhoenix Prep
One of the top catch and shoot 3pt specialists in the class. The South Dakota transfer sets up quickly and lets it fly. He has a smart floor game and takes care of the ball.
Wes Ball Wes Ball 6'6" | PF Marana | 2022 State AZ Marana
A bouncy forward with decent size for position. He uses his plus athleticism to rebound and block shots. He can shoot it to the 3pt line and in and runs the floor well. Ball has nice upside for the future and his best version of himself is clearly ahead of him.
Daimon Denning Daimon Denning 6'1" | CG Hamilton | 2022 State AZ Hamilton
A steady guard plays the 1-3 for the Huskies. He shows a good burst getting down the lane and will score in traffic. He has some experience and it should pay off this season. He is smart, he is a good ball handler and has sneaky athleticism.
Matias Kroese Matias Kroese 6'4" | SF Tucson Magnet | 2022 State AZ Tucson
A versatile forward should have a monster year down south. He may lead them in many categories and defend the 2-5 for them. His activity and improving game and skill should help him be a huge factor in the Desert Southwest region in 6A.
Jose Salas-Zorilla Jose Salas-Zorilla 6'0" | PG Camp Verde | 2022 State AZ Camp Verde (Pictured)
A confident guard is another player that should have be a major decider in his 3A North Central region. He will most likely lead them in points and assists and will win many games with his mind and skill from the 3pt line and his feel for the game is next level.
