I took in 3 full games and a half of one game on this night and I may be back for their playoffs.
Here were the junior standouts from the eight teams viewed:
Vyctorius Miller Vyctorius Miller 6'5" | CG AZ Compass Prep | 2024 #28 Nation CA-S AZ Compass Prep
A known offensive weapon scores it a variety of ways. He hits the catch three and will pull-up off the dribble. He has a different gear then most with his right or left hand into the lane and will make tough shots versus oncoming defenders. He goes through stretches making it look very easy. He may lead their team in scoring this season and next.
Marcus Allen Marcus Allen 6'6" | SF Norland (FL) | 2024 State #56 Nation FL AZ Compass Prep
A top of the food chain defender will take on the task of usually the toughest offensive player. He has long arms, good upper body strength and quickness. He is an out of area rebounder and will score it a few ways. He take very few strides to get to the basket and will flush it down. He will score on put backs and hit perimeter jumpers. He is their ultimate glue guy this season.
Jovan Milicevic Jovan Milicevic 6'9" | PF Canyon International Academy | 2024 State #100 Nation AZ Dream City International (Pictured)
Skill, skill and skill. One of the the most skilled power forwards in the West Coast proves it nearly every game. He has a pretty stroke from the arc and can step back on his defender with the Dirk. He is a very good passer and will use advanced post footwork inside the paint.
Ibrahim Souare Ibrahim Souare 6'10" | C Dream City Christian International | 2024 #207 Nation AZ Dream City International
An athletic marvel flies in the open court. One of the rare prospects with true pro bounce. It seems like he steps on a spring and explodes up to dunk the ball, grab rebounds or block a shot out of his area. He uses his fluidity to defend on the perimeter covering a lot of gound. He compliments Milicevic perfectly.
Gerrell Trapps Gerrell Trapps 6'1" | PG Peoria Manual | 2024 State IL AZ Compass Prep Black
A physical guard can score it plus make plays. He has a tight crossover with a strong build and long arms. The lefty can hit the catch three and is tough getting downhill. He is fierce on the ball defensively. He seems to get into paint at will with build/handle and strength. He will drive and kick and is an unselfish player.
Steven Tippit Steven Tippit 5'9" | PG Phhoenix Prep | 2024 State AZ Skyline Prep Select
One of the better shooting performances of the night. He has elite range for a high school player and when he is hot, he rattles them off in bunches. He has a super quick trigger and will shoot it off the bounce or catch. He is undersized but extremely crafty and knows when to launch the shot. He sees the court but is usually looking to fire away.
Liam Bunker Liam Bunker 6'2" | PG Skyline Prep | 2024 State AZ Skyline Prep Select
Another week, another good performance. He is a pure point guard who plays the right way. He moves without the ball, cuts when he should and consistently makes smart reads to teammates.
TJ Clark TJ Clark 6'5" | SF Sequoia Charter | 2024 State AZ Millennium
One of their couple transfers is Clark from Mountain Pointe. He is a long defensive minded wing forward who is very versatile to defend multiple positions for the Tigers. Offensively, he can hit the catch three or straight line drive to the basket.
