One of the top overall prospects from last weekend’s Section 7 Tournament proved just how dominant a guard prospect that he is, as Cesar Chavez High School’s talented 6-foot-4, 180-pound rising junior guard Ty Ty Washington took center stage with his high school program and demanded the attention of college coaches in attendance. Washington has been regarded as one of the elite guard prospects in the state for some time, and now, as he prepares to enter his senior season, many college programs are now lining up to land the gifted combo-guard prospect for the future.

One of my favorite prospects this spring that I witnessed in action was Paradise Valley High School’s skilled and rugged 6-foot-7 rising junior wing prospect Moses Demalek. Demalek emerged as one of the better prospects in Arizona’s 2021 Class this spring with numerous strong performances – proving his overall value amongst the class. Demalek is different, in the fact that he is a very skilled and athletic wing prospect with an ability to score the basketball from many different areas of the floor, while also being able to facilitate for others. He is a tough, hardnosed defender as well, his…

The 2020 Class is absolutely loaded with talent, and Garland was once regarded among the best in the class after numerous top performances early in his high school career. But after failing to see much playing time on a very experienced Sunnyslope ballclub as a sophomore,…
