Player Spotlight

Mookie Cook returns for his second season at AZ Compass Prep. The high flying forward brings energy and a winning mentality to this year's team. Cook has a few seasons under his belt playing at a super high level, this year he needs to be a leader for this team. Cook has outstanding athleticism and rebounding skills. With improved ball handling abilities, it allows Cook to attack the rim off the dribble and create opportunities for his teammates. Defending is also a great skill that Cook has. He can defend positions 1-4. He has quick feet that allow him to stay in front of all opponents and make them uncomfortable. Cook is set to have a monster senior season before heading to Oregon.

One of the newer members to this year's AZ Compass team is 4-Star North Carolina commit Zayden High. The 6’9 forward is coming off most likely the biggest stock rising grassroots season out of any player in the country. High can score the ball from all three levels at a very successful and efficient rate. His outside shot gets better every time he steps on the floor. He is great at using the pump fake, getting his defender off the ground, and attacking the basket. Around the rim, High is also very good. He can use his body and strength to position himself to score on the block. Like Cook, High is very versatile on defense. He can guard multiple positions and cause turnovers. Before arriving at North Carolina, High will have a chance to impact winning at AZ Compass Prep.
