I spoke with Max Lopez, a senior leader for SCHS MBB, following the final game of Section 7. We discussed the process of getting here, staying healthy during the stretch, and what’s on the horizon for Salpointe this summer. AllSportsTucson.com

I love Carter Bryant, just don’t know how much time he is going to need to develop into the type of player the Suns NEED at the moment or within the next couple years. Devin Booker isn’t waiting too long to compete again.

Came close to winning a national title with Arizona his first season in 2016 and took the Wildcats back to Omaha in 2021 right before he left to LSU. It's similar to Larry Smith leaving to USC and taking the Trojans to three consecutive Rose Bowls right after he was hired there.

Bonding now, so far ahead of the season, can mean a whole lot to where this team is at with its chemistry in the end especially with practically an entirely new roster and coaching staff.

Man, that was hard to watch. Hoping the calf injury is not serious but it didn't look good judging from Tyrese Haliburton's reaction. Love Haliburton's game and leadership qualities.

Indiana has to guard against forcing things with Haliburton out. Play within the framework of the team. McConnell and Mathurin will be key with more responsible roles.

I guess it's okay now to shove off a defender to take an uncontested shot. Have seen SGA do that numerous times in the finals. That's a serious advantage.

The youngest of talented Rivero brothers -- Dariel -- learned today that he is on the USA Baseball 12U tryout roster for the World Cup that will be played in late July in Taiwan. Carlo Rivero earned MVP honors last fall for the 12U team, leading it to the World Cup Americas

Keep in mind that TJ McConnell is 33 years old and he's playing his best basketball -- 16 points in 20 minutes in Game 7 of the NBA Finals. The average age when an NBA career ends is 28.3 years old. Nobody thought he would be in the NBA past 23 years old, when he went undrafted

The ABC cameras followed TJ McConnell off the court all the way to the outside of the Pacers' locker room, where he embraced Tyrese Haliburton. He captured the attention and respect of the world with his performance. An emotional moment.

TJ McConnell is something else!! The amount of heart that he plays with truly is some of the most I think I’ve seen from a player … which likely attributes to all of this!! #BearDown

Oklahoma City Thunder star Jalen Williams comes from the same high school program as Arizona high-profile recruit Koa Peat -- Perry High School in Gilbert. When Perry played at Tucson High last season, coach Sam Duane said this of Peat: ā€œHis IQ of basketball is off the charts. I
