Arizona’s all-time greatest boys basketball players
No. 1 Marvin Bagley III, Tempe Corona del Sol, 2015 | Yes, he only played one high school season in Arizona. But he did grow up in Tempe, And, if I’m going to add him to the list, there is only one place to put the 6-foot-11, 18-year-old.

No. 2 Mike Bibby, Phoenix Shadow Mountain, 1996 | Bagley bounces him out of the No. 1 spot. But Bibby’s full body of work is better than anybody who ever put on a uniform in Arizona preps.

No. 3 Richard Jefferson, Phoenix Moon Valley, 1998 | I’m keeping him at 3, moving ahead of Sean Elliott. That what happens when someone still is in the NBA after all these years. Incredible athlete with charisma to boot.

No. 6 DeAndre Ayton, Phoenix Hillcrest Prep, 2017 | I debated back and forth whether to add players from a prep academy that is a different animal from the AIA. But with the landscape so different now than in the pre-2000 era, I feel Ayton needs to get in there.

No. 7 Mark Alarie, Phoenix Brophy Prep, 1982 | Great outside shooter who could control the paint, Duke plucked this 6-foot-8 forward out of Phoenix to be part of a golden era in Durham, N.C., that hasn’t let up since.

Former Arizona high school standout Terrell Stoglin went on a tirade during a game in the Liga Profesional de Baloncesto, the top professional basketball league in Venezuela.
Stoglin, who shined at Tucson Santa Rita High and later at the University of Maryland, took the ball out of the hands of the referee and punted it into the stands during a game Monday for Trotamundos B.B.C.
The guard then ripped off his jersey and threw it toward an official, before giving a middle-finger salute to the crowd as he was leaving the court.

Stoglin left Maryland after averaging 21.6 points per game in 2011-12.
He declared for the NBA draft that summer after learning he would be suspended for the entirety of 2012-13 for “a violation of the University of Maryland Student-Athlete Code of Conduct.”
He didn’t get drafted and has also played professionally in Lebanon, Greece, France, Italy, Turkey and Ukraine.
He won a state championship with Santa Rita in 2010 and scored a Tucson-record 2,911 points with 96 wins as a four-year starter.
In 2017, azcentral sports’ Richard Obert ranked Stoglin No. 35 on his list of Arizona’s Top 50 high school boys basketball players of all-time.
Stoglin was also ranked No. 3 on Obert’s list of Southern Arizona’s all-time greatest boys basketball players in 2016.
Following Stoglin’s ejection, Trotamundos B.B.C issued an apology on Twitter to fans.
