Cash is electric in transition, explosive off the bounce, and crafty with the rock, this young guard thrives in a fast-paced game that fits his energetic style like a glove. With a smooth, confident handle and a dynamic middy, he doesn't just attack defenders; he dissects them. Whether he’s pulling up off the dribble or attacking downhill with the wicked change-of-pace bursts, Cash is fearless with the ball and cold-blooded in how he uses it. His ability to play at full speed while keeping control is rare for a player his age. Add a fierce competitive edge and a growing feel for tempo and spacing, and you’ve got one of the most exciting 2029 prospects in Arizona.
His biggest improvement has come from deep. That jumper, once inconsistent, now lands with the kind of regularity that forces defenders to step up, giving him room to blow by them off the dribble. Cash’s offseason is all about acceleration on both ends of the floor. He’s locked in on getting quicker laterally to become a menace on defense and adding speed without the ball to become even more dangerous in transition. He's also zeroed in on polishing his left hand, making sure defenders can’t cheat one direction. The fire that fuels it all is noise. Loud crowds. Loud benches. That raw energy pulls another level out of him. And with high school varsity just around the corner, he’s chasing the ultimate goal of Ibeing a four-year letterman, earning his stripes early, and never taking his foot off the gas.
This summer, Cash is playing with @strike_az, and continues to roll with Arizona Driven, where he’s already made his mark. The plan is to get better every game, every practice, every rep. Every tournament is a proving ground and a launchpad. He’s looking forward to fall and hyped to play against bigger, older competition that will push his game even further. His AAU journey is about more than trophies, it’s about preparation for that varsity leap, and he’s approaching it with intensity.
Off the court, Cash finds joy in quiet moments, whether it’s with family, watching film, or just reflecting on what’s next. He stays focused on becoming better, not just as a player but as a teammate and a young man who carries himself with purpose. What keeps him steady through adversity is his growing maturity, knowing it’s part of the game, and he faces it with composure. That confidence didn’t just appear. It was built, word by word, with powerful guidance from his coach: “Don’t feel bad for the kids that don’t put in the work you do.” That reminder stays with him. Every drill. Every practice. Every moment on the floor.
I assess that Cash plays with serious pace and a nonstop motor. His outside shot is now a dependable weapon, and his ability to shift gears in space makes him hard to stay in front of. He’s unselfish, a tone-setter, and has a court sense that allows him to attack when it matters most. He keeps defenders honest with his mid-range touch and is starting to use angles and hesitation more creatively.
At the next level, Cash brings impact as a scoring guard who can shift momentum with quick decisions and fearless drives. His shot is compact and getting more efficient, which will stretch defenses and open the floor for others. He’ll be a key piece in transition-heavy systems or up-tempo styles that demand quick decision-making. With continued growth in defensive quickness and ball speed, he’s the type of player who can help set the tone for his high school squad and evolve into a potential college program’s identity with a high motor, relentless effort, and a love for the game that shows up in every possession.
Moving forward, expect fire, growth, and a player who’s not just going to show up; he’s going to show out. With four years ahead to build at the high school level, Cash is positioning himself to become one of the most dynamic guards in his class. He’s still rising, still learning, and still hungry. The future isn’t just bright, it’s blazing. Get on this train now as it's only going to pick up steam, and he will be a name out of AZ you will want to remember. Stay tuned.
