PHOENIX - The Nike Desert Classic could be called the end of the road for Arizona senior basketball players Reggie Geary, Corey Williams, Ben Davis and Joseph Blair, but after some impressive performances in the four-day event, this is more likely to be only the beginning.

Blair and Geary were elected to the All-Tournament Team after their respective teams played each other for the tournament championship on Saturday night. Blair shined for the winning Pacific team, scoring 16 points and pulling down 12 rebounds with one assist and two steals in 29 minutes of play.

"It's been an exciting week, full of anxiety, that's for sure," Blair said. "I've been looking forward to this for some number of months now, so it's good to get it behind me. This is just a building block for me. It's a step in the right direction. This is something to wake people up and tell them that I'm still here."

Geary led the Midwest team with 17 points and six assists with two steals and three rebounds. In the tournament, he averaged 9.6 points, 4.3 assists, three rebounds, four steals and one block. He also won the slam dunk contest with a combination of powerful windmill dunks and flashy bounce and catch dunks.

"I had five good days," Geary said. "I definitely know I can show more. I can improve in some areas. I can take care of the ball more and consistently knock down the open jumper. (Saturday night) was the first night I relaxed and said, 'Reggie, stop worrying about all this and just go out there and shoot the ball like you know how to do it,' and I did that."

Williams, Blair's teammate on the Pacific team, did not play because of a sprained ankle. Williams averaged 10.5 points and six rebounds in the first two games. His performance raised his stock as a player, and has increased his chances of being invited to Chicago in June with Geary, Blair and Davis for the second round of NBA evaluations. Geary and Blair will be among the 100 or so players invited to the Chicago camp, while Davis and Williams will have to wait and see if they'll get a spot.

"It was a great week," Williams said. "It was everything I thought it would be. You wish you could do this kind of thing more than once, but it is a once in a lifetime kind of thing."

Davis, whom many believed to be the top prospect of the four seniors, played for the woeful Atlantic team which failed to win even one game. In the three games he averaged 10 points and 6.3 rebounds with three assists and three blocks. In Saturday night's game against the Central team, he scored eight points with six rebounds and two blocks.

"We went out and had fun," Davis said. "There were a lot of good guys here. Everybody here had been playing against top-notch players since high school. You can't show (the scouts) everything here. The main thing is to try to play hard."
