If you're a high school basketball fan, hopefully you put some miles on your hybrid and took in a variety of prep games this year. The individual talent was simply outstanding, and it's reflected with the five Deseret Morning News boys basketball MVPs.

Thanks to their outstanding exploits on both sides of the court, most of the 2006-07 MVPs were also Mr. Basketball candidates — and in the case of 5A's sophomore MVP, a Mr. Basketball honor seems inevitable in a few years.

Four of the five led their teams to state titles, while the other was one of the most dominant players in the state.

Here's a list of this year's MVPs as picked by the Deseret Morning News. The first-team selections were voted on by coaches:

5A MVP

Tyler Haws, Lone Peak

Here's a scary reality for the rest of Class 5A the next two years — the best player on Lone Peak's 24-1 state championship team this year was a sophomore.

That's right, the son of former BYU player Marty Haws is only a sophomore, and he's already led the Knights to one state championship by averaging 18.8 points.

"The No. 1 thing that stands out about him is his consistency, and I think consistency is the mark of really good players," said Lone Peak coach Quincy Lewis. "He scored in double figures every single game this year."

Haws was definitely surrounded by a talented supporting cast, but he was catalyst behind all of Lone Peak's success.

He ended the year shooting 57 percent from the field, 81 percent from the free-throw line and 69 percent (16-of-23) from 3-point range, even more impressive, said Lewis, when you consider "guys were hanging all over him."

Haws is also an above average rebounder, passer and defender.

"He's a kid who really has his feet on the ground. He's very unselfish," said Lewis.

4A MVP

Chris Collinsworth, Provo

Just imagine how good this 6-foot-9 BYU-bound player would've been without an avulsion fracture to his right index finger.

Despite fracturing the finger after getting it caught in a teammate's jersey in early December, Collinsworth still led Provo to the school's 16th boys basketball title by averaging 16.6 points, including 27 in a championship game victory over Payson.

"He never lost his ability to take it to the hoop," said Provo coach Craig Drury, who didn't even know about the fracture until a month later.
