6’3 F Elijah Seales 2020 of Morse HS (WCE 17 Silver – SD)

Athletic, strong and long. Worth tracking for future recruitment.  Blocked and changed a lot of shots. Shoots it ok with 3 range.

6’1 CG Kenneth Simpson 2021 of Chaminade HS (BTI Prospects 17)

High level feel for the game for a young prospect.

At his best when probing the lane, drawing the defense and kicking out to open shooters.

 

6’3 CG Vean Simon of Chandler HS 2020 (Team Harden 16)

Athletic combo guard. Savvy ball handler, nice first step. Fairly good shooter with 3-point range.

5’11 CG Antonio Singleton 2020 of Hesperia HS (Prodigy Elite 16U)

6’2 CG John Thompson 2020 of Viewpoint HS (Hard Work Basketball 16)

6’2 PG Brandon Whitney 2020 of Alemany HS (Team Why Not 16U)

Smooth and crafty floor general who brings a pass-first mentality and calming influence to the court. Understands when to push the pace and when to pull the ball out and run offense.

Physical and active on-ball defender.

*6’8 SF Ziaire Williams 2020 of Notre Dame HS (BTI Select 17)

One of the better long-term prospects at the event. Skill set and high basketball IQ allow him to do a little of everything at 6’8.

Has a long, wiry frame and gets knocked off balance at times when driving to the cup, but makes up for it with a crafty finishing package. Elite prospect.

 

6’1 PF Marcus Wilson of Santiago HS 2020 (ACES 16U)

-Long undersized post player who plays bigger then height suggests. Uses length to contest/block shots at rim. Very active on glass to keep plays alive for team. Can score it inside the paint. Looks very young to keep growing.

 

6’5 PF Kelvin Wright 2018 of Rancho Cucamonga HS (Prodigy Seniors)

Surprisingly light on his feet for such a physical, strong-framed prospect. Can score inside and out with a consistent mid-range jump shot and a face-up game that allows him to rip-and-go to either baseline and finish with power.

 

6’3 SG Donovan Yap 2020 of Arbor View HS (Las Vegas Prospects 16U EYBL)

Smooth off-guard with good feel as a wing scorer. Has fluid jump shooting mechanics and ability to change speeds to get by defenders and into the paint where he can score with a floater. Will benefit from added strength and weight.

 

5’9 PG Corey Yerger of Grant HS 2021 (Dream Vision 15U)
