The City of San Francisco C/O 2021 NorCal players were key contributors on their respective teams. If we ever get back in the gym these are just a few of the prospects that you might take a look at. Here’s a brief run down of what they bring to the court. Ethan Jew 6’4 Saint Ignatius HS (San Francisco CA) Jew is a strong physical prospect, who has a 4.4 GPA in the classroom. A high IQ prospect, who understands his strengths, and is a good team player. At 6’4 he’s tasked with guarding the other teams best post player. He gets good leverage, is active, and hands are always extended making the bigs work for buckets. He has good footwork and uses several different moves to get his shot off in the post area. Julian Neal 6’3 Mission HS (San Francisco CA) Neal is a two sport athlete (Football) like many of the good players in the City. He’s a football player, playing basketball because he’s a good athlete. He’s an energetic player with lots of spring in his legs. He’s tough enough to guard the big guys on the block and quick enough to guard anybody on the perimeter. He excels in the open court and will dunk on you the first chance he gets off one or two feet. A good shot blocker at 6’3. 11.4 ppg, 4.9 rebs. Kyle Crawford 6’2 Combo Guard, Sacred Heart Cathedral HS (San Francisco, CA) A tough minded combo guard who competes in the WCAL.

Jaydan Aquino 5’11 Combo Guard, Urban HS (San Francisco, CA) The best 3 pt shooter in this group, with a quick release, he has to be accounted for from behind the line.
