2023 Watchlist: More to Track (IV)

2023 Watchlist: More to Track (IV)

<p>The Prep Hoops SoCal staff has spent the last few weeks digging through notes to find all the standout freshmen performers from the 2019-20 season. While it’s still too early to put together a fair numerical ranking for these young prospects, we did come up with an 85-player watchlist of guys to keep an eye on over the next three years.</p> <p>Last month, we posted a four-part series of who could potentially crack the top 5-10 spots if we did decide to publish a true ranking, based on first-year performance and long-term potential. Below we take a look at more players to track over the next three seasons.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="994926" first="Angelo" last="Gil"]</strong>, Mission Bay - Gil has really nice feel at the point guard position for a prospect of his age. He balances scoring and distributing well, plays with good pace and can hit the open jumper when defenders go under the screen. The 6-foot-1 PG plays with good pace in transition and has flashed a high basketball IQ throughout his young career.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="994915" first="Derrius" last="Carter-Hollinger"]</strong>, Foothills Christian - If bloodlines are any indication of how Carter-Hollinger will progress, Division I programs should be eyeing the young wing forward. His oldest brother, Derrick, completed a standout freshman season at Montana, while his other brother, Derrien, is a rising senior with plenty of collegiate options to choose from. Derrius played spot minutes off the bench at Foothills last season and showed a solid basketball IQ to go along with his size and length measureables. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="994957" first="Elijah" last="Nelson"]</strong>, Fountain Valley - Nelson served a "glue guy" type of role for the Barons in his freshman campaign. The 6-foot-1 shooting guard made his biggest impact on the defensive end as a player who communicated well and guarded his position with success. Nelson showed flashes of his offensive prowess as a slasher and finisher in transition with good vertical athleticism.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="994971" first="Jeremiah" last="Whitmore"]</strong>, Corona Centennial - Though he didn’t see a ton of varsity minutes last season, Whitmore has intriguing long-term potential as a wing/forward because of his size, strength, athleticism and high motor. The 6-foot-5 forward has a well-built frame, rebounds his area and runs the floor and finishes in transition. Whitmore will be an interesting one to track to see how his body and skill develop over the next three years.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="994948" first="Kenny" last="Manzi"]</strong>, Rolling Hills Prep - Manzi has a lot of potential as a wing/power forward prospect. He’s long and wiry at 6-feet-7 with good hands, touch and quick leaping ability around the basket. Manzi showed good court awareness last season, especially when clearing out to the short corner to open driving lanes for guards, then cutting back to the paint for drop-off passes to finish. </p>
