With still so much uncertainty surrounding the high school basketball season in the states of California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Arizona, we’re taking a closer look at some of the west coast prospects flying under-the-radar in the class of 2022. [player_tooltip player_id="748742" first="CJ" last="Bellamy"], Eastvale Roosevelt (CA) - Bellamy is lightning quick combo guard whose energy and speed forces the defense on its heels in the open court. The 5-foot-9 junior can heat up offensively in a hurry and score in bunches when on a roll. Bellamy can hit the stop and pop jumper from the mid-range and three point levels or blow-by his defender and get into the paint on the break or in the half-court setting. [player_tooltip player_id="748761" first="Jack" last="McCloskey"], Santa Margarita (CA) - McCloskey came into high school with high expectations but multiple injuries have limited his ability to show what he can bring to the table in game situations. The 6-foot-5 guard still possesses a ton of upside with his long, wiry frame and all-around skill-set on the offensive end as a guy who can stroke the three-point shot or initiate offense with high IQ and a good feel for the game. [player_tooltip player_id="970258" first="Trey" last="Wilborn"], Edison (CA) - When Wilborn got eligible for Edison after his transfer from Mater Dei, he immediately became an integral piece to the Chargers program. The 6-foot-4 lefty wing is a smooth three-point shooter off the catch and averaged just under 10 points per game, while hitting on 35 percent from deep. We were excited to see Wilborn get a full season of varsity basketball under his belt, but the holding pattern in California has prevented that. [player_tooltip player_id="971194" first="Anthony" last="Scott"], Torrey Pines (CA) - Scott is another guy who possesses a ton of upside, but we haven’t been able to see the strides he’s made during the offseason. The rangy and athletic 6-foot-6 wing showed promise as a multi-positional defender who can get out and fill the lane in transition. Scott showed that he is of the slasher and finisher variety who can stretch the floor off the catch from the perimeter.
