Jordan Bobo Jordan Bobo 6'7" | SF Grant | 2023 State CA-N 6’7 Forward/Wing, Grant HS Sacramento, CA
Bobo has made steady progress as he develops his skills as a perimeter player. Standing at 6’7, he’s an improved ball handler in the open court. He seems to know what he wants to do on court. He’s a bit stronger, he runs the court better. He’s developing his range to where he’s shooting 3’s from the corners, and wings. He’s starting to challenge the bigger players on his way to the basket.
Yaqub Mir Yaqub Mir 6'3" | SG Granite Bay | 2023 State CA-N 6’2 Combo guard, Granite Bay HS. Granite Bay, CA.
Mir has been a steady performer, as he continues to raise his stock. He has a good skill set that allows him to be and effective player at either guard spot. The high IQ player, plays within the flow of the game, makes good decisions with the ball, and he has good shot selection. He’s a capable scorer, with good range on his jumper. He’s bulked up a bit to handle the contact on the drive.
Darius Smith Darius Smith 6'3" | SF Modesto Christian | 2023 CA-N 6’3 Forward/Wing, Modesto Christian HS. Modesto, CA
Smith is a solid body prospect who’s willing to do whatever it takes to helps his team. He’s an active player, aggressively going after rebounds, on both ends. When he’s not rebounding, he’ll run the floor looking to finish the play, or get a rebound for a strong put back in the paint. He’s effective along the baseline using drives, and short corner jumpers for scores. He’s a good defender.
Logan Steuben Logan Steuben 6'8" | PF Inderkum | 2023 State CA-N 6’8 Power Forward/Center, Inderkum HS. Sacramento, CA.
Steubon is a rising prospect in the class. He still has a ways to go in development on the offensive side of the ball, but he has a solid body and he moves good on the court, he’s active on the defensive end, and shows good shot blocking ability, as well as being a good post defender. He’ll rebound with good outlets, and he hustles up the court.
Kaleb Allison Kaleb Allison 6'1" | PG Pinole Valley | 2023 State CA-N 6’0 Point Guard, Pinole Valley HS. Pinole CA.
Allison is an athletic prospect who can operate from either guard spot. The lefty has good hops, he’s speedy with superb handles. He often gets by defenders with a burst on his way to a finish at the rim, or a mid-range jumper. Allison is hard to deal with in the open court, if he gets an opening the 6’0 lefty will throw it down.
Colton Dukes Colton Dukes 6'1" | SG Atwater | 2023 State CA-N 6’0 Shooting Guard, Atwater HS. Atwater CA.
The shooting guard has to be accounted for on the court. He was the second leading scorer, and rebounder on his high school team with 16.5 ppg, and 5.5 rebounds respectively. He has a good shot from 3pt line knocking down 6 in one game last season. Dukes makes good decisions when he has the ball. He moves well, without the ball, and is good on the catch and shoot.
