We had a great weekend of basketball at the Hustle SZN Kickoff in Irvine CA. There was good competition with teams from all over the West Coast making the trip to compete. There were 4 games in 2 days. Prep Hoops put together an All Tournament Team in the Class of 2023, based on how the players competed over the 2 day event. 1st Team All Tournament: Jimmy Oladokun 6’8 Forward Damien HS, Two One Elite. Oladokun served notice that he’s a prospect that’s going to get some attention in California moving forward. The 6’8 big man played consistent basketball, and was a dominant force at times. He owned the paint on both ends of the court. He’s athletic, and runs the court. He’s not just a post player, he has 3pt range and decent handles to get into scoring position. Mike McNair 6’3 Guard/Wing Linfield Christian HS, Game Point Inland Empire 2023. McNair caught our attention on Sunday with his play. The athletic scoring guard, plays hard, and with balance. He can go get a bucket from most anywhere on the court. He has the ability to break down a defender, using quickness, and strength off the dribble. He has good lift on his mid-range jumper and knocked down a couple of 3’s at this event. He’ll rebound, and defend. You want the ball in his hands more often than not. Nathaniel Simon 6’0 Combo Guard Jurupa Hills HS. MultiLevel Basketball. Simon followed up with consistent play on Sunday following his 33pt effort in his first game on Saturday. The combo guard didn’t go for 30 but, he was still one of the better players on the court. You can’t overlook his willingness to be a facilitator. His handles, passing, and defensive efforts may go unnoticed because of his ability to score. He competes, and wants to win. [player_tooltip player_id="950892" first="George" last="Gale"] 6’6 Wing/Forward, The Branson HS. NBBA 16u. Gale plays like he’s on a mission to get something done when he’s on the court. He’s got some bounce, and a good skill set. He can play outside or in depending on the situation. He’ll knock down 3’s in the corner, or hell face up at the elbow and beat you off the dribble. He’s long, has good foot work in the post, and he runs the court. [player_tooltip player_id="985628" first="Giali" last="Chapman"] 6’3 Combo Guard, Mohave HS. Chosen Few 2023. Chapman fits the bill as a combo guard, at this event he showed his point guard skills. The 6’3 guard showed good patience as a pass first guard willing to run the teams offense, and create scoring opportunities for others. They went 4-0. The long lanky lefty has decent handles. He was effective on the penetrate, and dish. He has good vision seeing over defenders with his size. His length, and lateral movement makes him a good defender. 2nd Team: Christian Wilson 6’5 Forward, Lahara HS. MultiLevel Basketball 2023 Derek Taylor 6’7 Forward, Hilmar HS. No Fear Elite 2023. Antoine aj Robinson 5’8 Point guard, Marina HS. Two One Elite. Caleb Costello 6’0 Guard, Game Point Inland Empire 2023. [player_tooltip player_id="1041556" first="Kaeden" last="Castillero"] 6’0 Guard, Liberty HS. West Coast Select 2023. Playing up. 3rd Team: Malichi Miller 6’3 Guard, Modesto HS. No Fear Elite.
