Continue ReadingPH takes a deeper dive into the 2024 class rankings. Here’s a group of players who played varsity during the shortened season, logged good playing time, and were contributors to their age group on the club circuit in the spring and summer.
Jake Rodriguez Jake Rodriguez 5'11" | PG Urban | 2024 State CA-N 5’9 PG of Urban HS.
Rodriquez is a high energy guard that gives plenty of hustle on the court. He’s an aggressive on ball defender able to stay in front of his man. He’s a scoring guard who can run the teams offense, and contribute points. He pushes hard and fast in transition, he’s a good passer with a decent pull-up jumper.
Jaden Washington Jaden Washington 6'7" | PF Justin Siena | 2024 State CA-N 6’5 Forward of Siena HS.
Washington brings good size and strength to the court. He was on the varsity . He was a good post defender, passed well from the high post and made a good effort to haul in rebounds. He’s still developing his skill set. His size, length, and a good power move helps him score around the basket. He’s on the Watch List.
Cortevious Taylor Cortevious Taylor 6'6" | SF Granada | 2024 State CA-N 6’4 of Archbishop Riordan HS.
Taylor is a big wide body who can take up space on the court. He takes it up strong in the low post, and will venture outside to take jumpers that he’s comfortable taking. He’ll get rebounds, and can be physical defending in the post.
Jaeden Hutchins Jaeden Hutchins 6'8" | PF Prolific Prep | 2024 State CA-N 6’5 PF of Half Moon Bay HS.
Hutchinson takes it up strong in the post, he works well from the high post passing, and attacking with one dribble to the basket. He’ll get his fair share of rebounds, but could be more aggressive on both ends, defending and changing shots. We’ll keep an eye on him.
Jaden Woodard Jaden Woodard 6'2" | SF Sheldon | 2024 State CA-N 6’0 Guard
Woodard plays a good all-around game. He doesn’t make a lot of mistakes on the court. He’s a good rebounder for his size, with some toughness to guard bigger players, and foot speed to guard ball handlers. He’ll run the court filling lanes to get points, and he has a good move taking it to the rim off the dribble.
Jase Butler Jase Butler 6'4" | PG Branson (Ross, CA) | 2024 State #120 Nation CA-N 6’2 Guard of The Branson HS.
Butler spent a lot of time working in and around the post area on his 15u squad. Standing 6’2 he pretty much dominated the games we saw. He showed great patience, and footwork to get his shot off over taller players. The lefty has some guard skills, rebounding, and handling the ball in transition, sometimes just taking over the offense scoring in different ways. We’ll see more of him.
KJ Ramey KJ Ramey 6'2" | SG Laguna Creek | 2024 State CA-N 6’1 SG of Laguna Creek HS
A rising player in his class, he was a key player on his varsity team in the short high school season. He averaged 11 point a game and was the second leading scorer as a Freshman. He was a big contributor, as he’s a player who looks to get his points by way of the jump shot. He got his fair share of rebounds 3.3. He’s a player we’ll have to see more of.
JP Kerrigan JP Kerrigan 6'2" | PG Sacred Heart Prep | 2024 State CA-N 5’11 PG of Sacred Heart Prep HS.
Kerrigan is a hard driving player when he gets into the paint, he uses a jump stop to freeze the defender, then makes the right decision to shoot or kick it out. He’s aggressive with the ball looking to score when he has a shot, but he does have good vision and passing skills. He plays with good energy.
Richard Banks Richard Banks 6'4" | PG Weston Ranch | 2024 State CA-N 6’3 W of Weston Ranch HS
A long wiry player with some athleticism. He has a good amount of skill development to do but he looks like a player who’ll steadily improve his game if he puts the work in. He helps rebounding, runs the court and can defend multiple positions. He’s on the Watch List.
Jonathan Chapple Jonathan Chapple 6'0" | PG Oakland | 2024 State CA-N 6’0 Guard of Albany HS.
Chapple plays a good all-around floor game. He can play both guard positions. He has a quality jump shot, a good passer, and he has good body control to maneuver his way around the court. He has active hands to get deflections, and moves well on defense.
