Rankings Update (2024) PG’s

<p>PH continues to work our way through the rankings featuring top players at their positions. Some of the prospects will grow, some will play different positions with their high school, and club teams. When we observed their play at the point position, it was apparent that they could handle the spot. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1119247" first="Jamari" last="Phillips"] 6’3 of Modesto Christian HS.</p> <p><em><strong>Phillips</strong> </em>is not only NorCal’s top prospect in this 2024 Class. He has vaulted himself into the  2024 National Rankings with his play. We list him at PG. He’ll spend a lot of his time off ball knocking down 3-pointers on the catch and shoot or handling to get himself better looks. He has the tools needed to play the point. A willing passer,  good patience, nice handles, and a mid-range game. The DI offers are coming in from around the country.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1253218" first="Quinton" last="Bundage"] 5’9 of Archbishop Riordan HS.</p> <p><em><strong>Bundage</strong> </em>was impressive during the live periods with his club team. An under 6’0 guard who can handle the physical contact, and likes taking it to the big boys in the paint. He pushes hard, and fast in transition, seeing the court well to make the pass. He has good bounce on his pull-up, he’s added 3-point capabilities. He has quickness, and lateral movement to be a disruptive on ball defender.</p> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1253214" first="Mateen" last="Rafiq"] 6’0 of El Camino HS</strong></em></p> <p><em><strong>Rafiq</strong> </em>can play both guard positions.

He’s a solid ball handler, with good voice command directing the offense. He’s an excellent passer, who can get by his man off the dribble, looking to dump off to a big or spot shooters on the perimeter. He’s getting stronger and brings good energy on the defensive side of the ball.  </p> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1253242" first="Jacob" last="Rodriquez"] 5’9 of Urban HS.</strong></em></p> <p><em><strong>Rodriquez</strong></em> plays with lots of energy on the court.

He's patient enough to run the teams offense, but also likes to get his shots up as well. He gives good effort.</p> <p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><em><strong>Notable Names to look for:</strong></em></span></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1127706" first="Ahjani" last="Lewis"] 6’2 of Jesuit.</strong><br /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1256552" first="Jayden" last="Doty"] 6’0 of Dougherty </strong></p>
