Saturday June 25, PH NorCal made the trip to Sacramento, CA for the Sheldon-Franklin Summer Shootout. The event was June 24-26, with multiple teams and multiple locations. PH spent the day at Sheldon. Here are the standouts from the Sheldon gym. [player_tooltip player_id="1498198" first="Nazere" last="Fisher"] 6’5 2023 W/F of Rosemont HS A long active player with a good game for both the inside and out. He was able to use his length to score points in the paint, he has a good touch off the back board, and a good second jump for rebound put backs, and tap ins. He has a decent set of handles to effectively get into the paint for lay-ups or jumpers in the paint. Will Akerman 6’4 2023 Guard of Davis HS Akerman is a confident shooter with a good stroke from mid-range and behind the 3pt line. He didn’t hesitate to shoot it if he was open. His step back 3 went in a few times, he did okay on the drive and kick-out. He’s good in transition filling the lanes for lay-ups or looking to spot up for a 3 in rhythm. Jeremiah Collins 6’2 2024 G/F of Pittsburg HS The activity we see on the court from Collins may not always show up on the stat sheet. He’s versatile prospect, with lengthy arms and footspeed to defend several positions. He has an improving set of skills on the offense, that will help him create more scoring opportunities for himself, and others. He’s a willing passer. He defends, rebounds, will block a few shots, and run the court. He’s on the Wright’s Watch List. Zamani Mashinini-Nigl 6’4 2025 of Sheldon HS He’s one of the taller players on this roster and tasked with guarding post players. He does a good job of moving his feet, using his body, staying wide, and having arms up to defend players in the paint, he boxes out and goes hard for rebounds on both ends. His offense is in the development stages, but he does work for rebound put backs, and transition buckets. Alden McCabe 6’7 2024 F/C of Davis HS. He’s a prospect that moves okay on the court, he takes up space in the paint. His foot-work is a work in progress, but he was effective working his way around the post area. He set solid screens for shooters to get open, his passing from the high post found cutters going towards the basket. He made himself a target in the post. He’s a player that needs some seasoning, but has good fundamentals. Luke Isaak 6’0 2025 CG of San Ramon Valley HS He’s an improving guard that makes good decisions on the court. He’s a good ball mover to keep the offense going in half-court sets. He did well running to his spots, and filling lanes in transition. His handles, and vision were good passing the ball up court. He up spots well in the corners, and on the perimeter looking for his 3pt shot that goes in. Tyler Rattler 6’0 2024 G of Sheldon HS He’s a fast and speedy guard with superb handles. He’s tough to guard when he gets it going. His burst on the first step allows him to go by defenders and into the paint from different angles for floaters, paint jumpers, and dump-offs . He makes strong passes up court. He has the speed and quick hands to be a disruptor on the defensive side of the ball. Max Vanlaningham 6’8 2026 F/C of Woodcreek HS The PH NorCal 2026 class is still developing as we go into the Summer. Vanlaningham caught our attention in June starting at center for his high school team Woodcreek. He’s ready to help this team on the defensive side of the ball right now. His length, and activity in the paint was noticeable. He has good awareness, and reaction going after blocks and rebounds, he has some rim protection in his game. On the offensive side of the ball, it looks like he’s in the process of developing a versatile set of skills that will make him an effective inside-out prospect. We’ll see more him.
