The 2023 NorCal Rankings have been updated. Here we take a look at the top shooting guards in this class.   [player_tooltip player_id='1232327' first='Andrej' last='Stojakovic'] 6'6 of Jesuit HS   The new #1 in NorCal showed off his basketball skills at the highest level of competition running with the Compton Magic on the Adidas Circuit this spring and summer. He can put points on the board in different ways, he has good vision and passing skills to involve teammate. He'll knock down the jump shot from mid-range all the way past the 3pt line with consistency. He has high major offers.   [player_tooltip player_id='950890' first='Courtney' last='Anderson'] Jr 6'5 of Dublin HS   Anderson Jr has always been on an upward path. He continues to grow his game and add tools that will benefit him at the next level. The athletic guard is bigger, stronger, and is gaining his confidence. He's added some balance to his game. We know he can put points on the board, he's hard to deal with in open in space. We've seen an uptick in his ability to defend, and help on the boards at a high level.   [player_tooltip player_id='1380756' first='Jalen' last='Glenn'] 6'5 of Inderkum HS   Glenn is a versatile type player who can play positions 1 thru 3 at any given time during a game. He's a point producer off the ball. He can score it off the dribble creating for himself, using a mid-range jumper that goes down often, and the 3pt shot. He's raised his stock by doing other things, converting in transition, helping facilitate, having vision and passing skills. He'll help on the boards, and defend multiple positions.   [player_tooltip player_id='1380902' first='Varick' last='Lewis'] 6'3 of Monterey Trail HS   Lewis can probably fall into the combo guard, he can handle and run point. He seems most effective looking to put points on the board at this level. He has a good looking jump shot with lift that goes in at a good rate, from off the bounce at mid-range, and from behind the 3pt line. He can drop 30 on any given night at this level.   [player_tooltip player_id='1336142' first='Shane' last='O'Reilly'] 6'3 of Campolindo HS   The classic shooting guard who looks to put points on the board with catch and shoot jumpers, coming down in rhythm for transition 3's, and moving without the ball coming off screens with good foot-work and a quick release. With that being said he's improved his ball handling this spring and summer to add balance and scoring off the dribble.   [player_tooltip player_id='1254106' first='Austin' last='Ito'] 6'1 of Woodcreek HS   Standing at 6'1 maybe, Ito falls into the shooting guard category simply because he can flat out shoot the ball. We've seen him in multiple settings and the one thing he did consistently was knock down open 3's. As long as he's getting to his spots, not fatigued and open there's a good chance he's going to knock it down. He's one of the better shooters in NorCal.   [player_tooltip player_id='1253099' first='Jake' last='Olson'] 6'4 of Oak Ridge HS   Olson has shown us he can put points on the board throughout the spring and summer. He's an improved ball handler enabling him to create some of his own shot opportunities off the dribble. We've noted that Olsen is a player you want to make sure he gets touches in tight ball games, and late in the game.
