<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops NorCal has updated the class of 2024 rankings. We've been working our way through the positions of our top prospects in the class. Here we have the forwards and power forwards in the 2024 class. Some of these prospects will play the post, others may ultimately play different positions down the road. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1119260' first='Marcel' last='Pierre Louise'] 6'6 of Head-Royce HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He's one of the better rebounding forwards in this class. He gives good effort on both sides hitting the boards. He defends bigger players in the post, he has good strength and will make you work for points in the paint. His offense can use some polishing, never the less, he has the strength to be an effective scorer in the post, while he works to improve his shot away from the basket. He does have a short jumper he can hit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1253235' first='Manasse' last='Itete'] 6'6 of Modesto Christian HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> <strong>Itete</strong>, he's a rock hard to get around, and hard to move. He'll probably play football at the next level, nevertheless he adds depth and another body to man the paint for the top ranked team in NorCal. He'll be a problem for opponents as long as he's locked in. His strength is defending, and rebounding. He's a big target in the paint, he'll get buckets. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1119284' first='Marcus' last='Washington'] 6'5 of Valley Christian HS. San Jose.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long arm prospect who's good around the basket, he has a nice touch using the back board, he uses good angles. He can hit the short corner jumper, and finish strong along the baseline off the dribble. He's been working to improve his game away from the basket, he's putting up his shots from the corner, handling more after rebounding, and using a dribble or two, to get to the rim. He's a finisher in transition. He's and excellent rebounder and has some shot blocking qualities. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1119263' first='Anthony' last='Lacy'] 6'6 of Oakland HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He's an active player when it comes to going after rebounds. He's long, has a quick jump and goes out of his space to haul them in. He has some shot blocking qualities, an excellent court runner looking to complete the play in transition, either finishing his shot or following up a missed shot. Lacy has developed a short jumper, he can use a dribble or two to attack the rim from the high post and the baseline. He's finishing better.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1253221' first='Jaeden' last='Hutchinson'] 6'7 of Half Moon Bay HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Hutchinson </strong>continues to get stronger and improve his overall fundamentals. He's not too far from a breakout season once he figures out he's stronger and more athletic than the players who are defending him. He's good at the high post, he can hit the jumper, use a dribble or two to get to the rim. He'll get rebounds, and change some shots. He's a capable scorer on the low block. He has the body, and the tools to effect the game in the post area right now, when he figures that out, his stock will rise.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1382887' first='Kentrell' last='Kelly'] 6'6 of Monterey Trail HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He's strong with some athleticism. He's active in the post area, scoring, rebounding, and defending most of the time. He takes it strong to the rim, he can hit the jumper in the paint, and finish in traffic. He has the body and the tools to effect a game if he stays engaged. He can handle a bit, in the open court, he run well, and can finish above the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1382882' first='Steven' last='Emeneke'] 6'9 of Woodside Priory HS</strong> <strong>(Featured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long prospect who's made progress. He has an improving skill set for the post position, though he has to continue to work on the fundamentals of the game. He's a legitimate 6'9 prospect. With increased strength, to better hold his own in the paint, he can be an effective rim protector with time. With his size he'll get most of the rebounds, and score in the paint at this level. He has a developing 3pt shot from the top of the arc. He makes a good effort to rebound, and use one dribble to clear traffic, then give it up. He runs the middle of the court most of the time. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1382883' first='Jalai' last='Rencher'] 6'7 of Skyline HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A solid body prospect who works hard in and around the post area. He's active on the offensive boards, and strong on the put-back, gathering himself, and using patience often drawing fouls. He can hit the paint jumper. He has the strength, and the body to be an effective low post defender at this level. His productivity should tick up this season. He can be a double, double prospect using his size, strength, and determination.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1253233' first='Jaden' last='Washington'] 6'7 of Justin Siena HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He's a prospect with an improving set of skills to play on the perimeter. At 6'7 he seems determined to play out on the perimeter. He has work to do but, he does looks to shoot his shot from the 3 when he's open. He's done some post work, he's a good passer from the high and low post, a good turnaround jumper in the key. He's a growing body some tools to work with. With continued development we could see his productivity go up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1382860' first='Marcellus' last='Jackson'] 6'6 of Capital Christian HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jackson </strong>has a good size body and he jumps well when he's right. He's a prospect that goes after blocks, he has good timing, goes up high, and straight up. He can use his body and strength along with good hops off two feet to be an effective point getter in the paint. He's a solid rebounder who'll get more than his share with effort. He's an improving prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1383576' first='Seamus' last='Deely'] 6'5 of San Ramon Valley HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He's a guard in a forwards body. He understands the game and is effective in what he does. He's fundamentally sound with an improving skill set, not real fast, but strong with good movement. He handles, and passes with good vision in transition. He can score, and pass from high post, and inside the key, he'll hit a 3. He has strength, and a solid low base to keep post players from backing him down too deep. He'll help on the boards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1256639' first='Wesley' last='Payne'] 6'6 of Central Catholic HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Payne </strong>has an expanding skill set that adds balance, and improves his overall game, not just in the post. He's improved his shot from the 3pt line, sometimes coming down court in rhythm to shoot it. He's fundamentally sound with good footwork in the post to score. A jump hook, drop step, and his paint jumper gives his options in the post. He rebounds, and runs the court with good effort.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
