Continue ReadingSouth County a part of PH NorCal Basketball has plenty of good underclassmen who played well during the Spring and Summer. They should be reliable contributors when the high school season starts in a couple of weeks . Here we take a look at some of the prospects we’ll be tracking during the season.
Dotta plays a good all-round game, he understands what he brings to the team. At 6’5 and growing he works hard to defend, and rebound in the post. With improved range on his jumper, he can hit the corner, and the free throw jumper, as well as score around the rim.
Highlights
A versatile type of prospect. He can have effect without scoring a lot. Standing 6’3 he has the length and strength to guard multiple positions, help with rebounding and filling lanes in transition. He has the bounce to finish above the rim, and a decent jumper to drop an open jumper.
Faatuai has size, length and a wide wingspan, with that he’s a bit on the raw side. He plays with good energy but will have to continue to develop his big man skills. He has the presence to effect play in the paint. He’ll finish keeping the ball high. He did well going from high to low post receiving and going after rebounds. He’s on the Watch List.
Roberts has a good upside. He works hard in and around the post area. He works to get rebounds using his length and body. He works well from the high post passing to slashers, shooters in the corner, setting solid screens, and hitting the paint jumper. He’s a growing body.
Highlights
He’ll be more of a shooting guard this season because of transfers. He’s a solid playmaking guard with good foot-speed and handles to get himself shot opportunities in the open court. We’ve seen him drop open 3’s in transition and pull-up off the dribble to hit mid-range shots..
Collins is a rising prospect in this class. He may get overlooked in this area, but he can play. At 6’1 he’s a solid ball handler with excellent vision and passing skills for the point guard position. He has the tools to also be a point getter using his body and speed to create opportunities for himself. He’s on the Wright’s Watch List.
