<p>If you are looking for an off the radar kid that is a bit raw but that is productive and has some skills please take a look at Gage Ontiveros. He has the size and the foundation to make a difference at the next level. Currently he will likely be on the small school radar but that can change with a big year at the club level. His team is also still alive in the playoffs and he will be a big time player that they need to play well to have success. He has some skills with his back to the basket and he has some unique finishing ability with how much movement he ha sin his body. Defensively he is good and he blocks sots and alter a lot more as well. He is stronger over his left shoulder but he does keep the ball high nd he can finish near the rim. He can still work on his body and his strength. A lot of upside. </p>

<p>One of the most underrated when it comes to IQ, he knows how to work the game and get calls and open looks. Really like how absorbs contact because he can elevate and hang in the air to finish. His shooting really opens lanes up. and he has been attacking the rim more than he ever has. One of the best scorers in the state and he is coming through when he needs to. </p>

<p>One of the players that will hurt you in a hurry and that is exactly what he is doing in the playoffs. He gets into a rhythm and he is hard to stop. Liam shoots the ball really well from deep but he does everything for his team. He rebounds, attacks and shoots. This is a kid that yoiu can count on when it comes to getting a bucket. Defensively the kid has been guarding whoever. One of the best motors out West. </p>

<p>This kid plays with speed. He has been able to get out on the break and ahead of the pack and at times he showcases his leaping ability. He has a great mid-range feel and he elevates on his jumpers and is able to use that fadeaway to get tough buckets. He could be a good off the ball guard at a small school. Even when you know he is attacking he is hard to stay in front of. </p>

Subscribing doesn't change who the Scout covers, it changes who gets to see it.
