NorCal at The Real Arizona Live 17U Newcomers

The Real Arizona Live Spring Finals in Arizona at Crismon HS, presented PH NorCal with an opportunity to see new prospects we didn't get the chance to cover during regular high school basketball. Here's a group of newcomers, and a few we haven't seen in a while.   [player_tooltip player_id='1510845' first='Juleean' last='Alias'] 6'1 2024 PG, Clutch Elite 2024, Antelope HS   He's quality guard with good ball handling skills to run the PG position. He's a willing passer with the vision to pass it up court, find shooters, and feed the post, he's fast going up the court. He has the quickness to create shots for himself, while involving others working off ball. He's capable of putting points on the board. We'll see more of him.   [player_tooltip player_id='1976007' first='Zion' last='Mba'] 6'2 2024 G, Team Commit, De Anza HS   He's a confident and athletic scoring guard. When he gets it going he's hard to guard in the open court, he has a good first step, solid handles, speed, and strength to create shot opportunities for himself. He gets good lift on the mid-range jumper, he can drop a 3 in rhythm. He was good in transition using a strong attack to get to the rim, and finish. He'll defend hard on ball.   [player_tooltip player_id='1383603' first='Izaias' last='White'] 6'1 G/W, The Academy, Lincoln HS   He's a lean prospect standing around 6'2 is kind of the x factor. The game we saw, he guarded multiple positions, used his strength to get rebounds and push the break with good passing. He used his dribble to take it strong into the paint along the baseline, and body to absorb contact while gathering himself to go up strong off two feet.   [player_tooltip player_id='1976008' first='Jordan' last='Vidaury'] 6'2 2024 SG, Clutch Elite 2024, Laguna Creek HS   Vidaury shot the ball well while we were watching, by our count he made four 3point shots. He uses his screens, made two in the corner on the catch and shoot, then one from the top of the key. He can use a dribble or two to get to his mid-range jumper. He ran the court well in transition, and used a floater into the paint.   [player_tooltip player_id='1975344' first='Jordan' last='Bucko'] 5'11 2024 PG, Bay Area Mambas Elite 17U, American HS   Bucko started out running the point. He did a good job of setting the offense, finding shooters, penetrating the gaps, feeding post, and passing it up in transition. As the game proceeded he started to be more assertive looking for his shot, he used a floater in the paint, he knocked down back to back 3's, plus one in the corner on the catch. We'll see more of him   [player_tooltip player_id='1975345' first='Kiratraj' last='Sanghera'] 6'6 2024 W/F, Bay Area Mambas Elite 17U, American HS   He has a good skill set with different ways to get a bucket, he moves well on the court when he's looking to score. He can work from different areas using his dribble along with spin moves, balance and foot work, plus he's long and plays well off two feet in the paint. He's good in transition getting to the basket for points. He's on the Wright'sWatch List.   Elijah Alexander 6'5 2024 F, Bay Area Mambas 17U, Skyline HS   He's a physical hard playing forward at this level. Most of his work is done in the paint, and going forward. He battles for rebounds, takes it up strong on the put back playing through contact. He's undersized but bumps and bangs on the defensive side to even it out a bit. He's a solid rebounder with good passing the start the break.   Armon Narweed 6'6 2024 W/F, Stockton Soldiers 17U, Kimball HS   The game we saw puts Naweed on our radar. Standing 6'6 and a wiry frame he shot the ball well from behind the arc, spotting up for catch corner 3's, coming down in transition with rhythm, and working his way along the perimeter with a good release. We won't put the shooter label on him just yet we need to see more.   Josh Devore 6'7 W/F, Team Rampage National, Novato HS   The long wing forward, needs to get stronger, but is improving as a player. He's a good court runner looking to fill lanes for transition buckets or open space to put up a 3. He has an improving handle to put it on floor for drives into the paint for jumpers, while he uses his length to plant and shoot over stretched arms. He dropped a couple of corner 3's, and helps with the rebounding.   [player_tooltip player_id='1513585' first='Gabriel' last='Williams'] 6'5 2024 F, The Academy, Mountain House HS   Williams is a solid body forward with a good touch around the basket, he takes it up strong off two feet in the paint, while hitting the short jumper from the sides. He'll get put back points. He can work from the high post with good passing and setting solid screens to free up players. He's relied upon to defend the post area, and rebound.
