Transfers to Skyline high school from Eastside Catholic. He is a player who will continue to improve his game, and has shown some flashes of what is to come. He is good in the open floor, utilizing his athletic ability to finish well around the basket. He has good quickness and creativity in the lane to score over bigger defenders. He can shoot it off the dribble and if he continues to improve that jump shot, he can be really effective scoring from all levels. Lots of room for growth, something that we should see sooner rather than later.
Highlights
He will be attending Red Rock Basketball Academy in Las Vegas after playing his freshman year at Lincoln. Here’s a kid who will make some huge strides as he continues to grow his game. He plays with a ton of confidence for his age, he wasn’t afraid to see big minutes this season at Lincoln. He handles the ball like a seasoned veteran, and can break down the defense with excellent quickness and craftiness. He is a true floor general who understands the game. He defends extremely well with his quickness. He has made improvements on his jumper, and that will get there as he continues to work. I see him as a player who has the intangibles to become a great player. He is already a good player but he will come out a great one. I have no doubts, I’ll refer back in a few years. He has the dawg in him as well, which is a big part of it.
Transfers to Highline from Tahoma. He has a lot of talent on the offensive end of the floor. His game is intriguing with athleticism and size on the perimeter, combined with the potential to be an all level scorer. He can create off the dribble to get himself free. He can be explosive getting to the rim and plays at his own speed to set up the defense. He is a breakout candidate next season as he should get the chance to be a big part of the offense at Highline.
Highlights
Isaiah will be attending O’dea after transferring from Lincoln where he was a big factor in winning the 3A PCL this season. He has had a productive off-season playing in the Pangos best of So Cal Showcase, and made the top 80 at the Cross Roads Invitational in Indianapolis. He has improved his scoring, and shows a better shooting touch to go with his already explosive downhill game. His pull-up jumper is lightning quick and he can pull it from anywhere. He always shows up on the defensive end as an elite defender with excellent lateral quickness. His size and length at the guard position, along with the athleticism make him one of the more high ceiling guards in the area.
