Serra High School in Gardena, CA has been playing host to their fall league each week since last month. A full slate of games is held on Tuesday nights with some top talent and teams participating. I was able to attend on Tuesday, Oct. 24 and here’s a look at some additional top prospects I saw.
1. Kaleb Kearse – Serra 2026
Kearse is a natural point guard who is comfortable with getting his own shot. He attacks the paint relentlessly despite being a smaller guard. Good handles and a solid crossover. Uses hesitations to get past defenders. Accelerates in transition. Consistent shooter from three-point range. Good playmaker with drop off passes near the basket. Can drive and kick to open shooters as well.
2. Julian Cunningham – Brentwood 2027
Cunningham has the tools to be an effective player in the paint. A real center who can get good position in the paint, hold his position and goes up strong to score. Sets good screens. Defensively, he is a shot blocker in the paint. He rotates well defensively and does a good job contesting shots with his length.
3. Luke Hammer – Mira Costa
Hammer stood out the most for his off ball movement. He finishes well at the basket making good cuts and ready for the pass. Offensive rebounder getting second chance shots. Surveys the floor well in the halfcourt and knowing when to dive to the basket. Positions himself well along the baseline. Good screener and good interior defender.
4. Shinzo Irie – West Torrance 2024
Irie was a good floor leader and ball-handler. Steady player who knows how to break a press. Able to run the offense and read and react to the defense. Most of his scoring came from off ball opportunities. Did a good job making the initial pass and then relocating. Good catch and shoot three-point shooter.
