Parks has been a player that does not duck the competition as he is willing to play in any event that has talented players and he is ready to do his thing on both ends of the floor. The lanky CG hass really used that good shooting to expand the rest of his game. He is a ball mover that can score off the bounce and his creating ability continues to get better. A lot of room left to grow as he develops as a more complete CG but he is a player you have to keep your eye on.
Sterling Willardson

Sterling is a player that is off teh radar but not for too long as the big fella is starting to really make some moves in his development that makes you think that he could be another D1 athlete in the family as his sister is playing at BYU and was an All-Stater in her time at Santiago High School. This kid is on the right track, so look for him to assert himself as one of the best new bigs coming out of the Inland Empire out in California.
Kayo Griffin

Scrappy and shifty guard that knows how to stay low and get space, the space he needs to create for himself and get shots off or lanes to make his way to the hoop. Love the way he can open up and see the floor as he gets out in-fornt of the pack. He has a solid step back that he uses as he sets it up with that constant attack mode that he can be in. He is turning into a player that can just turn that motor on and leave it on, on both ends of the floor.
Weston Edwards

Excited to see this youngster in action, he has that wiggle and he has that height that makes you really pay attention, because he is solid as a lead guard but does work off the ball. Skill set is high and that bag continues to get deeper with the different moves he is using to get open or to get by defenders. That outside jumper is going up with ease, which just means that in a matter of time he is going to extend that range. On the defensive end of things he has active hands and that lanky frame and long arms really disrupt.

Every once in awhile you will see a player do some things that you know they should not be able to do at such a young age and that is exactly what you are getting from Kam. This kid has a superior handle and he is not afraid to use and get big time shifty with it. That stop and change of direction with the ball on the string is too crazy. the tween the legs and change of speed is ridiculous. In time this is a kid you neeed to tune in to.
