<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1702936' first='Andrew' last='Hilman'] 6'4 G, Archbishop Riordan: He's starting to assert himself. He's a multi skilled prospect with good size strength to effect the game on both sides. His quality handles and lengthy arms allows him to get by defenders and into the paint for strong finishes at the rim. He's a big guard with good vision and passing skills. At 6'4 and lengthy he can defend multiple positions, get rebounds. He flirted with a double double 16pts, 9rebs.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1703096' first='Elias' last='Obenyah'] 6'4 Guard, Salesian College Prep: He's long with an improving skill set. He can handle the ball in the open court, he's a willing passer. He uses his length with a few back down dribbles to attack from the mid-post. He can beat the defender off the dribble using a spin and other ways, he'll pull-up or attack for finishes inside. He has the foot speed to stay on ball handlers, he'll guard a scorer, and has size to help in the post, and work for rebounds.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1703083' first='Isaiah' last='Davis'] 5'10 PG, Salesian College Prep: He's part of that deep bench on this team that comes in and plays to his strength. He sets the offense in half-court, he uses his handle and a first step to get into the paint, he has a mid-range jumper. He sees the court, passes up, or pushes fast, but under control in transition. He can put pressure on ball handlers bringing the ball up court, and get a steal.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1703107' first='DJ' last='Armstrong'] 6'3 G, The Branson: He's a starter that fits well in the scheme of what this team does. He's a good size prospect with improving skills, that's found a way to be a contributor on one of NorCal's top teams. A solid body with handles to attack from the baseline and other angles, after good movement without the ball. He has good balance, takes good shots, jumpers, but mostly attacks. He gives effort on the defensive and will help with the team rebounding. Consistency is key for this riser.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1707503' first='Carlton' last='Perrilliat'] 6'5 Forward, Salesian Prep College: He's a stock riser, only a Soph, but already earning minutes on NorCal's top rated team with his size, and strength to handle himself against bigger, stronger players on the court. He moves pretty well, gives good effort defending and going after rebounds. He'll have to sharpen up his overall skill set. He has the ability to put points on the board finishing strong inside, with touch, and a dribble to hit the short jumper. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1707504' first='Ty' last='Landers'] 6'8 Center, The Branson: He serves as the big man off the bench who gives this team size when needed against opposing teams. He's a fundamentally sound prospect who's improving. He'll get his minutes defending in the post, trying to be active in and around the basket, defending and going after rebounds. He's a good passer from the post.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1707443' first='Chase' last='Robertson'] 6'4 G, Clayton Valley Charter: He's a long wiry guard probably still growing with a frame to fill. He'll get minutes running the point, he has improving handles, and passes well around the perimeter including drive and kicks. He works off ball with good takes off the dribble, he has a paint jumper. His lengthy arms and movements helps on the defensive side.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1707496' first='Vince' last='Ellis'] 6'3 G, Clayton Valley Charter: He's an improving guard with a good fundamental skill set, and probably still growing into his body. He's shown he can handle the offense up top with patience and good passing. He'll try to beat the defender off the dribble, square up for the jump shot, he'll hit the mid-range or knock down a rhythm 3. He can finish around the rim slashing and cutting. Consistency will be key for this rising prospect.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2089526' first='Meezy' last='Butler'] 6'0 G, The Branson: He gets spot duty for NorCal's #2 team. He's active with good energy for the time he's in the game. He has good handles, a ball mover, he'll take his shot if the opportunity is there. He gives good effort on the defensive side of the ball. His best days are ahead. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2089500' first='Leon' last='Powe III'] 6'5, Forward, Salesian College Prep: He's another long wing prospect coming off the bench for the Pride, knowing he has to give a good effort on the defensive side of the ball while in the game. He seems to have some scoring ability, he looks for his shot, a 3ptr, or a drive into the paint. He's on our radar now we'll see more.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1707505' first='Bikram' last='Kullar'] 6'4 Guard, Gridley: Believe it or not he's a 6'4 point guard. He may grow out of the position, but for now he handles, and brings the ball up court, initiates the offense in half-court. He seems to like being a pass first guard, he sees the court. He'll take a 3ptr when he's open. He's off the Watch List, and will enter our rankings next time around. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>McKae Amundsen </strong>5'9 Guard, Clovis North: He's an energetic guard with a good skill set. He'll dribble his way out of trouble in a good way, he's a good passer seeing the court in transition or in the half-court. He plays without fear going inside for his shot, or a pass. He has a floater and a paint jumper. He's a good shooter from 3. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Elias Gish </strong>6'6 Wing, Clovis North: He's a knock down 3pt shooter who continues to add pieces to his game. He's grown a few inches and needs to bulk up a bit to handle the bumping and banging that goes on. He's doing better on the defensive. He's a good passer, his ball handling is coming along. He'll work to fill lanes in transition, or for a spot to knock down a 3. </p>
