We are always in the gym looking to discover new talent in NorCal. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2440146' first='Kaethen' last='Dennis'] 6'0 Guard. Moreau Catholic; NorCal Prep 15U<br>Dennis is a solid body prospect who can be aggressive looking for his shot. He'll use a hard dribble to attack the paint, he hit the mid-range jumper off the dribble, dropped a couple of 3's in transition, and when he was open along the perimeter. His passing was good, he found cutters and moved the ball around the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2440125' first='Gabriel' last='Smyth'] 5'9 PG, Granite Bay; Rize Elite 15 YBA<br>He's an excellent ball handler with vision and passing, probably a pass first PG. He gets into the paint often, plants two feet, then made the decision to pass or initiate contact to finish his shot. His drive and kick out pass were strong to shot makers in the corners, got him multiple assists. He found cutters to the rim, good post entry passing and long strong up court passes. He hit the paint jumper. He applies good ball pressure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2440129' first='Zachary' last='Torres'] 5'11 CG, Inderkum; Rize Elite 15 YBA<br>He plays in a fast paced system at Inderkum. It fits him well, he seems most effective in a wide open game where he can display his abilty to finish in transition with different moves including the Euro Step and a few others. He can push and pass in transition, drop a transition 3ptr. He's a good ball handler with body control using different moves to attack hard, play off two feet, and avoid charges while putting points on the board.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2440147' first='Marijan' last='Kelly'] 6'7 Center, Galileo; NorCal Prep 15U<br>The long wiry Kelly has work to do in skill development. Playing 15u keeps him on the court to go after blocks, get his rebounds, and score inside the paint. He has some tools to work with, he runs the court. He'll get most of his points setting up on the block turning using his length to get a shot up over smaller defenders. He'll have to get stronger, we'll keep an eye on him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2440938' first='Myles' last='Mike'] 5'10 CG, Granite Bay; Rize Elite 15 YBA<br>He's a good all around guard with good ball handling skills and vision to make passes up court, and around the perimeter, he delivered good post passes into the post.

He knocked down a couple of catch 3 shots along the perimeter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2440130' first='Micah' last='Boman'] 6'0 SG, Twelve Bridges; Rize Elite 15 YBA<br>It was our first look at Boman, he shot the ball well. He's a threat to drop 3's on the catch, he'll come down in rhythm to hit 3's on the fly, he moves well without the ball looking for open space, he has deep 3 range. He has a good mid-range jumper off the dribble. He showed he can do more than shoot with good passing up court, and decision making.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2440140' first='Becker' last='Hockenbrock'] 6'4 Forward, Evolve 15 Scooter; Berkeley<br>He brings a good inside/out game at the 15U level. He moves well and was active inside getting rebounds, defending, and scoring in the post. He worked along the baseline driving into the paint, playing through contact, he got out well to finish transition layups. He worked his way to the top of the circle to knock down several catch 3ptr shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2440977' first='Braylen' last='Herico'] 6'0 CG, Clayton Valley; NBBA Elite UA Rise 15<br>He's a versatile guard showing he can handle the ball up top, while looking to be aggressive working off ball. He's a good ball handler, who can attack the basket from different angle, he'll take it all the way or pull-up on dime for mid-range jumpers. He was good up top on defense, playing the passing lanes, getting steals, and making the pass up court. He'll help rebound then push it in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
