<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>October 6 PH NorCal was at Monterey Trail HS, in Sacramento California for the 4th Annual Elite 8 Fall Classic Preview. Chuck Hayes Basketball (Modesto Christian) won the event. Most of the teams and players were from the Sacramento Area. It was an opportunity for PH NorCal to see some of the prospects in the area before high school basketball begins in late November. This up and coming group will be key contributors on the Varsity their first season of high school basketball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2484289' first='Devaughn' last='Dorrough'] 6'7 SF/PF, Monterey Trail: He's on the radar, after playing up an age this Spring and Summer, playing his way into the Top 30 game at the Pangos All-West Frosh/Soph Camp in September, he's starting and contributing on his Varsity team in Fall Ball. He's picked up a couple of DI offers recently. It's safe to say he's at the top of the list in the class of 2028. He's long, can handle the ball, plays under control. He's good around the basket, posting up, turning using a dribble or two, plays off two feet, he'll slash, cut receive and finish around the rim. He's going to get his fair share of rebounds and block and change a few.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Damitrius Zaire Nelson 6'1 Guard, Modesto Christian: </strong>A good size guard with a solid body. He'll be a contributor right away on the Varsity. He's a good ball handler with vision, heads up seeing who's in front to make the long pass up court. He can get to the paint from the perimeter using his body, and hard dribbles, finishing with either hand around the rim. He'll drive and kick, or plant and spin to get closer to the rim. We've seen him hit the mid-range, and catch 3 from the corners. We'll have to see more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2495042' first='Jaxon' last='Limbrick'] 6'1 Guard, Modesto Christian: A fast guard with good determination, he's a good ball handler, can set the offense as well, as work off ball for now. He sees the court to make good passes up and around the perimeter. He has the dribble and a burst to go by a defenders, get into the paint for points, and passes, he'll drive and kick, pull up for paint jumpers, he can handle contact. His foot speed, and ability to defend with effort up close, out on the perimeter, and in full court will give the Freshman playing time on the Varsity.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2629603' first='Djibril' last='Camara'] 6'8 Forward, Destiny Christian: He's raw, hasn't played a lot basketball. Our first look says size at 6'8, plays with energy. He hustles up and down the court. He executed the pick and role, set solid screens, he put himself in position to go get offensive rebounds. He was active in the paint looking to distract, and change shots with arms away from the body, he'll swat at it. He has good reactions to go get rebounds out of his space. He plants, goes up strong off two feet to finish around the rim. They'll bring him along slowly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2484359' first='Kieth' last='Labunog'] 5'6 Guard, Weston Ranch: He'll be a lift off the bench. He's fast and speedy, he puts pressure on the defense with his fast pace. He can handle, and pass. He looks like a reliable shooter with range to knock down 3-pointers. He can knock down 3's if left open, he'll stop and pop for mid-range jumpers. He fast in transition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
