Adidas Gold: Friday Live Guard Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>ANAHEIM — Last weekend marked the first live viewing period of the spring where college coaches of all levels were packed in gyms across the country to evaluate and recruit prospects. We stayed on the West Coast and started our own evaluating at Open Gym Premier in Anaheim where the adidas 3SGB teams were competing. Below are our Friday night guard standouts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Bromo Dorn | 2025 | We Rise Elite</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dorn earned the Gatorade State Player of the Year award in Hawaii and it was easy to see the skill and IQ that led to him receiving that award. The 6-foot-5 point guard showed off his elevated feel for the game, ability to create for himself and teammates off the bounce and a willingness to play unselfishly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2825332' first='Isaiah' last='Bradley'] | 2027 | Hoop Code 16u (AZ)</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6-foot point guard impressed with his aggressive downhill attacking of the rim in the open court. Bradley, a sophomore out of Arizona, used his strong, compact frame and speed to spark fast break opportunities, earn paint touches and initiate and finish through contact around the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Jace Kellogg | 2026 | Clovis West</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kellogg is a quick and crafty guard out of Central California whose strength is in his speed and savvy when attacking the rim. Kellogg has a lightning quick first step that allows him to gain an advantage over his defender and his ability to finish with floaters or body-contorting layups limited the effect of opposing rim protectors.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2137372' first='Josiah' last='Johnson'] | 2026 | California Gold</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6-foot-3 combo guard is one of the more under-recruited prospects on the west coast but, if he continues to play the way he did last weekend, that won't be the case much longer. The Mayfair high school product is an explosive athlete - vertically, horizontally and laterally - and that, combined with his physicality and aggressiveness, allowed him to get to the rim at-will where he finished through contact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2059746' first='Lucas' last='Lau'] | 2026 | Bay City Warriors North</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lau proved to be an effective creator with the ball in his hands. The 6-foot-1 point guard out of University high school in San Francisco took advantage of every isolation opportunity to flash his impressive ball-handling, quick twitch changes of speed and direction and ability to knock down off-bounce jumpers and find open shooters off of penetration.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">McKae Amundsen | 2026 | Clovis North</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If there is one thing Amundsen does every time he takes the floor, it's produce in some stat category. The 5-foot-9 point guard is a steady ball-handler and decision-maker at the one spot who also has the ability to score on the perimeter with pull-up jumpers and step-back threes. Amundsen is a tough and hard-nosed competitor who makes winning plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1703073' first='Rodney' last='Westmoreland'] | 2026 | Ladera Premier Black</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Westmoreland is a blur with the ball in his hands and is likely one of the fastest players end to end that we have in Southern California. What separates Westmoreland from others who possess great speed is his ability to always remain under control and on balance when attacking in transition. The 6-foot point guard blows by retreating defenders in transition and scores at the rim but is also a capable stop-and-pop jump shooter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
