Section 7: Eight CA Stock Rising Guards

<p>MESA, Ariz. — Arizona Athletic Grounds played host to the always-loaded Section 7 Team Camp over the weekend. The first scholastic live period of June brought together high school teams from Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah, New Mexico and Florida and drew the eyes of more than 500 college coaches. Below we break down some of the California-based guards who raised their stock.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Chris Paul II | 2028 | Campbell Hall</h4>   <p>Paul has stepped into a starting role for the Vikings and runs the team's offense with pace, poise and a high basketball IQ, all of which are to be expected as the son of one of the best point guards to ever play the game. The 6-foot-1 rising sophomore is growing into his frame and his game is following as a prospect who creates for himself and others using elite feel for the game and vision. Paul picks apart defenses in ball screen action and can take over a game with his creation or scoring abilities.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2425679' first='Devin' last='Wright'] | 2026 | Redondo Union</h4>   <p>Wright is one of the best shooters in SoCal's 2026 class and that, combined with his intriguing positional size, will make him a highly-targeted prospect over the next few months. Wright, the son of former NBA player Dorell Wright, is a light's out jump shooter off the catch and on the move with deep range and a quick release. Wright's ability to stretch the floor and impact the game without needing the ball in his hands should be valued at the next level.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2131806' first='Gavin' last='Dean-Moss'] | 2026 | St. John Bosco</h4>   <p>Dean-Moss stepped up in a major way in the absence of the Braves' "Big Three" as the rising senior point guard had his two-way toughness on full display. The 6-footer was effective when attacking the rim in transition where he used his combination of speed and strength to blow by defenders, get into the lane and into the body of defenders to score at the rim. Dean-Moss also showed improved touch from the perimeter and had one of the best plays of the event with a game-winning floater in a second-round win over St. Mary's of Arizona.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2435386' first='Hunter' last='Caplan'] | 2027 | Crean Lutheran</h4>   <p>Caplan helped lead Crean Lutheran to the championship of the AESC bracket with a combination of perimeter shooting and on-ball creating and decision-making. The 6-foot-3 combo guard was at his best when knocking down deep three-point shots off the catch and off the bounce - which are the two traits he is best known for - but he has been undervalued as a playmaker with the ball in his hands. Caplan's best moment of the event came on a game-winning left wing three-pointer to give the Saints an overtime win over Highland of Utah which sent them to the championship game.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2835265' first='Isaiah' last='Davis'] | 2026 | Salesian</h4>   <p>Davis is an underrated point guard out of Northern California but his performance over the weekend - with the absence of one of the team's best players - should boost his stock. The 5-foot-10 rising senior brought a tough, physical and hard-nosed approach to the game on both ends of the floor, highlighted by his ball-hawking on-ball defense. Davis' lateral speed and quick hands allowed him to apply pressure to ball handlers and contain on the perimeter. Offensively, Davis was a steady decision-maker who utilized paint touches to create for teammates.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1956524' first='Isaiah' last='Rogers'] | 2026 | Corona Centennial</h4>   <p>Silm is one of the best scoring guards in SoCal and he had that on full display in front of college coaches. The 6-foot-3 combo guard is as smooth as they come when creating for himself and his shiftiness, combined with his fluidity, allow him to create space from his defender for his mid-range and three-point jumpers. Rogers operated with great pace, change of speed and savvy finishing ability around the basket.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2750214' first='Jacob' last='Coleman'] | 2028 | Etiwanda</h4>   <p>Coleman emerged as one of the most intriguing rising sophomores in SoCal. The 6-foot-3 combo guard has improved drastically since the end of the season and has the potential to be another high-level guard out of Etiwanda. Coleman is a smooth-paced player who is smart when using angles to get to the rim and finished around the basket with strength and savvy.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2137372' first='Josiah' last='Johnson'] | 2026 | Mayfair</h4>   <p>Johnson being on this list was a forgone conclusion as it was his first time playing in front of that many college coaches and his game spoke volumes. The 6-foot-3 combo guard showed his combination of college ready frame and explosive athleticism which led to him impacting the game as a mid-range and at-rim scorer in addition to his impact as an on-ball defender and defensive rebounder. Johnson is one of the state's best transition scorers and was one of the state's most underrated prospects, but that changed at Section 7.</p>
