<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops rankings for the 2026 NorCal class has been update. Here we have a second group that made a good move up the rankings with their excellent play during the Spring and Summer, with their club and high school teams. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1702963' first='Myles' last='Wiggins'] 6'5 Forward from Destiny Christian in Sacramento. He's a strong powerful prospect with good lift. He's strong around the basket will dunk on you. He's worked hard to improve his game away from the basket. He'll shoot open 3's in the corner, go hard at you using a dribble or two. He'll be hard to deal with this season. From 22 to 16.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1711573' first='Cade' last='Krueger'] 6'1 Guard from Amador Valley. This team has added multiple players to the team. He's been one of the steady contributors throughout. He'll have more space to attack with his physical style of play, he's improved his 3-point shooting. He goes from 27 to 20.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1707496' first='Vince' last='Ellis'] 6'4 Guard from Clayton Valley Charter. He's an experienced prospect who's going to lead this team in different ways on the court. Improved post play, footwork and finishing around the basket. He can handle and pass like a guard, he'll create for himself and others, get rebounds, and work to defend. 33 to 29.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1953887' first='Frederick' last='Blue'] 6'1 Point Guard from Destiny Christian. He's set to lead from the point guard position. He's a calm cool prospect that looks to involve mates first, he can get aggressive looking to convert. 36 to 33. One of the more polished point guards in Sacramento.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2089517' first='Matthew' last='Wright'] 6'7 Power Forward from Vanden. He's one of the toughest players to defend in the post because of his size, physicality, and strength. He's projected as a double, double prospect at this level. 43 to 38. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2452417"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68d2e3f255e04"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He's one of the top 2 sport athletes that can have effect on the court, and football field. He's a physically strong player who has good motion on the court. He can go inside to get buckets with defenders hanging on him. He's got some outside abilities, a few dribbles, good passing, can hit the open 3 on occasion. He'll be a contributor defending other bigs in the paint, rebounding and scoring inside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2277310"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68d3326c043f3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He's been playing good basketball for a while now. The guard from Sacramento might be working a bit under the radar. He performs well when the game is on the line. Strong drives to the bucket, in traffic handling the bumps. He has a consistent pull-up jumper in, and around the paint. He as the ability to settle, and run the offense up top. His numbers should go up this season. 58 to 40.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2059723"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68d3326c04467"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A smart guard, can run point if called to do so. He's more athletic than we thought he was. He showed good hops as a rebounding guard. He handles, and passes well in transition can finish at and above the rim. He spots up, moves to open spots, and hits the 3-point shot around the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1988349"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68d34dc4184ba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Baileys best days are ahead. He's a long wing prospects that shows he can lock in and defend multiple positions. He's alert, has lateral movement defending out on the perimeter, length to disrupt passing lanes. He's showing an improving offensive game that can get him points in the paint slashing/cutting. He's a willing passer/ball mover. He's shown 3-point range, uses a dribble or two to get to his mid-range. He has a frame to continue to build. Consistency will be key. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2509676"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68d34dc41855b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He's been a consistent playmaking point guard in NorCal. He played a key role in his (Jesuit) team winning a CIF State Division II Championship last season. He continued to play against quality competition this Spring, and Summer with his Sac Renegade Club, and Jesuit. His point production will probably increase as he uses his overall guard play to score more, and continue his point guard duties. 81 to 44 </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
