Harvard-Westlake Winter Showcase: Top W/F/C

<p>STUDIO CITY — Harvard-Westlake hosted its post-Thanksgiving Winter Showcase with some of the best teams in Southern California and Nevada. We were in attendance for all but one of the games Friday night and below we break down our best guard performers.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Chris Davis | 2028 | Redondo Union</h4>   <p>Davis is one of the most intriguing underclass wings in California and he showed why in Redondo's dominant win over Democracy Prep. The 6-foot-4 sophomore has a long, wiry frame, smooth perimeter athleticism and a fluid three-point shot off the catch that allows him to stretch the floor. Davis, who finished with 13 points, including three triples, will play crucial minutes for a good SeaHawks team this year and Division I programs should closely monitor his progress over the next three seasons.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2436266' first='Chris' last='Sanders'] | 2027 | Redondo Union</h4>   <p>Sanders is such an effective high school player because of his combination of two-way versatility and physical and athletic traits. The 6-foot-4 lefty is best as an attacker of the rim in transition, on face-up opportunities in half-court offense and as a cutter and offensive rebounder. Sanders bullied his way through contact to finish off high percentage buckets and was a playmaker for others out of the high post. He finished with 14 points and nine rebounds in a win.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1956502' first='Dominique' last='Bentho'] | 2026 | Harvard-Westlake</h4>   <p>As the old adage goes, true big men take a little longer to reach their full potential and Bentho continues to improve on both ends of the floor. The 6-foot-8 center is an interior scorer whose soft hands, fundamental post footwork and big body allow him to finish through contact around the basket. Where Bentho is most valuable is as a screener as he sprints to the ball handler, makes contact with the defender, and rolls hard opposite the ball to give his guards space to operate. Bentho even flashed some touch to the three-point line offensively and his choice to commit to UC Irvine couldn't have been a better fit.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2468244' first='Jaden' last='Redding'] | 2028 | Democracy Prep (NV)</h4>   <p>Redding is a talented class of 2028 wing out of Nevada who brought a versatile offensive package to the floor for Democracy Prep. The 6-foot-4 lefty was best at getting into dribble pull-up jumpers to his right hand or strong drives to the rim where he used his length to extend and finish at the cup. Redding also knocked home a couple of smooth catch-and-shoot threes en route to 17 points. </p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2122232' first='Kaden' last='Arnold'] | 2027 | Democracy Prep (NV)</h4>   <p>Arnold had his jumper dialed in as he knocked down four three-pointers and scored a team-high 18 points in the loss to Redondo Union. The 6-foot-4 junior has a projectable frame, tight shooting mechanics and plays to his strengths and within the team's offensive scheme and concepts. Arnold is a savvy off-ball mover who was shot ready on drive-and-kick opportunities.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2364528' first='Luke' last='Mirhashemi'] | 2026 | Corona del Mar</h4>   <p>Mirhashemi is the ultimate glue guy for Corona del Mar as his versatility allows him to impact the game in a variety of ways. The 6-foot-4 senior is often times the team's primary ball handler and decision-maker as his poise with the ball and high IQ playmaking allows the Sea Kings to unlock their shooters as off-ball threats. Defensively, Mirhashemi battled with bigs inside but also switched over and contained guards on the perimeter.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1406767' first='Munir' last='Greig'] | 2026 | Coronado (NV)</h4>   <p>Greig single-handedly tried to will Coronado to a win but his attempts fell short in the end. The long, wiry 6-foot-6 wing was getting to the rim seemingly at-will in transition and half-court offense as his combination of speed, athleticism, length and isolation creating allowed him to earn paint touches where he drew fouls and got to the free throw line. Greig finished with a game-high 20 points, including 13-for-18 from the free throw line.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1956526' first='SJ' last='Madison'] | 2026 | Redondo Union</h4>   <p>Madison had a slow start to the game offensively, tallying just six points in the first half, but he came out in the second 16 minutes aggressively hunting his shots - and he knocked them down at a high clip. The 6-foot-5 wing, who is bound for Nevada, scored 14 points in the third quarter on mid-range jumpers and strong drives to the rim which broke the game open for Redondo to pull away.</p>
