California’s Top Unsigned Seniors (Pt. 10)

<p>With the early signing period in the books and the state of California high school basketball still in flux due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we figured now would be a good time to highlight some of the state’s available seniors. In this series we’ll provide evaluations on the best available prospects in their final season of high school competition.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="951230" first="Sheldon" last="Grant"]</strong>, Aquinas - <span class="s1">High IQ point guard with good size and length for the position. Plays with a creating and pass-first mentality which helps breed unselfishness in the teams he plays on. Averaged nearly 10 assists per game during his junior season. Crafty finisher around the basket who can complete same foot/same hand finishes. Needs to improve his perimeter jumper both off the catch and off the bounce and add strength to his wiry frame.</span></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="680247" first="Adam" last="Hinton"]</strong>, Harvard-Westlake - <span class="s1">High IQ glue-guy at the wing position who comes from a well-coached program. Can knock down the open catch-and-shoot three, rebounds well on both ends for his size and position and can guard multiple spots at the high school level. Finishes through contact when getting downhill on the break. Needs to improve ball skills, first-step explosion and transition speed in the open court. </span></p> <p><strong>Jack Carroll</strong>, San Clemente - J<span class="s1">ump shooting off-guard with great size for the position. Gets great lift on his jump shot both off the catch, off the move when coming off of pin-downs and off the bounce when defenders go under screens. Hard worker and confident mentality. Can hit the pull-up mid-range jump shot. Needs to improve on-ball defense, ball skills when creating shots, first-step in isolation and finishing over length in the painted area. </span></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="951217" first="Nico" last="Meza"]</strong>, Mater Dei Catholic - <span class="s1">Smooth athlete and perimeter shooter who can fill it up from deep when he’s on. Has good size, length and leaping ability which lends to some long-term upside. Prefers to operate in catch-and-shoot or straight line-drive situations. Needs to tighten up his handle and work on his speed/explosiveness in the half-court setting.</span></p>
