#6 – Malachi Seely-Roberts Malachi Seely-Roberts 6'8" | SF Lincoln | 2023 State OR (2023 Lincoln)
Seely-Roberts might be listed one spot below his brother Moroni here but the truth of the matter is they are essentially 5a and 5b. Malachi is a distinctly different player both in terms of body and style of play. He’s now a lanky 6-foot-8 and is much of a ball-handler and shooter than his brother and because of his ability to knock down long range threes, some feel he may have more college upside. Like his sibling, he’s a high-academic performer and will be tested playing at 6A at Lincoln in 2021-22.
#7 – Jalen Childs Jalen Childs 6'3" | PG Beaverton | 2023 State OR (2023 Sunset)
Childs ascended into the starting lineup at Sunset as a sophomore and really looked to play more as a point guard, getting his teammates involved rather than look for his own offense. That continues to be the evoluation of the athletic 6-foot-3 rising junior who got more experience this summer playing with Seattle Rotary’s 16U squad at the Peach Jam. While the loaded roster prevented him from getting major minutes, Childs certainly benefitted from the practice time. He currently holds an offer from Portland.
#8 and #9 – Malik Brown Malik Brown 6'0" | PG Tigard | 2023 State OR and Kalim Brown Kalim Brown 6'0" | CG Tigard | 2023 State OR (2023 Tigard)
The Brown twins remain steady in the second half of the Top 10. Both added strength and size to their bodies over the past year and continue to develop as all-around guards who can play either the point or the two. Malik remains more of a point guard and has worked hard on improving his outside shot, where as Kalim remains more of a two and has worked on his ability to get to the hoop. Both got quality time playing with Team Fly 16U this summer in a handful of tournaments.
#10 – Sean Chris Tresvant Sean Chris Tresvant 5'11" | PG Cleveland | 2023 State OR (2023 Central Catholic)
Tresvant ascended onto the varsity squad as a sophomore and got playing time whether it was starting or coming off of the bench. He’s grown both in height and with his size but hasn’t lost any of his quickness getting to the basket. The lefty is best with the ball in his hands but can capably play off the ball alongside Malik Rose Malik Rose 5'8" | PG Central Catholic | 2022 CA-N in the Central Catholic backcourt. Tresvant, who has held an offer from San Francisco before he even entered high school, played AAU ball this summer with Team Fly 16U.
