Expert Analysis
Jarett Fountain | Prep Hoops Scout
Only being just over six feet, he was still able to create his own shots. However, where he impressed the most was attacking the basket. Cal is extremely aggressive and isn’t afraid to throw his body into defenders. This is why it seemed like the Benton guard lived at the free throw line, where he shot well from. Cal also utilized a physical hop step where he made tough and-1 layups multiple times. In general, he’s very crafty around the rim and was able to finish through contact with both hands.

Cal brings real juice as a quick, shifty small guard who can create offense on demand. He gets into gaps with ease, changes pace well, and has a natural scorer’s feel when he touches the paint. His ability to generate his own shot, pressure defenses off the bounce, and play with confidence makes him a tough cover despite his size. A true spark‑plug guard whose scoring impact keeps trending upward.
