Cali Live SF’s

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2nd annual&nbsp;<strong>California Live</strong>&nbsp;was held in Sacramento,CA on June 28-30 with 160 teams from the West Coast including 12 from Arizona.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I want to take a look at some of the standouts I viewed when I saw them play in one or two of their weekend games. I obviously could not see all 4 of them and they could have had their worst game when I watched but hopefully I caught them at the right time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here were some standout SF's from the 12 local teams</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1323295' first='Brayden' last='Barrett'] Millennium</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A thicker framed wing forward can rebound in and out of his area and score. He hits catch threes in bunches and can score inside with fall aways from eight feet. He will post up and go to work with good footwork and hands. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1758975' first='Nash' last='Parmley'] Sunnyslope</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A quickly improving wing who will catch and shoot from the three with a very quick trigger. He plays the passing lanes well and is a good passer on the break. He gives a hard ball fake and will side step and hit the three. He cuts without the ball for layups and shows you a little something different in his game each outing it seems. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2249943' first='Lleyton' last='Leonard'] Basha</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The incoming freshman moves gracefully from end to end and the lefty will defend and score. He will defend a little in the post and then switch to a point guard. He has quick moves to get to the basket with his left and finish high off the glass in traffic. He is a fluid ball handler and can create his own offense.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1366582' first='Cullen' last='Schreiner'] Basha</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger wing forward is a top notch shooter. He is mostly off the catch but he can also create his own offense off the dribble with a super quick trigger.&nbsp; He rebounds well in traffic with his size and length and he is not afraid to mix it up. He is looking more and more comfortable on the court after the year-long injury. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1381426' first='Luke' last='Wieskamp'] Brophy Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic wing forward can catch and shoot from the three point line. His shooting is steadily improving in the last year. He takes unusually long strides to get to the basket to score or get fouled. He moves really well in space and defends every position is where he makes his money to go along with his above the rim play and shot making.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1241538' first='Kai' last='Hogan'] Brophy Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A valuable player off the bench is Hogan. He is very skilled and plays the game with a high IQ. He can rattle in the three then post up or score on put backs. He has a floater game and rebounds in his area. He rattled in some huge second half threes to win a tight game.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2297971' first='Hale' last='Hansen'] Brophy Prep (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic wing forward can defend multiple positions and has advanced post footwork and counter moves and will catch the lob dunk on the break. He also scores on offensive rebound put backs, tip-ins or fall aways.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1680907' first='Josh' last='Dillard'] Ironwood</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A live bodied forward plays the 3-5 for the Eagles. He rebounds the ball well and will block shots off the glass with quick twitchy springs. He can score on put backs and even step out and shoot the three.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1364929' first='Jackson' last='Hunter'] Liberty</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A skilled wing can play the 2-3 for the Lions. He gets to the free throw line with tough drives and rises up high on his mid-range pull-ups. If you give him just a little space, he is rising up and shooting it. His floater game and mid-range pull-up is very polished. He can crossover into a tough pull making him very difficult to defend. When he catches fire from the three, he is one of the toughest 6A seniors to defend on the wing. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1490240' first='Colton' last='Watson'] Sandra Day O'Connor</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long and taller lead guard or point forward type. He has a nasty spin move to the basket he often uses and is it very hard to defend. He will hit the three off the catch or pull. He will defend the 1-4 impressively and will collect steals and had a ridiculous block on the fast break versus a potential dunk attempt. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
