NorCal’s Top 2021 Point Guards

<p>Here is a look at the top point guards in Nor Cal in the class of 2021.</p> <p><strong>6’4 [player_tooltip player_id="773460" first="Cole" last="Anderson"] - Clovis West HS, Fresno                      </strong></p> <p>Anderson is the definition of a winner in so many ways. (He lead his team to an over-achieving 26-6 record this past season.) He’s a good ball handler and an excellent passer who sees the floor well. He consistently makes plays in transition for himself and others and he has a nice pull up game in the half court. Anderson has a nice motor and he moves fairly well without the ball. He is a big-time shooter with deep range. He has a nice floater in the lane. He is a competitive leader who runs a team. He has a high IQ and he makes good decisions consistently. He is also a decent defender. He competes on every play and simply, he is a guy you want on your side! Anderson is a mid plus/high minus prospect.</p> <p><strong>6’2 Geronimo De La Rosa - Brookside Christian HS, Stockton </strong></p> <p>De La Rosa will be transferring to Modesto Christian with immediate eligibility because Brookside Christian is closing. The team finished 26-8 this past season.                      </p> <p>He’s a fairly good athlete with long arms who can handle it but has a tendency to over dribble some. He does push the break and is effective in transition. He’s got a decent half court pull up, moves fairly well without the ball and he shoots it fairly well with 3 range. He also plays the two. De La Rosa is a low major prospect.</p> <p><strong>6’3 [player_tooltip player_id="706270" first="Mike" last="Mitchell"] - Archbishop Mitty HS, San Jose</strong></p> <p>Mitchell was co-player of the year in the toughest league in Northern California (his team was tri-champions) as a junior and deservedly so. He’s a fairly athletic one man with ok burst. He is a little on the slender side and needs some bulk/strength. He handles it well and he is a brilliant passer. He pushes the break hard on every possession and he sees the floor well.  He gets a ton of things done in transition.  In the half court he moves well without the ball and he’s a fairly good shooter with 3-point range. Mitchell can penetrate into the lane consistently. He’s also a decent rebounder. He does have a tendency to forces it a bit at times. He also plays the two but he is at his best with the ball in his hands. Mitchell is committed to Pepperdine, a nice steal for the Waves.</p> <p><strong>6’3 [player_tooltip player_id="706266" first="Isa" last="Silva"] - Jesuit HS, Carmichael</strong></p> <p>There is hardly any debate as to who the man is in the 2021 class (at any position) in Nor Cal. It is [player_tooltip player_id="706266" first="Isa" last="Silva"]. He’s a decent athlete who runs the floor hard and plays in attack mode. He’s a very good ball handler and elite-level passer (his best asset). He’s very effective in transition, pushing the break aggressively and consistently. He sees the floor well and has a unique ability to find the open man. Silva is a fairly good shooter with 3-point range with a nice floater. He will always want to take the shot when the game is on the line.  Silva has an exceptional motor and he is a no-brainer high major prospect.</p> <p><strong>6’1 [player_tooltip player_id="706320" first="Corey" last="Yerger"] - Grant Union HS, Sacramento</strong></p> <p>Yerger is a real nice blend of athleticism and skills. He is a combo guard who handles it well and is a good passer. He uses his burst effectively in transition and can finish at the end of the break. He shoots it well with 3-range but his shot selection can be a little shaky. He’s a good driver with a nice first step who can break down defenders regularly. He can be a bit erratic at times. He is a decent rebounder from the guard position. Yerger is a mid major prospect worth a higher look.</p>
