Sanchez has had a big role at Sunnyside since stepping on the floor as a freshman two seasons ago. He’s a high IQ player who can make others around him better with his movement, ability to draw up extra defenders, and quick decisions. Scores well in the midrange and around the paint with clever fakes, hesitations, and footwork.

He’s a highly instinctual player who has all the qualities you look for in a point guard. At Sunnyside, he’s relied on to score the rock, but he’s always playing under control on the attack and is able to locate the right pass and keep a great awareness of where his teammates are and how the defense is reacting. Those instincts help him not only be a great playmaker on both ends, but put him in position to make the little things become big, whether that’s sneaking in for an offensive rebound, recognizing opportunities to push the ball up the floor, or moving to space without the ball.

Sanchez played a big role for Sunnyside as a freshman and looks like he’ll have an even bigger role next winter. He’s a crafty guard who sees passing lanes well, especially while attacking the rim. He had some great ball fakes and footwork at the Shootout and is a kid who plays fast but not hurried.
