AJ Garcia AJ Garcia 6'5" | PF/SF Hillsboro | 2026 State OR showed a polished inside game, using his great touch around the rim and strong post-up ability to consistently score in the paint. He was effective playing off the pick-and-roll, converted at the free-throw line, and controlled the glass as the lone post, finishing with a game-high 20 points.

Garcia brings good size, length, and toughness to the floor, making him a key two-way presence. A great defender and strong rebounder, he plays well around the rim and consistently impacts the game with his effort and versatility. A true team player and one of the leaders on this Hillsboro squad, Garcia filled the stat sheet with 18 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, and 5 steals.

Strong 6-foot-5 forward/post that usually plays inside for Hillsboro showed some versatility with his game. The senior spotted up on the perimeter for a number of cath-and-shoot attempts and proved that he was a threat from three-point range, draining multiple threes in the first game at the event. Also established himself as one of the top defensive rebounders. (JT)

Also established himself as one of the top defensive rebounders.

Quite frankly, it was a complete oversight to not have Garcia in the rankings at this point given he’s been the top dog at Hillsboro since his sophomore season. A dominant rebounder – he finished second in the state in 5A in boards – the junior is also mobile enough to make a mark on the defensive end as he also finished second in 5A in steals. A three-sport athlete, it will be interesting to see which sport he fully pursues at the college level.
