Sanchez has always been a prospect with tremendous offensive feel and basketball IQ which makes a lot of sense with him playing Corona del Mar’s high octane offensive system. It was good to see him outside the Sea Kings’ bubble because it showed that his basketball mind and playmaking definitely travel and make others better. Sanchez was cutting, driving, slashing, moving without the ball and making things happen for his team while taking and making the open catch-and-shoot threes that came his way.

What Sanchez brings to the table for Corona del Mar is important for the team’s offensive flow. The 6-foot-3 guard/wing is a high IQ playmaker who often defends bigger players because of his understanding of defensive positioning and his strong frame allows him to hold his own inside and on the glass. Sanchez’s ability to stretch the floor to the three-point line, operate as a screener and his vision and passing feel allows the Sea Kings to play a free-flowing, five-out style of offense. The rising senior came up big in the championship game with a game-winning three at the buzzer.
