Sanders is the California representative on this list and earned his way onto the list by having his most productive session of the spring and summer. Sanders averaged 12 points, seven rebounds and 2.3 assists per game which makes it crystal clear the impact he has on multiple aspects of the game. The 6-foot-4 lefty forward is a physical downhill driver and finisher who can rebound and push the break, make plays for himself and teammates in transition and has a ton of defensive versatility.

When locked in, Sanders is one of the most physical and productive wings/forwards in SoCal’s 2027 class and he was all that and more at Nevada Live. At 6-feet-4 and with a strong 200-plus pound frame, he was effective in face-up situations where he used his explosive first step and physicality to initiate, absorb and finish through contact in the paint. Sanders is also an underrated passer, active offense and defensive rebounder and versatile perimeter and interior defender.

Christopher Sanders was a natural glue guy with a physical and explosive presence around the rim, whether disrupting drives or finishing at the rack. A true duck-in artist with good anticipation, Sanders always seemed to be in the right spot at the right time. He also proved to be a strong decision maker down low who could make a quick play, whether a pass or shot, anytime the ball came his way. His toughness, instincts, and interior activity led to 7 points, 5 assists, 2 rebounds, and 2 steals while impacting the game in multiple ways.
