Albala addressed his biggest area of improvement over the spring and summer and has become a viable three-point shooting threat for Redondo Union. The gritty 5-foot-6 point guard had hung his hat on his ability to defend and set the table for teammates throughout his first three years of high school but has shown improved confidence in his ability to knock down catch-and-shoot threes. Albala scored all 12 of his points from distance as he hit four of his seven triples in a loss to Notre Dame.

After a successful championship run at Section 7, Redondo went back-to-back at Nevada Live with Albala being one of the driving forces. The 5-foot-6 point guard is one of the most scrappy on-ball defenders in the region and is the trigger guy in Redondo’s full court pressure. Offensively, Albala was constantly looking to set teammates up for good looks. He used his speed to get into the lane, played off of two feet and delivered on-time and on-target passes to teammates. Albala also flashed his improved three-point shooting ability off the catch.
