JP Pihtovs JP Pihtovs 6'9" | PF Archbishop Riordan | 2026 State CA-N finished with 13 points and quietly had a strong impact on the game. After a slower start getting touches, Pihtovs made his presence felt when guard Cole White Cole White 6'1" | PG Archbishop Riordan | 2027 State CA-N threw a perfectly placed alley-oop over the back of a 2–3 zone for his second basket. It was a play that highlighted both his athleticism and his ability to read space.
Pihtovs does a great job working the short corner, where he’s a constant lob threat and stays active around the rim. He keeps possessions alive with his offensive rebounding and plays with good timing on second-chance opportunities. While his athleticism is obvious, what can get overlooked is his basketball IQ. Defensively, Pihtovs recognizes actions early and has a knack for blowing up plays before they fully develop. His combination of size, activity, and feel for the game makes him one of the more valuable unsigned players on the west coast.
