Stephen Golatte Stephen Golatte 6'3" | SG/SF Destiny Christian | 2026 State CA-N 6’3” G : Elite Shooter with a Crafty All-Around Game

Stephen Golatte Stephen Golatte 6'3" | SG/SF Destiny Christian | 2026 State CA-N is known first and foremost as a shooter and rightfully so. He’s an elite shot-maker with deep range and a confident stroke. But what separates him is how well he plays off his jumper.

Stephen understands the advantage his shooting gives him. Defenders have to close out hard and he becomes one-step quicker because of it. He takes full advantage by getting all the way to the rim or getting into the paint, where he’s really comfortable with his floater. He’s not just getting by defenders—he’s making them pay for overcommitting.

One of the more underrated parts of his game is his patience. He doesn’t rush. If a defender flies by on the closeout, Stephen stays composed, uses a pump fake, and calmly knocks down the open shot or takes a rhythm dribble to create additional space and still has time to knock down open shots. He just knows how to create efficient long-range shots.

Stephen Golatte Stephen Golatte 6'3" | SG/SF Destiny Christian | 2026 State CA-N is becoming more than just a shooter. He’s becoming a real problem.
