ESPN's Joel Francisco on some locals/regional in the Double Pump

ESPN's Joel Francisco offers his takes on the top performers in the Double Pump Best of Summer event in southern California. His northern California-related items:

Tajai Johnson (Vallejo, Calif./Vallejo)
2012, PG/SG, 6-3, 180 pounds

Johnson has been one of the pleasant surprises this summer. He is a strong point guard with good length and broad shoulders. The left-hander has a quick first step to the basket, and he can finish through contact or drop off the assist. He needs to tighten up his pull-up game and work on being able to penetrate going right as well as he does going left, but there are few prospects who play as hard as Johnson at both ends. He has a Big West flavor to his recruitment, claiming offers from UC-Davis, UC-Riverside and UC-Irvine.

and

Thomas Wallace (Stockton, Calif./McNair)
2013, SG, 6-3, 185 pounds

Wallace is a blue-collar scoring guard who punishes the defense with hard-nosed drives to the basket and tenacious energy on the defensive end. He is quite good off the dribble and he has the strength to finish in the painted area. Defensively, he has quick hands and he plays the passing lanes very well. Wallace is hearing from the Pac-12 and WCC thus far in his recruiting.

and

Oakland Soldiers Blue has a number of fine-looking Division I prospects, including 6-3 junior Darin Johnson (Elk Grove, Calif./Franklin) and 6-6 junior Noah Allen (Salinas, Calif./Palma). Johnson is an explosive 2-guard who has a knack for scoring, while Allen is a smooth wing-type with a solid jump shot.
