Gerry Freitas has posted his latest prospect evaluations from the talent on display at the recent Bay Area Memorial Day Classic.

A taste:
The third annual Bay Area Memorial Day Classic was held Saturday to Monday May 25th – 27th at City College of San Francisco, Game Changers in Hayward and Tice Valley Rec Center in Walnut Creek. 101 teams in four divisions (17 Elite, 17 Varsity, 16U, 14/15U) from throughout the west coast participated. Here is a report on the Elite and Varsity divisions. Players are listed alphabetically by last name.

Top Prospects (*Indicates Highest Consideration)

6'2" PG Keith Adams of Piner HS 2015 (Sonoma County Bearcats)
-Point guard with a great basketball I.Q., a very balanced player with his offensive and defensive game, very aggressive and plays bigger than his listed height.


6'6" PF Cade Alcorn of Buchanan HS 2015 (Lakeshow 16s Elite)
-Lots of upside with this strong-bodied four man who already has a nice game. He can shoot threes with consistent accuracy and can also take his defender and score on him down low. He's a also a solid rebounder.


6'0 PG Ismail Ali of San Leandro HS 2013 (North Coast Express)
-See's the floor well, excellent passer in traffic, good spot up shooter, good on ball defender. Thrives in pressure situations- not afraid to be the go to guy.


6'5" SG/PF Nate Amundsen of Central HS 2014 (TSB 17)
-This is a very versatile basketball player. He passes well, plays smart and is a great shooter with solid release point and high arch on shot. Rebounds it well and will take charges. He uses his size to bang with taller players and is fairly active with quick feet. A hustler who maximizes what he has.


*5'11" PG Juwan Anderson of Bishop O'Dowd HS 2014 (Oakland Rebels Supriem 16)
-A very quick one man that has excellent court awareness. His handle is under control and very quick as he breaks his man down to get to the rim or drive and kick to the open man. His ball handling skills are very good and he has command of his body while getting around defenders on the ground and midair. His midrange jump shot is on target with a full speed release. Creates open shots for his teammates by penetrating and making the right read. Understands his role as a leader and makes his teammates better...
