Top Prospects: (*indicates highest consideration)
*6’3” PG Logan Johnson of St. Francis HS 2018 (Tyler Johnson Elite 17U)
High IQ left-handed player who truly understands the intricacies of the point guard position. Advanced feel out of the pick and roll where he reads the defense like a book in order to identify when he can explode to the basket and finish with either hand or set up a teammate by snapping a pass to a shooter or dropping one off to a rolling big. Consistent perimeter shooter who can pull up off the bounce from both mid-range and 3-point range. Ultimate competitor who displayed a passion for the game.
5’6” G Oliver Lazo of James Lick HS 2019 (San Jose Thunderbirds 15U)
Knockdown 3-point shooter from multiple spots behind the arc. Quick release with repeatable mechanics. Quick with the ball in transition.
*6’7” W/SG Jonathan Ned of Heritage HS 2018 (Team Lillard 17U)
-Long and skilled shooter with deep range. Has body control in traffic and can pull-up. Good IQ who can make plays for others. Ball fakes/1-dribble pull-ups and can drive the lane. Needs to add strength. Plays like KD. High major minus/high major potential.
6’8” PF Cameron Reese of Oakland Tech HS 2017 (Team Lillard 17U)

6’3” SG Devan Sapp of Archbishop Mitty HS 2020 (Team Lillard 16U)
Consistent shooting threat from mid and 3-point range. Understands how to utilize a shot fake to lose a defender and get into the paint where he can get into his mid-range jump shot. High motor and active defender who can guard multiple positions.
6’1” PG Treshon Smoots-Jones of Grant HS 2018 (Team Lillard 17u)
