Prep Hoops 2020 Rankings Update – San Diego’s next up
2020 RBV F Noah Fields is having a breakout seasonNoah Fields, 6-5.5 WF, Rancho Buena Vista
No player has improved more over the past two seasons than Fields, who is poised to rocket up the rankings. He’s nearly 6-6 – and growing – has solid inside out skills, and an improving perimeter game.
Savaughn Davis, 6-2 G, Mission Bay
Davis has had some big moments for the Bucs, but needs to play with greater consistency to realize his potential. The scoring/slashing combo guard could rocket up the list if he does.
Jailen Nelson, 5-10 PG, Carlsbad
After a down sophomore year, Nelson has elevated his new team, Carlsbad, with his dynamic play at the point guard position.
Adam Sevier, 5-10 PG, Poway
Should be in the rankings already, Sevier has led Poway to a surprise Open Division-level season with his dynamic scoring, underrated athleticism and ever-present moxie.
Alex Bell, 5-10 PG, Serra
Hovers under the radar because Serra is down, but the high-scoring point guard is a gnat on defense, and despite his speed in quickness, plays with solid pace and is very efficient.
Steve Stinson, 5-10 G, San Diego
Coming into form after a knee injury, Stinson has been the change-of-pace guard the Cavers have needed this year. A prolific scorer who knows how to finish around the basket through contact.
Zach White, 6-1 PG, Bishop’s
White is having a breakout year for the Knights, averaging 18 points per game and becoming a very good lead guard in the process. He doesn’t wow you with athleticism or speed, but he moves well without the ball, is crafty off the bounce and is a knockdown shooter.
Cobey Harraway, 6-3 SG, Army Navy
A transfer from Florida, Harraway has been a nice addition to the Warriors. He has great length and bounce, a picturesque pull-up game and can take it to the rack (right hand dominant) and finish through contact.
Kobe Sanders, 6-5 SG, Christian
Sanders keeps growing physically, and has eye-popping length for the two-guard position. He shoots it much more consistently than in the past, but still needs to add strength to his slight frame.
Jalai O’Keith, 6-5 WF, Foothills Christian
O’Keith has taken a big step forward for the Knights this year, as evidenced by his 20-point first half in a recent win in the OLu Hoopfest. He has the size, length and shooting ability to play on the wing at the next level. As his handle continues to improve, it will unlock more of his game.
Jake Tawhiao, 6-3 SG, Mater Dei Catholic
“Kiwi,” as he’s called, has come into his own as a scorer for the Crusaders this year. He is a relentless scorer from three levels and can finish above the rim. Shot selection is an issue.
Patrick Roberts, 6-8 C, Christian
Rail thin but blessed with length and athleticism, Roberts is the best available low-post player in the 2020 class in San Diego. He is a solid rim runner and rim protector.
Miles Williams, 5-9 PG, Christian
His listed height might be a bit generous, but Williams plays much bigger for the Patriots. A true floor general who impacts the game on both ends, Williams can score it (good mid-range game), facilitate and lead.
Others to watch:
Samuel Stewart IV, Helix
Clyde Harris, Oceanside
Matt Rivera, Vista
Zach Moore, Del Norte
Gio Martinez, Olympian
Reggie Everett, Lincoln
Vincent Warren, Mater Dei Catholic
Grant Norberg, Scripps Ranch
James Ellenstein, Sage Creek
Grant Mahler, Maranatha Christian
Blake Dean, Mt. Carmel
Scotty Prunty, Cathedral Catholic
