6’6 Daunte “DJ” Johnson – Moreau Catholic HS, Hayward
Johnson is a real athletic and bouncy four man with long arms and big feet. He’s an ok ball handler who can beat the defender on the short drive from the perimeter and he passes it well. He has solid post up skills: he dribble operates ok, finishes around the basket, has a jump hook and an up and under move. Johnson ok (set) shooter with 3-range who can stretch the defense. He’s a solid rebounder who pursues the ball and he can block shots. He also plays the five. Johnson is a mid/mid plus prospect.
6’8 Fallou Cisse – Prolific Prep, Napa
Cisse is an intriguing prospect with some upside. He’s fairly athletic, has ok strength, big feet and long arms. He’s an ok short (one-bounce) driver, he passes it well and he can dribble operate on the block (he has a decent jump hook). He can rebound and block shots pretty consistently. Cisse is a little raw at this point but he is a low plus prospect, worth a higher look.
6’8 Chris Fan – Modesto Christian HS, Modesto
Fan is a combo post man who is continuing to develop and improve and gain attention. He’s a decent athlete with a bit of a lift who runs fairly well. He has big feet and long arms. He does have ballhandling and passing skills. He moves fairly well without the ball and he can finish on the short drive. Fan’s post-up game is coming along nicely. He’s also a capable rebounder and he can block a shot. He’s a mid-minus prospect whose stock has risen.
6’8 De Marshay Johnson – Salesian College Prep, Richmond
Johnson is a long and fairly athletic and active postman. He can post up and score on the block fairly well. He’s a solid rebounder and a good shot blocker. Johnson could be a little more consistent but he is a mid-major prospect worth higher consideration.
6’8 Ryan Kiachian Ryan Kiachian 6'9" | PF Bellarmine | 2021 State CA-N – Bellarmine College Prep, San Jose
Kiachian has put himself on the radar with a solid regular season performance. He has solid skills and a nice work ethic. He passes it fairly well, he can get to the basket on the face-up drive and can dribble operate inside. He’s a consistent rebounder in his box. Kiachian is a mid minus/mid major prospect whose stock has risen and merits a higher look.
