6’6 Julius Alcantara – Serra HS, San Mateo
Alcantara is a combo forward who is a decent athlete with long arms and some lift. He can handle the ball adequately and is a good passer. He moves fairly well without the ball and can play inside and outside. Alcantara is an ok driver and has a decent jump hook on the block. He is likely a mid-Division II prospect.
6’5 Tyler Brinkman – Salesian Prep, Richmond
Brinkman is a three/four man with a high IQ who plays within himself. Without a doubt his best asset is his ability to shoot the ball (with 3 range). He plays without the ball and fits in well as a “system” type player. Brinkman does have solid ball-handling and passing skills. He projects to be a mid-level Division II prospect.
6’5 Jai Deshpande – Sacred Heart Prep, Atherton
Deshpande is a wing who really maximizes what he has and brings it every time he steps on the court. He is a little thin and could use some bulk/strength. He has some ability to finish on the break and he is a real good shooter with 3-point range. He is the kind of player you want in the game when the money is on the line at the end. Deshpande is a probable Division II prospect.
6’4 Malik Jackson – Dublin HS, Dublin
Jackson is a fairly athletic wing with long arms who can run the floor. He is a capable handler and passer who brings a lot to the table offensively. He pulls up ok half court, shoots it ok with 3-point range, has a floater and is a fairly good driver with a nice first step. Jackson is also a solid rebounder who pursues the ball. He’s a nice Division II prospect.
6’4 Roman Livingston – Bear Creek HS, Stockton, CA
Livingston is an athletic combo forward with real long arms who can elevate. He can handle it some and passes fairly well. He’s an ok shooter with 3-point range, has a floater, is a fairly good driver and he has a jump hook. Significantly he can rebound and block shots. Livingston projects somewhere in the Division II range.
6’2 Michael McCulley – Pitman HS, Turlock
McCulley is a three man who can run the floor. He has the ability to pull up in transition and in the half court. He’s an ok shooter with long range and is a solid driver-decent first step. He can rebound consistently. McCulley is a bit raw and does have some upside. He has a chance to be a Division II prospect with some development.
