#21: Ryan Kiachian Ryan Kiachian 6'9" | PF Bellarmine | 2021 State CA-N /6’9/PF/Bellarmine:
Very athletic and bulky big coming at you! Kiachain the 6’9 center out of Bellarmine College Preparatory, in San Jose California, is ready to make some noise. He is a huge presence at the net, swatting ball after ball that comes at him. With a nice feel of the paint, he can cause serious havoc for guys who want to drive the ball. His post-game is pretty crafty as well. He likes the little jump hook and can adjust to either by using both hands. Also, he has made himself into a threat from mid-range and outside. If he can develop part of that game, he is going to be very strong. He holds two offers from Cal Poly and UC San Diego.
#22: Kiahn Nice Kiahn Nice 6'7" | SF Sequoia | 2021 State CA-N /6’7/SF/Sequioa:
Nice is nice in the key, but seriously he is a force to be reckoned with when he is there. He uses his body extremely well to protect the ball, and then ultimately make a spin to the right or the left. He has the ability to snag down balls over his opponents because he has long arms, and is a very athletic player. In addition, he is super quick in the transition game and blows by his defenders, then ultimately gets to the rack. He can finish through contact as well. Kiahn has lots of potential and can certainly showcase his name this upcoming season.
#23: Caden Flowers Caden Flowers 6'0" | PG Capital Christian | 2021 State CA-N /6’0/PG/Capital Christian:
Flowers had a solid season last year, but nothing outstanding. He averaged 8.1 points, 3.9 assists, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per game. But, he is a very versatile player, and I expect him to break out this upcoming season. He has the ability to handle and run the point guard position very well. His handles are very solid, and his pull-up game is strong too. He brings a lot of energy for his team and is a strong communicator on offense and defense as well. Big things coming ahead for Flowers.
#24: Miles Daniels Miles Daniels 6'1" | PG De La Salle | 2021 State CA-N /6’1/PG/De La Salle:
Daniels is very nice with the ball and can get past his defenders pretty easily. Being a natural lefty helps him create off the ball because he can catch defenders off guard at times. He has a nice spin move in his arsenal, and being quick really helps that do damage for him. Miles also has very good court vision and can facilitate an offense. He can adjust to different defenses, making it very difficult to get him under pressure. Daniels will be very impactful in his senior season.
#25: Myles Clayton Myles Clayton 6'5" | SF Modesto Christian | 2021 State CA-N : 6’5/CG/Central Catholic:
Clayton has been very strong in high school. He averaged 13.5 points per game, 8.7 rebounds, and 3.3 blocks. He makes a huge presence on the defensive end. Being only 6’5 but grabbing that many rebounds a game goes to show that he is tenacious on the glass, and loves to get into it. On the other side of the ball, Myles can hit his shots in the mid-range and has a quick first step with the ball. He can finish through heavy contact and likes the step-back shot.
