#1: Isa Silva Isa Silva 6'2" | PG Prolific Prep/ Jesuit | 2021 State CA-N /6’2/PG/Jesuit/:
This kid is a bucket getter, hands down, no questions asked. But first, Silva is an unbelievable passer. He could easily be the best point guard passer in his class. He can dish no-look dimes, through the legs, behind the back, or literally whatever you need, he can do. Now onto the scoring part. Isa can also do that pretty well, too. His first step is super quick, and he blows bu his defenders immediately. He has a ton of craft and can finish through contact, or style. Also, Silva can score with his left, making it extremely hard to guard. The Stanford commit is going to be fun to watch. We won’t get ahead of ourselves but, what team would you like to see him on in the NBA?
#2: Cole Anderson Cole Anderson 6'3" | PG Clovis West | 2021 #183 Nation CA-N /6’3/PG/Clovis West:
This player has some serious bounce, first of all. He lives above the rim and you don’t want to get in his way when he rises up. He has superb handles and can make something out of nothing. Anderson has the ability to drive by his opponents when the offense is stalling, and not working. Also, he can pull-up and hit the deep shot. Cole surprises his defenders at times when he pulls up because they are cautious about him driving, which makes it a more open three. On defense, he can guard multiple positions with his toughness and knack for the ball. The UC Satna Barbara commit is ready to make a big impact.
I am excited to announce that I am committed to UC Santa Barbara! Go gauchos! pic.twitter.com/lb4yq7DL9v

#3: Mike Mitchell Mike Mitchell 6'3" | PG Archbishop Mitty | 2021 State #191 Nation CA-N /6’3/SG/Archbishop Mitty:
This kid just brings a chip on his back. An incredible athlete, who can just adjust to everything that’s thrown his way. His handles are silky smooth. Mitchell can put the spin move on his defenders, he can cross them out the gym, or just keep it simple and get by them, quite easily. He is a tough finisher at the basket. Mike can facilitate his offense well, and he is a loud communicator which helps him big time. Quick in the transition game, and can shoot the three-ball as well. On defense, he protects the paint well for only being 6’3. His bunnies are very solid, and he can pack his opponent’s shots. Lorenzo Romar and Pepperdine got a very solid player coming their way.
#4: Marsalis Roberson Marsalis Roberson 6'5" | SG Bishop O'Dowd | 2021 State #217 Nation CA-N /6’4/CG/Bishop O’Dowd:
Roberson is not getting the attention he deserves, as of right now. He holds several offers from mid-major programs, and finally, power five programs are getting in on him. The 6’4 guard is a serious player. Quick with his hands-on defense, he loves to pick and strip his opponent. Roberson has the ability to make up for lost ground on defense because his hops are extreme. On the other side of the ball, he is a strong finisher who can either finish with his left, right or a flashy dunk. In addition, he sees the court really well. He can run the floor general or will push, resulting in a beautiful dime. He can develop his outside game a bit more, to become the whole package. But that is coming.
#5: Geronimo Rubio De La Rosa Geronimo Rubio De La Rosa 6'1" | PG Brookside Christian | 2021 TX /6’1/PG/Brookside Christian:
Another player who just gives it his all on the court. If he is trailing a play on defense, he won’t give up. He has been known for his blocks and recoveries on plays. He loves to pick and pest on defense. Rosa can play all types of defense and bothers guys. On offense, he can do a variety of things. He likes to drive to the hoop, and either kick it to an open teammate or take it himself. In addition, he can fly up and down the court and jam the ball hard. His mid-range game is solid, making it pretty difficult to guard him. But, Geronimo is just a competitor, he loves to win and give it all he’s got. He currently has a couple of mid-major offers, but more should be flying in soon.
