#16: Cameron Niles/6’5/SF/Del Campo:
Well, this kid is the definition of explosive. He can really push the ball from the getco and finish with authority. He had a very good season last year, being just 0.1 rebounds away from averaging a double-double. His arms are extremely long, so he has the ability to chase down shots and swat them away. Also, he likes to get dirty on the defensive end and snag and strip balls away from his opponents. Again, Niles is waiting to show off what he has because he has a ton in his tank. Cameron currently holds two D1 offers. One from UC Davis and the other being from UC Riverside. Expect the list to expand.

#17: Tyree Gill/6’2/SG/Burbank:
Gill really proved what he had in the tank last season. He had a very good year for his high school, Burbank. He averaged 20.1 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 3.4 assists. All-around player, and can impact several parts of the game. He has insane bounce to his game and seriously lives above the net. He has the ability to drive to the hoop and pull-up from the mid-range game. He has a smooth release and rises up quickly. Being a lefty benefits him because he can blow up defenders, but he can also do that on the right side as well. Gill is extraordinarily quick off the bounce and can get the pain pretty easily. Hopefully, another mixtape for him is coming soon.
#18: Lucky Hampton/6’1/SG/Salesian:
Hampton likes to get on it on the defensive end, first of all. He can anticipate where passes are going and jump in the lane to snag balls. Hampton’s quick hands are a huge pest to his opponent, and it really helps him on that side of the ball. On the other side of things, Lucky can really hit it from deep. He is a catch and shoot type of player, with a lightning-fast release. He is really solid with his feet and can plant them while he dials up a shot. He also has the ability to drive to the rim, and float in a little teardrop, or layup. He is a crafty player and I would expect his stock to rise.
#19: Demarshay Johnson/6’9/PF/Salesian:
This kid can really get up. He is a beast in the paint on defense. Super lengthy arms and a good feel of the game helps him track down balls, and send them flying. He feels huge compared to his opponents and is quite frankly a cheat code at Salesian. Johnson is also a strong passer, who will find his teammates to produce a better shot and look for the team. He was stellar running zone defense and can pick off lazy passes because his IQ for the game is sharp. If he can knock down the outside shot at a higher rate, he is going to be very very good.
#20: Nigel Burris/6’6/SF/Archbishop Mitty:
The 6’7 small forward brings several assets to the table. First, he is a versatile player, who can guard 1-5 on the defensive end. Quick on his feet, and has an explosive feel to his game while locking up opponents. On the offensive side of things, Nigel is incredibly athletic. He has thrown down some vicious dunks over his years in high-school, and he lives above the rim. In addition, his post-game is effective. He can shed off defenders, with his size, and then uses quick feet to score. He likes the fadeaway, which he is starting to master as well. Burris is going to morph into a very solid player.
