Isaiah Hicks 5’10 PG San Marcos 2021 – Hicks displayed a terrific floor game. The PG was able to get into the lane and finish around the rim. When he got stopped from getting all the way to the hole, he displayed the lost art of the mid-range. Solid handle and good vision, like many of the Team Build-up players, he displayed grit and toughness throughout the day.
Malachi Murrell Malachi Murrell 6'2" | SF Shadow Hills | 2022 CA-S 6’2 SF La Quinta 2022 (#112PHSC 2022) – Murrell was an explosive athlete that was able to get to the rim and finish. He’s a positionless player that impacts the game in a variety of ways. On Sunday the 6’2 wing was at his best when slashing to the basket, and playing downhill in transition.
Damian Ruiz Damian Ruiz 6'2" | SG Linfield Christian | 2022 State CA-S 6’2 SG Murieta Valley 2022 (#74PHSC 2022) – If Ruiz is in the building, then he’s in range. He’s been working more on his floor game to complement his shooting and it was on display on Sunday. In addition to his usual sniping ability, he was also able to drive and finish in the paint.
Carter Lankford 6’2 SG Rancho Bernardo 2022 – Lankford will probably make my all teammate team. He defended multiple positions, battled for rebounds, and sacrificed his body for loose balls. Although he didn’t shoot it well, the high academic wing was able to provide a ton of intangibles that impacted the game.
Ian Jones 6’1 SG Sonora La Hombra 2021 – Jones has a good frame and powerful physique. He used both in conjunction with his high motor, energy, and effort. The 6’1 guard was one of the best out of area rebounders on the day.
