In this piece, we break down the performances of the SoCal-based players who attended the event in Arizona.
Aziz O. Muhammad, Pasadena – High motor wing with a knack for finding the ball on the offensive and defensive glass. Earned his team a number of second chance opportunities by crashing the boards and out-working the opponent. Versatile defender who guarded well both inside and out. Made his impact offensively when running the floor and finishing around the basket.
Amun Collins, Rancho Christian – Long, lanky wing prospect who has a smooth and consistent catch-and-shoot three-point shot. Possesses deep and consistent range from multiple spots behind-the-arc. The 6-foot-3 off-guard moves well without the ball and has the ball handling ability to create for himself and others in isolation.
Omarion Shackelford, Morningside – Rangy left-hander who has some shiftiness and playmaking in his arsenal. The 6-foot-4 wing filled the lane really nicely in transition and used his long strides and length to glide to the rim for strong and off-handed scores. Effective driver to his left in the half-court setting was able ot draw defender sand dish to open teammates.Â
Zavior Smith, Pasadena – The strong and physical 6-footer made a living by getting into the paint and putting pressure on the defense in transition. Smith’s burly frame and speed helped him absorb bumps and stay on balance when probing and dishing to open teammates. Smith, while setting others up was definitely his preference, showed flashes of pull-up jump shooting ability.
