David Young David Young 6'4" | CG Folsom | 2023 State CA-N 6’3 G of Rose City Ballers 16U (Folsom HS)
Young was a steady contributor for his team at this event. He has a solid body and he takes good care of the ball. He does a lot of the little things that don’t show up in the stat sheet. He takes good shots, makes the extra pass, will fill the lanes in transition, he has the foot speed to defend on the perimeter, and strength to take on bigger players in the post at times. He’ll help on the boards.
George Gale George Gale 6'4" | SF Branson | 2023 State CA-N 6’6 W/F of NBBA Gray 17U (The Branson HS) 2023
Gale a long wiry kind of player with good fundamentals. He isn’t physically where he needs to be yet, but he does have some tools to work with. He’s long and active, with decent footwork in the post including a jump hook and a jumper in the key. He’ll step out and shoot 3’s when he’s open. He’ll rebound, and run with long strides in transition.
Sam Norris Sam Norris 6'6" | SF Sacred Heart Prep | 2023 State CA-N 6’6 W/F of Lakeshow 15’s, 16’s (Sacred Heart Prep HS) 2023
A fundamentally sound player, who has a decent skill set, all while trying to gain strength, and coordination while still growing. He moves okay and is capable of playing inside and out. He’ll go after rebounds, has good length to defend in the post area. When he gets stronger he’ll complete some of the things he tries to do. His stock will rise. We’ll keep an eye on him.
Leon Mills Leon Mills 6'1" | CG Edison | 2023 State CA-N 6’1 CG of Stockton Soldiers 16U (Edison HS) 2023
Mills has steadily put together a good Spring and Summer of basketball. He has decent handles, and is capable of running the offense up top. He’s most effective attacking from the perimeter, where he can handles the contact and still finish, and in the open court, skating by defenders on his way for buckets. He’s on the watch list.
Jayden Teat Jayden Teat 6'3" | CG Capital Christian | 2023 State CA-N 6’1 CG of Oakland Soldiers Navy 16U ( Jesuit HS) 2023
Tate’s a fast and speedy guard who excels pushing in the open court. He has a quick release, and good bounce on his mid-range jumper that goes in. He loves using his speed, and a floater to get into the lane for buckets over taller players. He has good arm length to rebound, to take up passing lanes, and cause difficulty for shooters. He’ll make shots from 3.
